How to Dissolve Warts

How to Dissolve Warts



Warts are small growths that can appear anyplace on the body, but usually grow on the hands and feet. There are many methods to remove warts: Sometimes it's best to seek medical treatment or even try over-the-counter treatment, but there are a number of folk remedy cures you might try first if the wart is not severe.







Things You'll Need:





Duct tape




Apple cider vinegar




Glycerin




Bananas




Milk weed or dandelions




Garlic cloves









1


Use apple cider vinegar to dissolve the warts. Mix an equal amount of vinegar and glycerin in a small container. Apply this solution daily to the area around the wart. When the wart is completely dissolved, discontinue use.





2


Apply duct tape over the wart, or the area affected by warts. Leave this tape on for a week and remove. Check to make certain that the warts are gone. If not, apply a new piece.





3


Bruise garlic and tape it to the affected area. Leave the garlic on for one week. Check and reapply if necessary.





4


Cut a piece of banana skin somewhat larger than the wart. Place it on the wart and secure with duct tape or a bandage. Check the area every other day and change the banana skin regularly until the wart is gone.





5


Find a milkweed plant or a dandelion. Plop off the head of the flower to get the sap from the stem. Use the sap from either plant and apply it directly to the wart daily until the wart disappears.

How to Discuss Ayurvedic Treatment With a Doctor

How to Discuss Ayurvedic Treatment With a Doctor



Ayurvedic medicine is based on the traditional medicine practiced in India. It is estimated that a large percentage of people in India still use Ayurvedic medicine to treat their medical conditions. If you have been diagnosed with a medical problem, you may wish to discuss getting Ayurvedic treatments with a doctor.









1


Speak to your regular doctor first before seeking out Ayurvedic treatments. You may be advised to stick with traditional Western medical practices.





2


Find an Ayurvedic practitioner in your area. The National Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine is an organization that can help you locate a doctor in your area.

Discuss your aims with the practioner. Ayurvedic medicine involves the use of diet and herbs to restore the body's balance. Ayurvedic treatments cleanse the body of substances that cause disease.





4


Get an overview of the beliefs of Ayurvedic medicine. Components include the need for balance, the body's desire for harmony with the universe and wellness achieved through exposure to a wholesome environment.





5


Ask the Ayurvedic professional about your dosha balance. The three doshas are the vata, pitta and kapha. The doshas control the activities that take place in the body.





6


See what treatment options are offered. Your treatment may include exercise, diet changes and the use of medicinal oils.








Tips & Warnings










When you first talk to an Ayurvedic practitioner, ask what type of training he has gone through.

How to Detoxify in Seven Stages

How to Detoxify in Seven Stages



Our bodies are under attack every day by toxins due to the environment, stress, unhealthy diets, careers and many other outside sources beyond our control. The effects of these toxins compile, causing a myriad of ailments and other more serious conditions. Regular detoxification can help rid your body of these harmful toxins. Detoxing can be done in 7 stages.









1


Drink only liquids in the first stage of detoxifying. Drink fresh vegetable or fruit juice, herbal teas or vegetable broth.





2


Add fruit to your liquid diet. These alkaline foods help neutralize the acidic waste during detox. Apples, pineapples, mangoes, grapes and watermelon are the best and will act as a natural laxative.





3


Add raw vegetables. Try raw garlic, fennel, watercress, dandelion leaves and parsley. Try adding these to raw veggie salads.





4


Eat cooked vegetables and brown rice (which is easily digested). Cooking the veggies for a short time with a small amount of water will help them maintain as much of their nutrition as possible. Try leafy greens, leeks, globe and Jerusalem artichokes and beetroot.





5


Try beans, lentils, raw nuts and seeds. These are great sources of protein, but they shouldn't be mixed with the starchy rice (it slows digestion to mix protein and starch).





6


Add whole grains and yogurt with live cultures. Whole grains, such as rye, buckwheat, barley and oats are great sources of fiber and minerals. Avoid wheat while you're detoxing.





7


Begin eating fish. The essential fatty acids in cold-water fish will help with your complexion. At this stage, you can gradually start adding in the foods you had omitted during your detox diet, adding dairy and meat gradually, since they are more difficult to digest.








Tips & Warnings










Goat or Sheep's yogurt is easier to digest than cow's yogurt.








Buy organic foods when possible.








Drink plenty of water to help flush your system.








Introduce solid foods gradually.








Consult your physician before beginning this detox diet. Especially if you have any health issues.








Don't try this diet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.








