Article: In the late summer, when it's time to harvest the hops, examine the cones on the bines to see if they are mature. Hop cones are ripe when they're dry, papery, aromatic, springy, and filled with yellow lupulin powder. Test one by cracking it open to see if it is ripe.  Hop cones that are heavy and green aren't ready yet. Be patient; your hops might not ripen until early fall. First year plants may not yield a lot; they hit their peak during the second year.  Harvesting times may vary by regional climate. Until you're ready to use them, hops should be stored in airtight food storage bags in the refrigerator. If you won't be using them for awhile, you can freeze them. Properly stored hops will stay fresh for about a year.

Examine the cones for ripeness in late summer. Store the hops in zip close baggies in your fridge.

Problem: Article: Regardless of the remedy you are using, always wash and dry your hands before and after touching a wart. You should limit the area of normal skin treated by any of the over-the-counter methods. These methods generally work within a few days.  If your wart is not smaller or has not changed in appearance after 6-7 days, check with your healthcare professional. You may need another, stronger approach. Salicylic acid acts by breaking up and killing the cells infected by HPV. Instead of attacking normal cells as well, the acid leaves the normal cells alone. Buy Salicylic acid, such as Compound W or Dr. Scholl's Clear Away, at your local drugstore as a patch or a liquid. Wash the area well and dry it. Apply the patch or liquid as directed. Repeat daily until the wart is gone. This can take 2-3 months.  Avoid getting the medicine on any other portion of your skin. To help the acid work better, soak and file down your wart so the medicine can soak deeper into your skin. You can get a stronger concentration of Salicylic acid by prescription. Over-the-counter freezing medicines use dimethyl ether and propane to freeze the skin of the wart. The medicine essentially freezes the wart and kills the skin, causing it to fall off. Freezing medicines, such as Compound W's Freeze Off or Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away, can be purchased at your local drugstore. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. They can take up to 2 months to work. Keep the medicine away from any open flame. The FDA warns that these medicines may be flammable. A recent study has suggested that the freezing method may be more effective in getting rid of warts within 2 months. The duct tape method, also known as tape occlusion, is a tried and true home remedy that many people swear by. It is not known how the duct tape works. Some say that the adhesive has a substance that breaks down the skin cells and are then pulled off by the physical action of tape removal. For this method, buy silver duct tape and apply a small piece of the duct tape to the wart. Leave the tape on the wart for 6-7 days. Remove the tape and soak the wart in water. Use a disposable emery board to “file away” the wart.  Leave the wart uncovered overnight or up to 24 hours. Reapply the duct tape for 6-7 days. Repeat the process as often as necessary for up to 2 months. You can apply onion or garlic juice on the wart before putting on the duct tape. In one study, duct tape actually worked better that freezing the warts off.
Summary: Prepare your skin. Use Salicylic acid. Try to freeze the wart. Try the duct tape method.

If you have a private backyard or a nude beach nearby, let your buns soak up a little sun on a warm day. The sun naturally helps dry up excess oil. Make sure you are using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30, though, to protect your skin from the UV radiation.  Make sure to apply a non-comedogenic sunscreen beforehand to avoid sunburn. Only use this method once in a while, and only after the acne heals. Too much sun exposure may actually cause acne to darken or get worse. Some acne medication may cause sensitivity to the sun. Talk to your doctor if you are currently using any prescription or over-the-counter treatments. Crush up four or five aspirin pills. Make sure there is no coating on the outside of the pills. Combine with one tablespoon lukewarm water and either a dollop of honey or plain yogurt, depending on your preference.  Apply a thin layer over the entire surface of your buttocks. Allow the mask to dry before rinsing it off. Follow the treatment up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent further irritation. Do not try this treatment if you are allergic to aspirin. Always talk to your doctor before you use aspirin on a child or teenager's skin, as aspirin may be linked to Reye's syndrome in those age groups. Fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar diluted in water can be used to treat pimples. If your pimples have open sores, however, this can be painful. Leave on for about 5-10 minutes and rinse it off thoroughly with cool water and a gentle body wash.  Be very careful with this treatment. A small amount of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar diluted in water can help dry out a zit. Applying an acid straight to your pimples, though, can be drying and may actually cause more acne. Add a few drops of honey to your diluted solution for its antibacterial and soothing effects. Tea tree and coconut oil are great antibacterial and antifungal oils that can be rubbed on the problem areas to help heal acne. Though this won't directly help heal your pimples, it will cause immediate relief from painful pimples. To make a homemade ice pack, wrap a handful of ice in a washcloth and apply it to the pimple or inflamed area for 15-20 minutes. You can also use a commercial ice pack. Just be sure there is a cloth barrier between the pack and your skin to prevent damage from the cold.
