...so, what happened to that essential oil recipe? Please, write it down... I’m also curious about the ivy water; how do you apply it? Like gauze compresses? And you mentioned: the water is used after the massage and then throw away the leaves—after the massage?!... So, first I massage with a coarse glove, and then apply this? And how long should the massage last? Also, Anastasia asked how often you apply it? Thanks for the answers.........
Let's take this step by step
1/2 cup carrier oil (Olive, almond, paraffin, or baby oil) 5 drops orange oil 5 drops rosemary oil 5 drops Melissa oil 5 drops mint oil 1 teaspoon ginger powder
Mix the ingredients and store them in a dark glass bottle.
Do not prepare large batches.
Massage twice daily, moving from the feet upward.
Regarding the brush method, I do all of that once a day, in the evening... unfortunately, I don't have the time to do it more often. I massage for about fifteen minutes, and lately, I've started massaging my upper arms too—though I'm wary of that relaxation effect.
I soak a towel with the ivy water and hold it on like a compress for as long as I can. Honestly, I skip the "water" part quite often because it's a bit impractical.
She’s doing a beautiful job; I’d love to pick her brain and swap some tips.
And look, soap doesn't just "sit there" for weeks—it's a chemical necessity. You need that time for the caustic soda to fully react, otherwise, you're left with a bar that's way too alkaline to actually use.
It doesn't matter; you can develop an allergy to cats even if you've lived with them your whole life... it just happens out of nowhere. It happened to me with my dog.
If it’s triggered by cats, it’ll probably just clear up on its own... much like if it were caused by some "convenient" brand of pet food.😉
As long as there aren't any respiratory issues, it isn't exactly a major crisis; urticaria can flare up over just about anything.🙄
Mix one teaspoon of baking soda into some water and wipe the skin down; it'll soothe the itching without messing up the visual, and still have a doctor take a look at it.
Otherwise, try some Inache prometazin cream, but a doctor really should check it out first.
Best of luck, and maybe watch what you eat for a few days.😉
Brian Hayes26 said:Hello... I wasn't talking about women specifically, I meant grandmas—and yes, I’m looking at you, Kenneth Hernandez67 (regardless of how well he can handle himself, he’s still an old lady 🙂). Look, older folks usually struggle with high blood pressure, and if that's the case, you might as well forget all about Ephedrine (especially when you mix it with caffeine).
You seriously need some basic medical literacy.
If you actually had any, even just the kind you get from the National Health Service, you'd know that 95% of grandmas—including Kenneth Hernandez67 😉—actually deal with LOW BLOOD PRESSURE.
My grandmother told me about this, and she raised eight kids and breastfed every single one of them.
(And yes, I’ve actually seen her breasts firsthand!!!)
Take two parsley shakes (just the leaves!) and toss them into 2 liters of boiling water. Take it off the heat, cover it up, and let it steep for 15 minutes before straining.
If you can't find fresh parsley, you can just use the dried stuff—use 2 large tablespoons and let it sit for half an hour before straining.
Apply a compress to your breasts once a day for about thirty minutes, then splash them with the liquid every morning and night.
Birth control pills are reliable starting from month one, provided you kick things off on the very first day of your period.
If your circumstances are different—say, after childbirth, an abortion, or dealing with hormonal imbalances—you need to use backup protection for those initial two weeks.
Do you actually bother reading that folded instruction sheet tucked inside the pill pack, keeping it neatly organized in the box?
Or am I the only one who just relies on what’s printed on the packaging?
I won't even bother watching this movie... Salma Hayek is just too superficial of an actress to portray such a complex woman, judging by her other roles.
Besides, I have no interest in sitting through commercialized biopics about people I actually respect. It always ends in disappointment.
