How to get rid of skin tags

How to get rid of skin tags



Skin tags are a like a mole that appear overnight in the last place you want one like your neck where everyone can see it. Apparently they come with age -oh gee terrific! Two of them popped up on my neck overnight! People commented "Oh what's that?"
So I tried putting a spot of Apple Cider Vinegar on them whenever I thought about it preferably at night and whenever I was home 3-4 times a day. In 2 weeks they turned black, crumbled and fell off! That's it!

The Dr. had said she could tie them off with a thread which would make them bleed and that it would hurt! but they would eventually fall off!

The Apple Cider Vinegar didn't hurt well stung a little for a moment that was all.

Why Apple Cider Vinegar I don't know it was just an idea that crossed my mind.One of them was on the front of my neck and it was like embedded in and really hard and the other was sort of like a floppy looking wart on the side of my neck but the Vinegar worked on both.







Things You'll Need:





Apple Cider Vinegar




Cotton balls









1


Pour some Apple Cider Vinegar onto a cotton ball. Do this in the sink so you don't get the Vinegar on anything else.





2


Dab it on the skin tag and hold it in place for a moment.





3


Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Do not use on a skin tag around the eye area.








Tips & Warnings










Don't put the Apple Cider Vinegar on a skin tag anywhere near your eye.








If you have one there see the Dr.

How to Use a Chinese Conceiving Calendar

How to Use a Chinese Conceiving Calendar



The Chinese conceiving calendar can be used as a gender predictor by pregnant women who want to predict their baby's gender or those who are trying to conceive a certain gender. The calendar uses the age of the mother at conception and the month that conception occurred in order to predict the gender.









1


Determine how old you were at the time of conception or how old you are now, if you're trying to conceive. Look down the left hand side of the calendar, until you find the correct age.





2


Establish what month you conceived or what month you are planning to conceive. Look across the top of the chart until you find the correct month.





3


Find out where these two meet. If they meet on a pink square, you are having a girl. If they meet on a blue square you are having a boy. This chart is said to be over 90 percent accurate.








Tips & Warnings










The conception ages for this calendar are 18- to 45 years old. This calendar is not intended for those under 18 or older than 45, who have or are trying to conceive.








If you are trying for a certain gender, find your age and then determine which months would be best to try for a boy or which months would be best to try for a girl. Schedule your "baby making" for those times. You may have to plan very carefully, if you ovulate on the first or last few days of the month.

How to Understand Spiritual Truths

How to Understand Spiritual Truths



Ah, the great question of "What are spiritual truths?" Questions like this one take much thought and meditation to get an answer. Fortunately signposts and writings from throughout the centuries are available to guide you through the questioning process.









1


Begin living a more healthy life. This will help you be more sensitive to what is true. Cut back on TV and junk food, and drink lots of water from a natural spring that is rated well for purity.





2


Exercise. Be positive. Read good books. Keep good company. These are foundational steps that will prepare you to recognize the answer to the spiritual questions you are asking.





3


Pick up a few books about spiritual health. Look up things that interest or inspire you about constructive and positive ways of thinking, as being spiritual means being sensitive to the spirit or "inner being." It also means exhibiting reverence and a certain sense of sacredness.





4


Read and study to gain a broader view of all the different ideas about the great truths.Think about the Ten Commandments, the Noble Truths, and the Golden Rule. Look up the great spiritual tomes. Read stories and parables from the Dhammapada (Buddhism), the Bible (Christianity), and the Bhagavad Gita (Hinduism). Be mindful of who and what you really admire in people past and present. Is it the kindness of the Dalai Lama, the selflessness of Mother Teresa, or the wisdom of great leaders like Abraham Lincoln?





5


Know that there are as many answers to this question as there are people asking it. Be level headed and practical. Try on a few different "philosophies" to see how they fit or if you like them.





6


Be well-read, knowledgeable and sensitive. Listen to your conscience and develop a capacity to show kindness. These things will only help you understand the deep and meritorious truths of life. To see and recognize an attribute, whatever it may be, you need to have something of it inside of yourself. Your understanding may go through many levels and stages in your life, so the sooner you start, the greater the opportunity for deeper understanding.

