You take a small amount of it from the ashtray (two cigs worth) and put it under your tongue. Tastes terrible so you hold it as long as you can before spitting it out.

Maybe it does something we don't know about. Easier to trust modern medicine, of course, but then they don't know everything either. <br /><br />This is the first I've heard of the tests.

The fact that you have 30 reasons why you aren't stressed indicates that you've thought up many excuses for things that stress you, so I would say follow the doctor's advice and try to destress.
