Description
The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson recommends meditation as a non-medicinal treatment for stress and hypertension. As a doctor, Benson believes that the connection between the mind and the body is quite overlooked in medicine, and sees some diseases, such as hypertension, as best treated mainly through mind/body exercises. Benson points out that stress-caused hypertension is an epidemic in American society, and explains how meditation can reduce stress and hypertension. He then describes the exact meditation technique that he uses to control hypertension, so that readers might implement it themselves.
