Datey et al. (1969) studied the effect of śavāsana (lying down posture with awareness of breathing by attending to stomach movements) on hypertensive patients and found that a group of subjects who took no drugs showed a significant decrease in their blood pressure. They also reported that the patients experienced a sense of well-being and improvement in somatic symptoms after practicing śavāsana 30 min daily for about 30 weeks.<ref>K. Ramakrishna Rao & Anand C.
