THE BMC HYPERTENSION THERAPY ROOM

In this online room, the Slow Breathing, Music and Colors therapies are applied together to lower your blood pressure, and to reduce your stress level.

FIRST THERAPY: SLOW BREATHING

Studies published in the Journal of Human Hypertension and numerous other respected medical journals reveal that:
Breathing slowly and deeply (less than 10 breaths per minute) for 10 to 15 minutes a day while extending exhalation results in significant reductions in blood pressure. That's because gentle, slow breathing acts like a natural safety valve to relax muscle tension, especially in the chest area, allowing constricted blood vessels to open and relieve pressure on the heart.

Slow breathing is the most important therapy used by BMC-HypertensionCenter to reduce your blood pressure.

The BMC-HypertensionCenter therapy room is a web page that drives you to the best breathing pattern and rate to reduce high blood pressure. It guides you to use the appropriate breathing pattern in a very simple and intuitive way so you can really relax and obtain the maximum benefit from the therapy.

In addition of reducing your blood pressure, the BMC therapy will also reduce your stress level. This because the slow breathing pattern used to reduce blood pressure is also close enough to the pattern that reduces stress. Since the site is developed to be very easy to use, enjoyable, and relaxing, it also helps you releasing stress, which is itself one possible cause of high blood pressure.

SECOND THERAPY: MUSIC

The healing force of music has been known since ancient times: Aesculapius, Plato, Hippocrates, Aristotle are among the first scientists that are known to have studied and applied music therapy .

Today, music is used to treat a wide range of psychological and physiological conditions. Perhaps none of music's benefits are more important in this stress-filled age than its ability to reduce blood pressure .

According to a 2009 Cochrane review performed on individuals with coronary heart disease evidences that “Music listening may have a beneficial effect on blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, anxiety, and pain”.

Recent research suggests that music can increase a patient's motivation and positive emotions. Current research also suggests that when music therapy is used in conjunction with traditional therapy, it improves success rates significantly.

Color therapy also called chromotherapy is a method of treatment that uses the visible spectrum (colors) of electromagnetic radiation to cure diseases. It is a centuries-old concept used successfully over the years to cure various diseases .

COMPETITORS

RESPeRATE is the only product that can be considered a BMC-hypertensioncenter competitor because it uses the slow breathing and music therapy to lower blood pressure. However, it is really a partial competitor because:

• it doesn’t use color therapy;
• it is not a therapy room that create a surrounding relaxing environment;
• it doesn’t have any of the features that help you to monitor and control your blood pressure and discover other natural ways to reduce it.

Check here for a comparison of RESPeRATE vs BMC-hypertensioncenter.

Beside the reduced list of features, RESPeRATE is also a hardware solution that requires you to purchase a device that might or might not work for you.
