INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Carrier oils are used to dilute the essential oils, lessening their strength. These are milder oils—olive oil, coconut oil, and sunflower oil—which make a great base for the skin cleansing process. Active oils like castor oil, hazelnut oil, and tea tree oil should not be used at full strength. Instead, they are the active astringents needed to get clear, healthy skin. Try an olive oil base with a hazelnut boost, or a coconut base with a castor oil boost. Choose a combination based on which oils are locally available in a natural, unrefined state. You should take care to use only the highest quality oils on your skin.

SUMMARY: Learn the difference between carrier oils and active or essential oils: Choose your oil pair.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Carefully look over the mother’s teats on her underside. If you notice redness, swelling, pus, abscesses, or discolored milk, the dam might have mastitis. Mastitis occurs when the mother’s milk ducts become inflamed. This makes lactation and nursing very painful for the mother dog. If it is severe, the mother can become aggressive towards the puppies or refuse to nurse. A vet can treat mastitis with antibiotics.  You can relieve the pain of mastitis by applying warm water compresses to the mother’s teats. You can help stimulate the flow of milk by gently pressing the teat between your forefinger and thumb. Be aware that if the dog is in extreme pain, she may become aggressive. If your dog refuses to nurse and starts pacing excessively, she may have milk fever. Milk fever, also known as eclampsia, may cause the mother to refuse the puppies. Symptoms begin with restlessness or anxiety. The mother may start to walk with a stiff or wobbly gait. This can develop into tremors, spasms, heavy panting, and fever. If you suspect that the dam is suffering from these symptoms, take her to the vet immediately. If untreated, it can lead to death. Symptoms of milk fever typically begin between three and five weeks after the puppies are born. Even if you do not notice the symptoms of mastitis or milk fever, there may still be an underlying medical cause for the mother’s abandonment. Take both the mother and the puppies to the vet. The vet will do bloodwork and other tests to determine what is going wrong.  Occasionally, something might be wrong with the puppies, causing the mother to abandon them. Your vet may be able to help them thrive.  If the vet determines that there is no medical cause, they can help you try to encourage the mother dog to accept the puppies. The vet may also recommend that you feed and care for the puppies yourself.
Summary: Check the dam’s nipples. Watch for restlessness or spasms. Take the dogs to the vet.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The easiest breathing exercise is to simply inhale, hold your breath, and exhale for longer counts. First, increase your count to 5, then 6, and eventually work your way up to 10. Do 3 or 4 sets of inhales, holds, and exhales for each count. Make sure to maintain the proper breathing techniques by filling your belly and keeping your shoulders down for this and any other exercise. Inhaling for a shorter count and exhaling for longer is great exercise for your diaphragm. Start by doing a few sets of 6 count inhales and 8 count exhales. Proceed to counting to 5 as you inhale and to 10 as you exhale, then gradually work your way up to inhaling for a 2 count and exhaling for a 20 count. Work on filling your lungs with air in a shorter amount of time and controlling your exhale to blow out in a steady stream for a longer amount of time. For this exercise, imagine there’s a candle in front of your face. Your goal is to blow out so slowly and gently that your breath doesn’t make the candle flicker. Fill your lungs with air, then exhale through your imaginary straw until you empty your lungs. Repeat this exercise 10 times. Start adding vocalizations to your breathing exercises. Say “B,” “F,” “S,” and “Sh,“ as you exhale. Extend the sound throughout your entire exhale by saying, “Beee-,” or “Esss-.” Try mixing up your counts for this exercise. Inhale for a 4 count, exhale for 8, then inhale for 2 and exhale for 6. Randomize your counts to mimic how you’d have to switch up your breathing during a song. Hum at a note in your middle register as you exhale. You can also try pronouncing syllables, like “Ba,” or “La.” Extend the sound evenly as you exhale: use your breath to keep the tone and volume steady throughout your exhale. Once again, try switching up your inhale and exhale counts for this exercise.

SUMMARY:
Increase each of your counts as you practice proper breathing. Decrease your inhale counts and increase your exhale counts. Exhale very slowly as if you were blowing through a thin straw. Add letters and sounds as you exhale. Introduce tone by humming as you exhale.
