What is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure (hypertension), often called a silent killer, is the pressure of the blood in the arteries. Blood pressure is typically recorded as the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (time between two beats).

A Natural Cough Medicine
Home Remedies for cough
In an amber jar with lid (preferably glass- like creamer comes in), place 1 large onion that you section so it will fit. Cover with a bottle of honey and top with lemon juice. Let this ferment as long as you can (make it in the summer, so by fall it's really good). The onion will blacken a little from the sugars in the honey and lemon, but don't remove it. It's OK. Take this straight from a teaspoon (heat it a few moments over the pilot light on your gas stove) or use a few Tbsp to make a tea.
