Cure for High Blood Pressure

Squeeze a lemon, place the pulp and seeds in a glass of
water. Let all the lemon settle to the bottom of the glass and
then begin the sip. Garlic may be substituted for the lemon.

Submitter comment: During the time of her late husband's funeral she was given a
glass of water with lemon in it and it helped reduce her blood
pressure.

James Callow comment: For the use of garlic to prevent or cure hypertension see
Puckett, Ohio, nos. 10158-10161.
