Really - you never heard that high blood pressure is a contraindication to massage? As I say in my OP, just doing a google search will reveal this info on many sites, i.e. it's not my opinion.

I would like to quantify this with further info. MLD (manual lymphatic drainage) is safe to proceed with (if you have chronic high blood pressure) pending the O.K from consultation with your GP.

Re. garlic and blood pressure. Yes I am familiar with its effect but it is not recommended that medication should be stopped, i.e. as a substitute.
