- it is not an uncommon finding that folks who are a bit stressed by visits to the physician can show blood pressure that is a bit elevated upon arrival - one way to deal with this is to have the BP taken a second time toward the end of the consultation when perhaps the persopn has relaxed a bit
- also, the condition of the blood vessels matters - as they narrow with age BP will go up as a direct result
- also, salt intake needs to be watched - salt will raise blood pressure faster than almost anything
- yes, low or no salt diets are one of the least favorite aspects for most folks dealing with high BP
- one has to read the labels on every thing one buys to see the sodium content - what a hassle - but it can easily save a stroke or worse
-as for Reiki? The kidney suggestion is a good one - I also might do a bit of Reiki to the base of the skull and the major arteries themselves
- suggest to your mother that she focus her attention to these areas and structures as she receives Reiki
Reiki All Around,
All Blessings,
