Results: In the study group (A) Systolic Blood Pressure decreases 11.4%{u2193}, also Diastolic Blood Pressure In the study group (A) decreases 12.3%{u2193}. but, In the study group (B) or Control Group, Systolic Blood Pressure decreases 2.9%{u2193}, also Diastolic Blood Pressure In the study group (B) decreases 2.8%{u2193}. In the study group (A) Hemoglobin count decreases 2.8%{u2193} but, In study group (B) Hemoglobin count increases 1.4%{u2191} In the study group (A) Pain decreases 58.5%{u2193} but, In study group (B) or control group Pain decreases 24.1%
