    Great and useful information. It’s always good to know that there are some natural ways, other than drugs. I wonder if garlic has to be used raw or garlic in capsules will also do? Unfortunately walking with a smell of garlic on the mouth is usually not liked in the western society, so capsules could be a good alternative.

    There is no doubt that the correct diet is almost paramount in controlling all aspects of health and particularly high blood pressure. Going back to the basics of diet and exercise will do wonders in 99% of ailments. Also consider meditation. This way you can connect to the basis and take clear and correct action.

    Never knew how Cayenne was so good at so many things. I would think that sprinkling Cayenne on an open wound may not be to pleasant but neither is alcohol.
