On a related holostic topic, celery seed dramatically lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. Mine was borderline high and I didn't want to go on any meds. I buy the cheap raw seeds, grind it, and then add it to my loose tea infuser. Celery seed (also sold as an expensive vitamin extract) is a mild diuretic, calcium channel blocker and anti-inflammatory. It also has anti-bacterial properties, is a natural relaxant, and has show anti-cancerl propeties in some animal studies. Works great for me (bp and cholesterol)
