As noted above, one widely-spread home remedy for "cleansing" the body of THC is to sweat it out - usually via exercise, but sometimes via sauna. The reasoning behind this method is that THC is stored in the body's fat cells, so sweat-inducing, fat-burning activities will cause the THC to be excreted through sweat. In fact, there is no hard evidence supporting this claim. While exercise can boost the body's metabolism and thus might logically decrease the amount of time that THC remains in the body in the long term, some studies have actually found that exercise can raise blood THC levels in the short term, making this a bad last-minute choice. As with the method above, this method suggests eliminating fatty foods from your diet to reduce your level of body fat and, thus, the amount of tissue that THC can be stored in. For many of the reasons above, this method can also be classified as unsupported by hard evidence. Since there is no shortage of people looking for a quick way to pass a drug test, certain opportunistic companies selling supposed "detox" kits have capitalized on this captive market. Usually, these detox kits contain a regimen of pills or supplements designed to "cleanse" your system of THC and its metabolites before your tests. There is no scientific evidence supporting these companies' claims that vitamins or supplements can remove THC from your system. Any testimonials of testing negative after taking such supplements should be regarded as occurring in spite of, rather than because of the supplements. One widely-circulated rumor regarding hair tests is that washing with a specially formulated (usually fairly expensive) shampoo can eliminate THC from the hair. In fact, no shampoo has been scientifically proven to eliminate THC. In addition, some "home remedy" versions of this method recommend creating a solution from chemicals like bleach which can potentially irritate your scalp. When it comes to marijuana tests, use a healthy amount of discretion whenever rubbing strong chemicals into your hair - just as you normally would.

Summary: Don't try to "sweat it out". Don't bother eliminating body fat via diet. Don't waste money on a marijuana "detox" kit. Don't ruin your hair with special shampoos or solutions.


Imagine you are trying to stop yourself from peeing. These are your pelvic floor muscles. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles just enough to identify them. Give them a slight squeeze and hold it. As you hold, notice where the muscles are located and how it feels to squeeze them. This may feel very odd to you if you have never done kegels before. Keep in mind that it becomes easier and more natural with practice. Now that you have identified the muscles required to raise your pelvic floor, release them and inhale as you do so. This will help your pelvic floor drop. You should feel a sensation like your pelvic floor is moving downwards. Let it go completely.  Remember that dropping your pelvic floor is the same action you use when you pee or poop, so relaxing these muscles should feel good. You can relax your pelvic floor muscles for as long as you are able. Try counting to 5 if this is your first time and work up to relaxing them for 10 or even 15 seconds. If you want to intensify the stretch that you get from a reverse kegel, do them while you are lying down and lift your hips up as you breathe in and release. This will allow the pelvic floor muscles to lengthen even more and deepen the stretch. Do not tilt your hips. Just lift them off the ground slightly. To get the most benefit from reverse kegels, it is helpful to practice them daily. Aim for 3 sets of 10 repetitions and add more reps and sets as your pelvic floor muscles get stronger. Only repeat the release portion of the exercise unless you need to re-identify your pelvic floor muscles. If you experience discomfort and can only handle doing a few of these at first, that is fine! Start wherever you are comfortable and work up from there.

Summary: Contract your pelvic floor muscles enough to identify them. Release the muscles to let your pelvic floor drop. Lift your hips up to improve the stretch if you are lying down. Repeat the exercise 10 times and do 3 sets daily.


Purchase a towel bar and follow the template to choose an installation location. Afterwards, install your bar near your crafts area and hang your bags using plain or colored plastic hooks. Take out the mounting brackets from their packaging and loosen their screws prior to installation. If you have a designated crafts table, storing your gift bags underneath it is a convenient solution. Suspend a tension rod between the two bookcases of the craft table and hang your bags on it. This works best if you don't have a big enough collection to separate based on occasion. Use small plastic hooks to hang each bag. Purchase some colored metal hooks—designate one color for each category. Afterwards, you can hang each group of gift bags from their corresponding hook colors. If you have a small enough collection of gift bags, you can hang them with no color scheme.

Summary: Install a towel bar for a more permanent hanging solution. Suspend an adjustable tension rod underneath your crafts table. Hang your gift bags directly in your clothing closet using metal hooks.


This will improve the air quality traveling through the vent system of your car. You should always apply new air freshener lightly to prevent it from being overpowering. You can do this by applying a purifying spray made from water and  hydrogen peroxide to your car's air intake. You can identify the intake by checking your car manual. You should shake the solution gently but thoroughly to mix. Spray your water/peroxide solution into your car's fresh-air intake. This spray will kill germs and mold living in your car, but it is a gentler cleaning agent than most and will not irritate your lungs or eyes. Fill a small jar with a 1/4 cup of baking soda and punch a few holes into the lid or stretch some cheesecloth across the mouth of the jar. You can put this in a cup holder or out of sight in a pocket. Add a few drops of essential oils to create a pleasant fragrance to accompany the refreshing effects of your baking soda. These will help your car fight persistent odors. If you participate in sports or a physical activity, tuck a dryer sheet in your trunk or in an interior pocket to fight strong, sports related odors.
Summary: Make a mold and germ killing spray. Refresh your car's air intake. Mix one cup of water and one tablespoon of the hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. Open doors and windows while running your car fans at full blast. Make an air freshener for your car. Hide dryer sheets under seats, floor mats, and in pockets.
