How to Make a Charcoal Compress

How to Make a Charcoal Compress



Charcoal is an anecdote for various creature bites, stings and toxic ingestion. A charcoal compress is easy to make and can be kept on hand for treating bee and wasp stings, wound infections and abscesses. Skin has the ability to allow poison and bacteria to be drawn out of the pores and into a poultice or compress which enables healing if the compress is kept moist and warm.







Things You'll Need:





Activated Charcoal, water, paper towel or other porous material, plastic wrap and adhesive tape.









1


Purchase Activated Charcoal from a drug store.





2


Mix only enough water with the charcoal powder to make a paste. Don't start with too much water. It should be moist but not crumbling or dripping.





3


Spread the paste on one side of a creased paper towel (or other porous material) and fold the other half of the paper towel over the top of the paste. Fold all of the edges and tape them closed to prevent paste from falling out. The compress should cover the entire afflicted area of skin.





4


Position the compress over the afflicted area and cover it with plastic wrap to keep in moisture. If the charcoal dries out, it will not be able to adsorb, which means to store a substance on a surface.





5


Secure the compress with the plastic wrapping to the skin with surgical tape or other adhesive tape.





6


Leave the compress on the skin for 2-4 hours or overnight for more severe afflictions.





7


Change the compress often depending on the severity of the affliction. Corn starch may be used with charcoal to hold in moisture for long-term compresses. Compresses can be made ahead of time and frozen for emergencies.

How to Get a Shiatsu Massage

How to Get a Shiatsu Massage



Shiatsu is a 5,000-year-old Japanese style of deep tissue massage, also called acupressure. The practitioner uses his or her fingers and palms to apply pressure to specific areas of the body in order to break up energy blockages and reopen the client's life flow, also known as "chi".If you want to get shiatsu massage, it's important to choose a skilled therapist who will be dedicated to your well being.









1


Understand the difference between shiatsu and other forms of deep tissue massage therapy before making an appointment for either. Both forms of body work get into the deeper layers of muscle. A deep tissue massage may be painful until stress pockets can be smoothed out, but shiatsu should not produce pain.





2


Contact the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia for the name of a licensed shiatsu massage therapist in your area. Licensed therapists must have graduated from a program of study accredited by the Commission for Massage Therapy Accreditation/Approval in the United States. The program involves 500 hours training and the student must also pass a standardized exam from the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.





3


Check with your state licensing agency for any disciplinary issues with a potential shiatsu massage therapist. They keep a list of all bodywork therapists and can alert you to any scam artists.





4


Get shiatsu massage from a massage school. Most have internships that allow students to work on members of the public as part of the hands-on educational requirement. It's an affordable way to experience this form of bodywork and lets you decide if you wish to seek an alternative type of massage therapy.








Tips & Warnings










Shiatsu differs from regular massage therapy in that it focuses on a physical imbalance not disease as causing the list of symptoms a client may list on an initial visit.








While most healthy people don't usually need medical clearance for massage therapy, check with your physician if you have any concerns.

How to Find a Massage Chair

How to Find a Massage Chair



There's nothing like a massage from a friend or significant other. Unfortunately, convincing that special someone to give you the royal treatment every night is nearly impossible. Stop relying on your lazy lover by taking notes on these tips for finding a massage chair.









1


Walk through the mall. Shopping malls usually have at least one store that features a massage chair open to public use. If you don't intend to buy a chair, this is a great way to take advantage of a high-dollar massage chair for a few heavenly minutes. Malls, of course, are also perfect places to purchase a chair.





2


Peruse a specialty store. A store specifically devoted to massage chairs is ideal for testing many chairs at one visit and for comparison shopping. Check your local yellow pages under "massage" for a listing of stores.





3


Be resourceful. Scour the newspaper, Craigslist, the garage sale listings and your community bulletin. You have a good chance of paying a much lower price if you can buy a massage chair secondhand or from a private owner. Be patient--a luxury item like a massage chair is not going to just magically show up in the freebies.





