Does closing your eyes relax them in the same way as viewing objects at distance? Is there any benefit in taking breaks from your work to briefly close your eyes?

Ashwagandha use long term for blood pressure

After 15 days of taking 600mg / day my average blood pressure has reduced from 140/90 to 115/75. Seems fairly dramatic and very positive. In AMA #3 you recommend cycling off of Ashwagandha after 30 days. given the improvement of BP seen, would you still recommend cycling off? Also, is it fair to assume the primary reason for BP improvement is related to cortisol reduction? Finally, I have been hesitant to begin taking a statin if i can find other ways to manage it. Is there any evidence that managing blood pressure with a natural herb is any 'better' than taking a statin?
