Dee,
 
This is how an old italian neighbor helped me bring down my bp when even meds 
couldn't help.
 
1.  Put a tablespoon of Epsom Salt in a glass of water and let sit in 
refrigerator overnight.
 
2.  Following morning put 1-1/2 inch of the solution in a glass of orange juice.
 
3.  Drink all  of it at once.
 
This would act as a purgative/detoxifier.   
 
It did bring my bp down.
