Anger is a natural human emotion present in different people at different levels from mild agitation to explosive outbursts caused by anything from annoyance at a specific person or an insignificant event. How a person deals with that anger helps determine if special steps are needed to control the anger.

While a thorough medical and psychological review will be needed to determine the underlying cause of out-of-control anger once it has been established pharmaceutical help may be a benefit, there are those who hesitate to take prescription drugs, for a variety of reason, and look, instead, for a more natural means of anger management. Many of the typically prescribed drugs also have some side effects that make people turn away from them.
