iOS iPad

Breathe Away High Blood Pressure is based on evidence, provided by clinical studies, that adult with high blood pressure can lower their blood pressure by slowing their breathing rate and pattern. The evidence provided by these studies also demonstrate that when one engages in daily, 15 minute sessions of slowed and patterned breathing for three weeks, the decrease in blood pressure becomes sustained between sessions.

It guides the user through a 15 minute exercise of slowed and regularized breathing, by providing the user with auditory cues to breathe in and breathe out. The user can select from three types of cues: verbal cues, chimes, and ocean waves. The user can also select from several pleasant music loops to play in the background, or have only the breath cue playing if desired.

You can also choose from a number of relaxing scenes to contemplate at while doing your guided breathing exercise.
