Article: Depending on how advanced you're willing to take your needle felting, there are many types of needles that will strengthen your practice.  You can create your own needle apparatus so that it is more similar to a writing utensil.  You can also create various types of devices that have multiple needles.  Some devices have as much as four needles in them for those initial compressions. There are plenty of different options online if you do not feel like constructing your own device. There are plenty of different fibers that all function for different purposes. This may be where you look into online suppliers, unless your local craft store carries various types of sheep wool or alpaca. Explore some of these options:  Batting wool is ideal for creating sculptures. Roving wool is similar to batting, but it is better suited for thin shapes like ropes rather than wide sheets. Prefelt wool can be used as a clothing garment to your sculptures, but shouldn't be used as any type of base. For some of your ideas simple compression using your felting needle may not be enough.  In some cases you'll need to use a more traditional string and needle stitching technique to secure your designs. This should only be used if you are concerned with the weight distribution of your design. To create malleable designs sometimes you'll need to use a wire as a support base for the structure. Get creative with different materials that you could form wool around.  For instance, you could use a foam ball as a base.  Doing this could save you time and wool. If you know you are going to make a lot of hearts, then invest in a cookie cutter shaped heart.  It will save you time and effort by having a ready-made outline.  Some craft stores will even have a selection of shapes used for needle felting.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Problem: Article: Essential oils smell amazing in your perfume mist, but they also provide a variety of mental, physical, and emotional health benefits. Cultures all over the world have been using them for thousands of years for these purposes. When choosing essential oils for your perfume mist, give therapeutic edge to the blend by addressing specific physical and mental health issues.  The act of inhaling different essential oils offers a wide range of psychological and physical benefits known as aromatherapy.  Inhalation and topical application of particular essential oils can provide medicinal benefits with additional health, hygiene and beauty advantages. An array of mental and emotional reactions can be triggered through the act of inhaling particular essential oil scents. You can choose a single oil or combine the oils to experience a combination of positive effects. Aromatherapy is a vast subject, but there are some commonly chosen oils for therapeutic uses.  Roman chamomile essential oil has fragrance properties that are soothing and can reduce stress. Clary sage essential oil has fragrance properties that can reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. Neroli essential oil has a rich scent with antidepressant effects. It can also relieve stress. Patchouli essential oil has fragrance properties that can help ease depression. Lavender essential oil has fragrance properties that can promote calmness and relaxation. Lemon essential oil has an uplifting scent that can ease depression and boost energy. The naturally occurring chemicals in essential oils can offer medicinal and healing benefits when applied topically to the skin and when inhaled into the lungs. The range of essential oils with medicinal benefits is wide, but not all of these particular oils make great ingredients for a perfume mist because some of them don’t smell especially pleasant. Luckily, there are plenty of oils that both smell great and provide medicinal value.  Roman chamomile essential oil acts as an antispasmodic and sedative; it also provides anti-inflammatory properties and can ease insomnia/promote sleep. Lavender essential oil can relieve headache and migraine pain. It can be applied topically to soothe minor skin irritations and ease insomnia/promote sleep. Clary sage essential oil can relieve menstrual cramps and labor pain. It’s also considered to be an aphrodisiac. Neroli essential oil has antispasmodic properties and can be helpful during pregnancy/delivery. Neroli can also ease postpartum depression. Patchouli essential oil is soothing to the nervous system and has anti-inflammatory properties. Eucalyptus essential oil provides antibacterial benefits and can soothe muscle aches. Through inhalation, eucalyptus oil can both clear the sinuses and boost the immune system. Because they are so highly concentrated, essential oils can have negative side effects if used improperly. Consult a doctor before using them if you are pregnant, nursing or have immune deficiencies. If you have sensitive skin, always do a skin patch test before using essential oils topically.  Essential oils are far too potent to be applied directly to the skin without diluting them first. Some of them can irritate the skin.  Use the highest grade essential oils that you can find. Check their bottles and packaging for key phrases like “pure grade”, “aromatherapy grade”, “certified organic” and “therapeutic grade.”
Summary: Determine your therapeutic goal(s). Select essential oils for aromatherapy. Opt for essential oils with medicinal purposes. Exercise caution when using essential oils.

Keeping your vaginal area clean can help reduce any burning or itching sensations. Take a daily shower and clean yourself well.  Never use douche. Your vagina contains both beneficial and harmful bacteria, carefully balanced to create an ideal, acidic environment. When you use douche, this balance is disrupted and can lead to an overgrowth of the bad bacteria. This can lead to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis and can push an infection deeper into your body where it can cause more harm.  You do not need any special products, like douche, to clean your vagina. The mucus made by your vagina naturally cleans blood, semen, and vaginal discharge. Simple soap and water should be enough to clean your vagina. After using the toilet, always wipe yourself from front to back. This prevents bacteria from fecal matter from getting in your vagina. Avoid using scented tampons, pads, powders, and sprays. In addition, consider using natural or fragrance-free detergents to launder your clothes. Tampons or sanitary pads can cause irritation of the vagina or vulva, which may lead to burning. Tampons can irritate the inside of your vagina, while sanitary pads and menstrual blood can irritate your vulva. If you use tampons and believe this may be the cause of your burning, start using sanitary pads instead. If you use sanitary pads, try switching to tampons. If you are itching, switch to 100% cotton underwear, which is breathable and may reduce itching. Try to avoid wearing other fabrics, like lace, satin, polyester, or some other fabric that doesn’t breathe. Also change your underwear every day. Avoid wearing tight underwear and tight pants. A simple approach to help reduce vaginal burning is using a cold compress. A cold compress or ice pack can help sooth inflamed and irritated skin.  Soak a cotton washcloth in cold water. Apply to the vulva or vaginal area for about five minutes as often as needed. Add a few ice cubes inside the washcloth before you apply it to the area. Milk is often used to soothe minor burns. It is also a common treatment for relief of dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Try using a milk compress against your vagina to help reduce the burning.  Soak a cotton washcloth in cold milk and apply to the vulva or vaginal area for about five minutes as often as needed. You can also use kefir, a fermented milk rich in probiotics, in place of the milk.
