Under stress the SNS takes over. And one of the physiological reactions of SNS activation is constrictions of the blood vessels, that leads to Hypertension.
The Top Bottom Mechanism Model of Music Therapy:-

The factors that contribute to the SNS Activation & Blood vessels constriction are Stress- anger, fear & other negative emotions (Stress Model). Äyurvedä says that Hypertension is caused by Pitta imbalance in the body levels & anger is the psychological manifestations of Pitta imbalance (Nagrajan, Srinivasan, & Nagendra, 2014). The SNS activation is controlled by the Limbic System which also processes emotion. The processing of music also takes place in Limbic System.
According to the Sämänya viçeña siddhänta - the similar factors or rasas leads to Augmentation of a rasa. And the dissimilar factors or rasa reduces it. (Loon, 1981). Calmness or çänta rasa is the opposite rasa for Anger. The rägä which induces çänta rasa have been used in the study to reduce Anger and pitta which in turn can reduce Blood Pressure.

    Bikram yoga was developed thirty years ago by Bikram Choudhury, a renowned Hatha Yoga Master. It is a specific yoga practice that is carried out in 105˚ F at 40% humidity for 90 minutes. Some studies and practitioners have suggested that Bikram yoga practice has positive impacts on physical health as well as decreasing stress and anxiety. There were certain inclusion criteria for participation in this study. Age was not an exclusion and participants ranged in age from 18 to over 60 years of age. This study sought to interview active students of Bikram yoga who have been practicing consistently for at least the last eight weeks, at a minimum of three times per week. Students meeting the requirements at the Bikram yoga studios in San Antonio were invited to complete the survey instrument from November 16 through November 26, 2011. Seventy-five students responded to the survey. The results indicated that there are significant positive results from regularly practicing Bikram yoga. Since Bikram yoga encourages students to hold poses in a “hot” room it increases heart rate and acts as a cardiovascular exercise without the high impact normally associated with cardio exercises. The results of the survey instrument yielded over 50% of respondents reporting an answer of “somewhat better” for all of the questions, indicating that most respondents see a benefit in their practice. Additionally, stress and anxiety decreased with over 80% of respondents reporting somewhat to much less anxious and stressed. Improvements to physical fitness were observed with over 90% reporting improved…

    “Anger is a basic human emotion that is experienced by all people” (Mills, 2005). It is a natural response that is triggered when someone feels hurt or mistreated. Although, it is not just a clear-cut emotion that consists of one general feeling that is the same for everyone. The levels of anger that a person feels may not always be identical and there are varying degrees of responses that someone can express when they are experiencing this sentiment. How often a person gets angry, how intensely they feel this emotion, and how long it lasts varies for every individual. This results in a range of intensity of the anger that they express. How a person decides to handle this emotional signal can be a decisive factor as to any consequential effects…