4


Check out a massage therapists' store or a medical equipment store. A number of stores nationwide sell tools and equipment for licensed massage therapists. Along with massage tables, oils, candles and textbooks, these stores almost always carry a few massage chairs. Similarly, physical therapists sometimes use massage in their treatment. Scan a medical equipment store for a discounted massage chair.








Tips & Warnings










With massage chairs, the general rule is "what you see is what you get." A gigantic, reclining massage chair with many controls will almost always be more enjoyable and effective than a small massager that straps on to another chair.

How to Eat Watermelon to Cure Acidity

How to Eat Watermelon to Cure Acidity



Day after day you suffer from stomach acidity. You chew dry tablets or swallow some foul liquid to get rid of it. It would be nice if there was something natural, good tasting and inexpensive that could relieve your heartburn symptoms. Check the produce aisle of your supermarket. When you find watermelon, you've found your remedy.







Things You'll Need:





Watermelon




Large knife




Other fruits (optional)









1


Select a watermelon. There are many varieties, depending on the season of the year and where you live. The melons may be large or small, have yellow, red or pink flesh and seeds or no seeds. Any kind will do.





2


Make sure the melon is ripe. Unripe melons will not help reduce acidity. To check for ripeness, look at the bottom of the watermelon (the end opposite the stem). Look for a yellow or cream color to the rind. If the rind is green or white, the melon is not ripe.





3


Store uncut watermelon at room temperature. It will last about 2 weeks if the rind remains intact.





4


Put cut watermelon in the refrigerator. Be ready to eat it right away. Once cut and chilled, it will only stay fresh for about 3 days.





5


Prepare the watermelon in any way you like. Cutting it into bite-sized chunks and storing it covered in the refrigerator will make it easy to take it out and eat to cure acidity at any time.





6


Eat 4 to 6 chunks slowly. Repeat throughout the day. How many you eat and how often will depend on how much discomfort you have. You can eat watermelon to cure acidity as often as once an hour.





7


Get creative with your watermelon. Blend it to make a refreshing drink. Freeze it plain or make a frozen sorbet or granita. Add other fruits or juices that help cure acidity, such as bananas or coconut milk, and make a smoothie.








Tips & Warnings










If you are the only person in your household eating the watermelon, buy only half or a quarter of a melon from the refrigerator section of the market, so that it will not spoil. The watermelon must be fresh, or it will not help your digestion.








Checking for ripeness before you buy a watermelon is important. The melon does not continue to ripen once it has been cut from the vine.








Do not heat watermelon. Cooking reduces its effectiveness against acidity.

How to Eat Cucumber to Cure Acidity

How to Eat Cucumber to Cure Acidity



Heartburn, nausea, bloating, excess gas or stomach discomfort after eating may indicate excess stomach acid. Over-the-counter pills, tablets and liquids can be unpleasant to swallow and may not work. Fortunately, if you eat cucumber, you are on your way relieving the acidity.







Things You'll Need:





Fresh cucumber




Knife




Grater




Salt and pepper (optional)




Yogurt (optional)




Cottage cheese (optional)







A




1


Buy fresh cucumbers. Make sure the skin is dark-green without yellow or black spots and that the flesh is firm from end to end. Light-green, yellow or withered stems indicate a lack of freshness. Too big a diameter means that it is overripe and has a large seed core.





2


Cut the cucumber into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Eat 2 slices every 2 hours to cure acidity. You may eat the cucumber slices more or less often, depending on the severity of your symptoms.





3


Leave the skin on and the seeds in the cucumber to preserve freshness, nutrients and fiber.





4


Dress up the cucumber by combining it with other ingredients that ease stomach acidity, such as yogurt, cottage cheese, carrots, mint or raw garlic.





5


Make an easy version of Greek cucumber sauce ("tzatziki") from 1 cup of yogurt and half a grated cucumber with salt, pepper and fresh garlic to taste. You can eat this sauce on salads, meats or sandwiches with your meal to prevent acidity.





