Wear thick gloves, such as gardening gloves, the entire time to protect your hands. For added protection, wear long-sleeved clothing as well. You will need urea, ludigol, and water softener to make chemical water. Buy these products at a hardware store or online. To make the chemical water, add a quart of warm water to a bucket. From there, add three fourths a cup of urea, two teaspoons of ludigol, and one teaspoon of water softener. If you need more dye, expand the recipe as needed. You will need three fourths a cup of urea, two teaspoons of ludigol, and a teaspoon of water softener per quart of water. Remove your chemical water from the bucket where you mixed it. Store the dye in bottles, smaller buckets, or cups. You will then add your chosen colors of dye to these containers to add color to the chemical water.  There is no precise amount of dye to add. It depends on how dark you want your colors. More dye will yield darker colors and less dye will make pastel shades. For example, add three cups of red dye for a dark red while one cup should make a lighter shade. The color that shows up on the fabric should be similar to the dye's color.
Summary: Wear gloves and goggles. Prepare your chemical water. Add the dyes.

Problem: Article: You can buy cotton balls in just about any grocery store or pharmacy. They're available in large and small sizes. Buy small cotton balls for small scabs and large cotton balls for large scabs. If you have an eye dropper, use two to three drops. If not, place the cotton ball on the opening of the bottle. Turn the bottle upside down for a second to wet the cotton ball. Replace the cap to avoid spilling the oil. Do this after you've cleaned the affected area. Lightly touch the wet cotton ball to your scabs. To avoid breaking the crust of the scab, don't apply pressure. Allow the tea tree oil to dry on your face. Do this twice a day.
Summary: Purchase cotton balls. Apply tea tree oil to the cotton ball. Dab the oil on your scabs.

Problem: Article: first. If you're currently taking sleeping medication and it's playing havoc with your sleep and general health and wellbeing, you should notify your doctor and explain what is happening. Your doctor will be able to advise you as to whether or not you can quit the pills outright or whether there needs to be an adjustment period.  Don't presume you're stuck taking pills. Be adamant that you wish to minimize or stop using the sleeping medication altogether and make your doctor your ally in achieving this outcome. Discuss lifestyle changes that can help improve your sleep. You may wish it ask about weaker sedatives or natural alternatives such as the natural sedative valerian tea, or melatonin supplements, but keep in mind these can interact with other medications, and you should speak with your doctor before use. Don't throw the pills away just yet; they are insurance to prevent you from panicking and they are still available for those terrible nights when you really do feel like you need them. At the same time, you need to commit to giving them up permanently as carefully and as thoroughly as possible. If your doctor has suggested a gradual withdrawal program, stick with it. This will greatly increase your chances of success, as quitting sleeping medication too suddenly can throw your body totally out of balance. Some people need more sleep while others need less hours of sleep in order to function optimally; know your own needs and nurture them. Also be sure to implement the remaining suggestions in the following steps; each is a practical means by which you gain control back over your sleeping routine and, in turn, make your plan more likely to succeed. Depending on the type of sleep medication, withdrawal symptoms can occur. You may feel anxious, edgy, irritable, and depressed, and you may find yourself sweating, experiencing tremors, and increased heart rate, and nausea.  You may experience "rebound insomnia," which means you may experience great difficulty falling asleep after you come off the sleeping medication — possibly worse than what caused you to start taking sleeping pills in the first place. Rebound insomnia often causes people to relapse and start taking sleeping meds again, but you must remember that is it temporary, and side effects should go away after about two weeks. Speak with your doctor about how to handle rebound insomnia, or if you are experiencing depression or anxiety that lasts several weeks or months after you stop.  You may also experience vivid, strange, and disturbing dreams. Again, this is a normal part of withdrawal and it will go away. Implementing self relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation can assist you in getting through this time. Remember that this is temporary.
Summary: Speak to your doctor Make a plan to stop taking the sleeping medication. Believe in your own ability to sleep naturally and accept your own sleep needs. Know what to expect.

Problem: Article: It’s easy to lose track of what your body is telling you and get into the habit of eating when you’re not really hungry. If you want to eat something, stop and ask yourself how you’re feeling. Are you actually hungry, or do you just want to eat because you’re stressed, bored, or craving a particular flavor? If you’re hungry, grab a snack. If not, find a way to distract yourself until the urge passes.  Pay attention to cues such as hunger pains, a growling stomach, or lightheadedness and irritability. If you’re not sure whether you’re really hungry, try drinking a glass of water. It can be easy to confuse feelings of hunger and thirst. When you eat, take your time and be mindful of how you are feeling. Stop eating when you feel satisfied, before you feel uncomfortably full. When you have a plate full of food in front of you, it’s hard to resist the urge to polish it off—even if it’s way too much! One good way to avoid overeating is to put smaller portions on your plate. At every meal, try to stick to about 1 cup (240 mL) of carbs (such as pasta, rice, or cereal) and the same amount or more of fruits and vegetables. Keep servings of meat no bigger than the palm of your hand.  A 1 cup (240 mL) serving of food is about the size of your clenched fist. You can also try dividing your plate into equal quarters. Fill 1 quarter with a whole grain (such as whole wheat pasta or brown rice), 1 quarter with a lean protein (such as fish, poultry breast, or tofu), and the other 2 quarters with vegetables. If those portions seem small, try eating your meals on a smaller plate. If your plate is filled up, it can trick your brain into thinking you’re eating more food. When you’re trying to lose weight, you may be tempted to skip eating altogether sometimes. However, doing this can often backfire, because you’ll be hungrier and more likely to overeat at your next meal. Try to eat at 3 healthy, satisfying meals each day. It’s especially important to eat a good breakfast, since this will energize you and prevent you from getting too hungry later in the day. To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you eat each day. Keep a food journal to help you count how many calories you’re eating in an average day. Ask your doctor or a dietitian how many calories you need to be eating each day based on your age, weight, current eating habits, and activity level.  You can find out how many calories are in a serving of prepackaged food by checking the nutrition label. Many restaurants also have calorie information in their menus. When eating fresh or homemade food, you can use a guide like this one to approximate how many calories are in each meal: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-weight/calorie-checker/.
Summary:
Pay attention to your body’s hunger cues. Watch your portion sizes. Avoid skipping meals. Keep track of your calories.
