Qigong for Managing Blood Pressure and Circulation

A Gentle Path to Heart Health

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a significant global health concern. While treatment

requires professional medical care, gentle practices like Qigong can be a powerful

complement.

Qigong works by engaging your body’s natural ability to relax, which can help calm the

nervous system and promote efficient circulation.

Qigong supports lower blood pressure through two key actions:

It Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS): The deep, slow, abdominal

breathing taught in Qigong pulls the body out of the stressful "fight or flight" mode and into

the "rest and digest" (PNS) state. This immediately signals blood vessels to relax and widen.

Reduces Stress Hormones: Chronic stress elevates hormones like cortisol, which constrict

blood vessels. Consistent Qigong practice lowers overall stress, mitigating this hormonal

effect and helping to stabilize blood pressure over time.

⚠️ IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTE: If you are managing hypertension, do not hold your

breath during any Qigong exercise. Maintain a smooth, continuous flow of breath.

🔑 Key to Success: Consistency

The greatest benefit for heart health comes from consistent practice.