6


Use sliced or grated cucumber in salads, but don't use too much vinegar in the dressing, as this will cancel out the cucumber's effect on excess acid.








Tips & Warnings










Grocers often wax the outside of cucumbers to seal in freshness. Wrapped in plastic wrap and kept in the crisper, a waxed cucumber will keep for about 10 days to 2 weeks, while unwaxed vegetables will keep for about a week. There is nothing unhealthful about the wax.








Squeeze out and save excess water from grated cucumber and combine it with carrot juice for a liquid heartburn cure.








If you have trouble digesting cucumbers, sprinkle the slices with a thin layer of salt. Let them stand for an hour before you eat them.








Do not use pickles. They are likely to make your stomach acidity worse.








Do not cook cucumbers. They will only be effective if you eat them raw.

How to Wear Ugg Boots

How to Wear Ugg Boots

grocery
store

Step
2



Wear them tucked into jeans. Skinny jeans work best for this look, where you tuck your jeans smoothly into your Ugg boots. Great for keeping your jeans dry and legs warm.




Step
3



Roll up your jeans and wear with a cuff, along with your Uggs. This is similar to tucking your jeans into the Uggs, but the cuff of the rolled-up jean turns it into a whole new look. Versatile and easy, this casual look is great for long walks or lounging around.

4



Uggs and sweats. Whether you wear your Uggs tucked into your sweats or you wear your sweats over your Uggs, this comfy boots are the perfect pair to soft sweat pants.

How to wear Ugg boots appropriately

How to wear Ugg boots appropriately



UGG boots have been around for quite some time, but didn't take off as a fashion statement until recently. How much of a fashion statement they are is debatable, but one thing is for sure--you have to know how to wear them and wear them in a way that looks best on your body type, not on your favorite celebrity.







Things You'll Need:





Pair of UGG boots









Step
1



Get shopping. Pick a pair of UGGs in the color and style that best fits your lifestyle. They come in a slew of styles, from plain and lace-up to knee-highs, clogs and slippers. Depending on what you plan on wearing them for, you can have a whole collection of UGGs.




Step
2



Wearing them with skinny jeans (if you are a female) seems to be the latest craze, but UGGs can be worn with any type of jean. However, contrary to popular opinion, the traditional UGG is not accepted as appropriate office wear, for nice restaurants or as a replacement for couture footwear. UGG footwear were created for comfort as a work shoe and to wear around the house on colder days to keep the feet toasty. It was not created to wear with business suits or nice dresses and looks inappropriate when paired with formal attire.




Step
3



Although women wear UGG boots with shorts and skirts, it really isn't a flattering look, particularly if your legs are heavier. The clunky style of the boot makes your legs look heavier than they are.




Step
4



You shouldn't wear UGGs in wet or muddy conditions. While they are warm, they do not have water-repellent qualities and will instead absorb and hold the moisture. A similar problem is caused when wearing UGGs in warm conditions. Sweat from feet will absorb into the lining of the boot and cause an unpleasant odor.




Step
5



Choose the color of UGGs with care, remember that lighter fabrics tend to look dirty more quickly. Because they are worn outside of pants, you can't hide a dirty UGG.







Tips & Warnings









On the whole, clunky shoes tend to make the legs look heavier, so keep that in mind when considering wearing UGGs with a pair of shorts.








Using a waterproof spray on UGGs will help them last longer. It may turn the fabric a little darker in color and cause the texture to become a little rougher. However, these slight changes are often worth it because it helps the boots last longer.

How to Wear Two Scarves Twisted Together

How to Wear Two Scarves Twisted Together



Wearing scarves is an easy way to add individuality and creativity to your daily office wear. Adding a scarf or two to your outfit also lets you stay warm in the winter. While there are many ways to wear and tie a scarf, one of the most creative is to twist to scarves together.







Things You'll Need:





2 different colored scarves of the same length







Tie a One-Knot Twisted Scarf




Step
1



Hold both scarves by one end, letting them hang down side by side.




