Summarize the following:
The older growth should go toward the bottom of the pot, with the newer growth toward the sides, where it will have more room to spread out. The top part of the root mass should be at the same level it was in the previous pot. That means the new shoot should be above the surface of the pot, with most of the roots below the surface. Pour some in around the roots. Shake the pot and tap on the side of the pot to help the potting material settle lightly packed around the root coils. If you do use your fingers, press gently so that the live roots are not damaged. Make sure there are no big air pockets. If parts of the roots are left uncovered, they won't grow properly.   It helps to pour in just a little potting mix at a time. Work that around the roots with your fingers, then pour in more mix and keep going. Continue pressing in the mix until it's level with the top of the pot. Stake the plant upright or clip it to the side of the pot so it does not fall over or grow crookedly. Place your orchid in a temperate spot with partial shade. Water it sparingly or according to the needs of your particular orchid.

summary: Place the orchid in its new pot. Press the potting mix into the pot. Make sure the plant is able to stand upright when you're finished. Continue  caring for your orchid as before.

It sounds messy, and it IS messy. But inserting yogurt into your vagina is a way of re-populating the vagina with harmless bacteria that may be able to “crowd out” the parasite. However, there are no scientific studies that indicate this. , , ,   Use plain yogurt and a 10 mL syringe (you can buy this syringe at your local pharmacy). Every night, fill the syringe with the plain yogurt and fill your vagina by inserting the syringe and depressing the plunger. Go to bed as usual, but wear a sanitary pad. The messiness comes in the morning when you get out of bed.  You should also wear a thin pad during the day. Repeat every night until the symptoms disappear. You can also use a tampon coated with yogurt, but tampons without the applicator can be difficult and uncomfortable to insert. A probiotic will help replenish good bacteria in your body. , ,   Probiotic capsules can be expensive and can be found in most groceries and drugstores. Use gelcap suppositories, since hard suppositories may not be as effective. Buy a brand that has Bifidobacterium longum; Lactobacillus rhamnosus; Bifidobacterium infantis; Lactobacillus acidophilus; or Lactobacillus reuteri HA-188. There is not a lot of evidence showing if probiotics as a supplement or in yogurt are helpful in preventing trichomoniasis. Use Curasept periodontal gel and apply in and around the vagina.  Curasept contains 0.5% cyclohexadiene, a disinfectant which has been shown to be effective in treating BV. A whole clove of peeled garlic can be inserted into the vagina and has been reported to be helpful in treating BV. . This is because the garlic contains allicin, which is a natural antibiotic that fights BV. Peel a clove of garlic. Poke some holes in the garlic so that the allicin can be released. Insert the clove into your vagina. Replace the garlic every four hours for seven days or until symptoms have disappeared. Boric acid can be irritating, so you shouldn’t make your own suppository. Do not directly apply it to the vagina. Look for Vitanica Yeast Arrest, found in many health food stores. This product is specially formulated for vaginal yeast infections.  Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage. You must not be the recipient of oral sex while using boric acid because boric acid is poisonous to your partner.

summary: Try plain yogurt. Replenish good bacteria with a probiotic suppository. Use periodontal gel. Try a clove of garlic. Treat a yeast infection with a boric acid suppository.

Keeping your emotions bottled up can make your condition worse, rather than making them simply go away. Because of this, it is important to talk to someone about what you are going through. Talking to someone else can also help you to see your emotions from an objective standpoint. Take the time to talk to:  Your spouse. It is important to let your partner know what you are going through so that he/she can help you to the best of their ability. A family member who has gone through childbirth. A friend who you feel comfortable talking to and know you won't be judged by. A therapist. If you feel like talking to family or friends hasn't brought you the comfort you need, set up an appointment with a therapist. If you don't know what therapist to go to, ask your doctor for a recommendation. Keeping an emotion journal can help you to see that your emotions are fleeting, rather than permanent. When you begin to feel anxiety, sadness, anger, or some other emotion, write down the emotion and the details that go along with it. By doing this, you will be able to keep track of what triggers your anxiety or depression, and will help you to think about how you would like to handle these emotions in the future. In particular, write down:  Write down what emotion you were feeling. Rate the intensity of your emotion from 0% to 100%. Write down what caused the emotion. Keep track of your response to the emotion. Consider what response you would like to have in the future. Sometimes being around women who are experiencing the same things as you can be an eye opening experience that can give you insights into your own condition. As support groups, women who have had, or presently have, postpartum depression and anxiety can share what they are going through with women that have experienced the same thing. Talk to your doctor about support groups in your area. Taking some 'me' time to focus on activities that you enjoy can provide a much needed break from your negative thoughts or feelings. Doing something relaxing outside of your home and take the time to think about your emotions, your life, and your health. Consider the things you are grateful for. Do activities that will leave you feeling accomplished, like going on a hike or planting some flowers. Keep this accomplishment in your thoughts if you begin to feel depressed or anxious again later. Keeping yourself from your baby, partner, friends, and family may seem like all you want to do, but you must overcome these feelings. Isolating yourself will only make your condition worse, while also deteriorating your physical health. Instead some quality time one-on-one with your baby, your partner, and close friends or family. Taking the time to really engage with someone else can help you to start feeling more like yourself. While your depression and anxiety might make you feel like you are not the best mother, you have to overcome these thoughts. Remind yourself that you created a beautiful baby whom you love and want to give the world to.  Leave sticky notes on your bathroom mirror or near your bed where you will be reminded that you are a great mother. Take moments where you could think negatively, like if you have to go to your baby because he has woken up in the middle of the night, and instead think, “I am a great mom to be here holding my baby at 2 a.m., singing him a lullaby”.
summary: Express your emotions to someone you trust. Keep an emotion journal. Join a support group. Take time to do the things that you enjoy and make you happy. Try not to isolate yourself. Try to recognize that you are a great mother.
