One of the oldest home remedies for hypertension is often found in dentist offices and hotel lobbies.
Hotels often have a warm and glowing fireplace in the lobby as you walk in after a hard day of traveling and working. It has a positive, calming, stress-relieving effect on your subconscious as you check in.
Dentist offices are not one of our favorite places to visit. As you sit in the patient waiting room to be escorted into the torture chamber, you become fixated on the fish aquarium in the center of the room filled with lazy exotic and colorful fish peering out at you with huge thoughtful eyes. Your subconscious silently takes over, you become less anxious before you’re led away to Novocain land.
“Hey doc, I really like your waiting room! There’s something about it but I just can’t put my finger on it.”