Step
2



Make a simple overhand knot while holding both scarves at the same time. This will hold the two scarves together.




Step
3



Twist the two scarves together to make alternating bands of colors. Twist the scarves tighter if you want shorter, more frequent bands of colors, or twist them loosely if you want wider bands.




Step
4



Hang the twisted scarf over one shoulder with the knot about 6 inches from the top of your shoulder. Let the second end of the scarf hang down your back and enjoy the compliments you receive all day.


Tie a Two-Knot Twisted Scarf




Step
1



Add interest to your one-knot twisted scarf by tying a knot in the second end of the scarves. This will keep the 2 scarves together and also give you an alternative way to wear your twisted scarf.




Step
2



Place the twisted scarves over your shoulder with the middle of the scarf at the back of your neck.




Step
3



Drape the scarf symmetrically (with both sides even) or asymmetrically (unevenly) for even more fun with the twisted scarf.

How to Wear Tweed

How to Wear Tweed



Disregard tweed's links to stodgy professors and even more stuffy literary snobs. Tweed can look just as hip and classy as any other blazer in your closet. Follow these simple steps to learn how to comfortably wear tweed with style.









Step
1



Start with accessories that will help tweed's color palate come to the forefront. Choose a neck tie that is darker and bolder than the blazer, use it in conjunction with a simple, striped shirt.




Step
2



Choose tweed in small, subtle increments. Choose to put it on only with a jacket, or for the ladies, a pair of shoes.




Step
3



Pair tweed with contrasting fabric styles. Tweed's inherent rough textures will go nicely with a silk shirt or skirt.




Step
4



Mix tweed with another garment of tweed by using different weave techniques. The easiest way to do this is through the weight of yarn. Heavier yarn garments should be worn on the outside of a lighter yarn piece, such as a blazer and overcoat.




Step
5



Make tweed your "go-to" choice for seasonal changes, like fall and spring. Use tweed jackets to keep you warm, but breathable, while still looking stylish and modern.




Step
6



Decide on an entire suit made of tweed by looking for a modern interpretation on the classic style. Seek out manufacturers who have copped the ends, like the cuffs of the sleeves.




Step
7



Pick one of the many colors tweed contains in its fabric as an accent hue to liven up your outfit. This is a good time to choose an accessory like a belt, tie or scarf.

How to Wear Trendy Clothes

How to Wear Trendy Clothes



What you wear says a lot about who you are and what matters to you. If you want to send a message to the rest of the world that fashion is important to you, you should know how to wear trendy clothes and make them work for your own personal style.







Things You'll Need:





Fashion magazines



Computer with Internet Access



Mini skirt



Boots



Flats



Full tops



Cropped jackets



Dresses









Step
1



Take stock of the trendy pieces you own and love.




Step
2



Understand that these should serve as the centerpiece of your outfit.




Step
3



Select other, more conservative items that will help set them off. For instance, pair a very trendy print mini skirt with a longer classic cardigan, dark tights and pointy toe flats to finish the look. Or wear red equestrian boots with dark skinny pants and a conservative blazer to achieve a nice balance.




Step
4



Realize that one or two trendy pieces can make an outfit stand out, but piling too many different trends will have the opposite effect, making you look silly instead of cutting edge.




Step
5



Call on your basics, such as T-shirts, jeans, turtlenecks and leggings to layer under some of your trendy dresses to give them a new look and make them work in the colder months.




Step
6



Assess the different shapes of your trendy clothes, such as your high-waist pants, flowy tops and fuller cropped jackets and try putting together different combinations to see what stands out and best flatters your figure.







Tips & Warnings









Browse through current fashion magazines and Instyle.com's "look of the day" to find looks you like and try to copy them yourself.








Spice up a more conservative outfit with a trendy pair of shoes or very unusual necklace.








Try to create your own trends by putting unusual colors and textures together.








Realize that not all trends are meant to be worn off of the runway! If you're in doubt about whether you can carry off a trend, ask someone you trust for an honest opinion before you leave the house.
