Adding pictures
Hello. I have noticed that you are adding pictures in different pages in Wikipedia. While this is a good practice in general, please do not add it in every possible page you can find. Pick the page it is most relevant to, see if it is needed (i.e. it should impart additional information relevant to the subject), and only then should you add it.

And please note that adjectives like "life saving" or claims that it "cures paralysis" are pretty controversial. Unless the effect is widely attested, it is improper to include them per our policies on neutrality. Usage in alternative/traditional medicine also needs to be explicitly differentiated from modern medicinal usage. While usage in alternative medicine is not forbidden from being mentioned, they also should not be endorsed as if they have been through legitimate medical research if they haven't. Maintain an objective distance and always include a reliable source.

If you have any questions on formatting, editing, etc. feel free to ask me in my talk page.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  14:08, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
