The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and American Medical Association released their 2025 guidelines for the treatment of high blood pressure (HBP) in adults.
National practice guidelines recommend Transcendental Meditation as an evidence-based lifestyle modification to lower blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular events and mortality.
The joint committee concluded that TM has the strongest and most consistent body of scientific evidence among stress-reducing methods for High Blood Pressure.