If you are on any long-term medications, consult your doctor.

How to Detox From Aspartame

How to Detox From Aspartame



Aspartame is a dangerous sugar substitute added to diet foods. Using it over time can cause side effects such as headache, diarrhea, dizziness, anxiety and depression along with many others. Aspartame poisoning can mimic many other diseases. Follow these steps to detox from aspartame poisoning.









1


Eliminate aspartame from your diet. It causes a toxic buildup of formaldehyde and DKP in the body.





2


Consult a doctor or nutritionist for help in your detoxification plan. If you are experiencing serious symptoms, a doctor's advice is crucial.





3


Eat cruciferous vegetables. These vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussels sprouts.





4


Take dandelion and milk thistle during the detox process. Ask your health food store clerk or an herbalist for proper dosages.





5


Ingest golden seal and echinacea to boost your immune system. Echinacea is popular for protection against colds.





6


Add a magnesium gluconate supplement to your diet. It helps prevent cell damage from excitotoxins as well as strokes and heart attacks.





7


Wait 60 days and see if your symptoms improve. If they don't, you may need to eliminate other toxins from your body, but you should consult your doctor first.








Tips & Warnings










It's best to eliminate all excitotoxins from your diet, such as monosodium glutamate(MSG), hydrolyzed protein, yeast extract, autolyzed yeast, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and cysteine supplements.








Alternative medicine doctors such as holistic practitioners, chiropractors, osteopaths, and Oriental medicine doctors are often the most knowledgeable about aspartame poisoning.








To find sweeteners which are safer than aspartame, look for a healthier sweetener resource list on the Internet.








Be sure to take a good quality vitamin/mineral supplement during the detox process.








Don't try to eliminate caffeine from your diet at the same time as aspartame. They both can be very addicting which would make any withdrawal symptoms worse.

How to Daydream

How to Daydream



Daydreaming is a great way to escape from the stresses of everyday life. Even though daydreams are often impossible and silly, they can help you relax and let your mind wander free. If you'd like to learn how to daydream effectively, just follow these steps.









1


Find a quiet, comfortable place where you can be alone. Try a cozy chair in a quiet room of your house or close the door to your bedroom and lay down on the bed. Make yourself as physically comfortable as possible.





2


Remove all distractions. No cell phone, MP3 player, radio or television allowed. Let your friends and family know that they are not to disturb you. If you can't escape noise, try using some earplugs.





3


Give yourself time to wind down and relax before you begin daydreaming. Take some deep breaths, and slowly relax the muscles in your body.





4


Close your eyes and clear your mind. We're constantly bombarded with thoughts about our hectic schedules, projects at work, problems at home and more. Every time such a thought pops into your head, force it out. This can be quite challenging, so be persistent.





5


Choose a situation for your daydream. Don't limit yourself. Remember, the point of daydreaming is to get away and imagine things that may not be possible in real life. No situation is impractical or too ridiculous.





6


Let the situation unfold in your mind, just like a regular dream or a movie. After awhile, your thoughts will effortlessly turn the situation into a story.

How to Make Clothes Look Vintage

How to Make Clothes Look Vintage



Major American retailers make millions of dollar each year offering lines of "new" clothing, like t-shirts and jeans, that are "distressed" for a vintage look. Garments that look worn, lend an air of comfort and ease, which is why they're so popular.









Step
1



Use medium grit (80 to 120) sandpaper to distress fabrics. Lay the item on a flat work surface. Slide a cutting board behind the area to be distressed.




Step
2



Sand along the front of a color cotton t-shirt where the collar meets the body of the shirt. Use the sand paper to scuff over the area of the breast pocket and along the waistline where a belt buckle rubs the fabric.




Step
3



Wash and dry new jeans before distressing them. Use the sandpaper across the seat of the jean, along the edge of the front pockets and at the knees. Use varying pressure with the sandpaper to wear some areas thinner than others.




Step
4



Take a single-edged razor blade and make a shallow cut just below the area of the knee of the jeans. Put the jeans on and squat down to tear through the cuts. Wash the jeans to fray the tears.




Step
5



Scuff up the collar and cuffs of long-sleeved shirts. Sand each of the buttons a little bit to give them an aged look.




Step
6



Add shoulder pads to a thrift shop sport coat to give it a retro look. Cuff the sleeves back over themselves twice to show off a silk lining. Replace the button with large, four-hole buttons or, for women, shank buttons with filigree trim.







Tips & Warnings









Chlorine bleach fades color but also weakens fibers.