How to Treat Warts With Banana Peel

How to Treat Warts With Banana Peel



Warts are stubborn, embarrassing and sometimes even painful. There are many commercial treatments available to treat warts, ranging from home cryotherapy kits to salicylic acid. These treatments are expensive and some make the wart appear even uglier and more conspicuous than the untreated wart. Forgo expensive traditional remedies and use the most gentle and inexpensive home remedy available, the banana peel.







Things You'll Need:





Unripe bananas




Adhesive bandages




Emery board




Nail trimmers









1


Use fresh banana peel pieces each day on the affected areas. Some people recommend freezing chunks of banana peel and thawing pieces as needed to avoid going through so many bananas, but fresh peel has a higher efficacy.





2


Cut a fresh square inch-sized piece of banana peel. Use bananas that are just turning from green to yellow, as the active healing compounds degrade with age. Wash the affected area with soap and warm water.





3


Prepare the wart by soaking it in warm water to soften the rough surface. You can also abrade the surface with an emery board to disrupt the surface of the wart.





4


Secure the inner side of the peel to the wart with an adhesive bandage. Leave the bandaged peel in place for at least eight hours overnight.





5


Wash the treated area with soap and warm water in the morning. Allow the wart to air dry, and then apply a clean bandage to the wart during the day. Change the bandage whenever it gets wet, as the virus that causes warts thrives in moist environments.





6


Remove the black and brown parts of the damaged wart daily with nail trimmers. You must expose the fresh, undamaged wart root to the peel to enhance the treatment. You should begin to see progress after 3 days of treatment. Most warts disappear after 14 days.

How to Take Kava Kava for Health

How to Take Kava Kava for Health



Kava kava (Piper methysticum) is a tall shrub that grows on western Pacific Islands and has been cultivated since ancient times. It is believed to have originated from Melanesia and the dried roots are used medicinally. The following steps will help you decide whether or not to take this herbal supplement.









1


Read up on the historical uses of kava kava. It has been used for thousands years as a ceremonial drink and for its sedative effect.





2


Look at the results from modern scientific testing of kava kava. Its sedative effect is well-established and it had long been considered relatively safe and non-addictive. However, concerns were raised about its toxicity because of some liver-related deaths of kava users in 2001.





3


Consider that kava kava has been banned in France, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The Center for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration both expressed reservations about its use in 2002.





4


Study the side effects of kava kava. If you appear to be suffering from liver damage, you should seek immediate medical attention. Kava should not be taken recreationally or if you are taking medication that affects the liver.





5


Take no more than the recommended dosage. Kava supplements should be standardized to 30 to 70 percent kavalactones. Capsules contain 150 to 300 mg and may be taken one to three times per day as needed for anxiety. Kava kava should not be taken continuously for more than three months.

How to Repair Jump Rings on Jewelry

How to Repair Jump Rings on Jewelry



Jump rings hold pendants to chains or attach the pieces of a clasp to the ends of a necklace or bracelet. When these jump rings fail, your precious

jewelry


is in danger of becoming junk.







Things You'll Need:





Jump ring



Two pair of needle-nosed pliers









Step
1



Identify the ring type. A jump ring is a simple circle or oval with a cut on one side. Jump rings are easy to replace. A soldered ring has no cut in the side (it has been soldered closed), and a split ring is shaped like a key-chain ring.




Step
2



Purchase a replacement ring. Jump rings are commonly available in craft stores. Look in the beading and jewelry-making section. Choose a style that will coordinate with your jewelry.




Step
3



Remove the old jump ring if it is still in place. Be sure not to damage the remaining chain, clasp or pendant.




Step
4



Prepare your tools. Jump rings need to be held while you work with them, but metal tools can scratch the ring and the jewelry. The solution is covering the ends of your pliers with a layer of duct tape, which prevents scratching.




Step
5



Open the new jump ring. Twist the cut ends of the ring away from each other to create a gap. Try not to open the ring by spreading it apart directly. If you spread the ring, you ruin the shape and weaken the material.




Step
6



Attach the new jump ring. Hold the jewelry with one set of pliers and use the other set to twist the ring closed again.







Tips & Warnings









If your jewelry is attached with a soldered ring, you can snip the ring with wire cutters, creating a split jump ring.








For connecting jewelry pieces that need extra strength, consider using a split ring (a key-chain style ring). The extra overlapping wire gives the split ring more strength.








Never use a jump ring to connect string or beading wire, as the thin material will slide right through the cut in the jump ring.
