ABSTRACT
Mudra Therapy has the physiological effect of relaxing the muscles surround the small blood vessels which allows the blood to flow more easily and it relaxes the blood vessels and leads to an increase in blood flow and a lower pressure. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of Mudra Therapy (Apana Vayu Mudra) on level of blood pressure among hypertensive clients. The study was done in 60 hypertensive clients. These clients were divided into two groups (n=60) one group pre-test and post-test - Pre experimental design were used for this study. In this study pre-test was done Mudra Therapy intervention were given for the clients, post-test were done after the intervention for each three days. The blood pressure were measured by Sphygmomanometer, it was analyzed statistically by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result showed that in control group without Mudra Therapy level of blood pressure significantly increased (p>0.001) over time. Whereas, in experimental group, with Mudra Therapy level of blood pressure were significantly decreased (p<0.001) overtime. It indicated that daily practicing of Mudra Therapy may decrease the level of blood pressure among hypertensive clients.
