Top 10 Home Remedies For Skin Tags

Top 10 Home Remedies For Skin Tags:



Certain home remedies can help remove skin tags naturally. You can apply a bandage over the area, whenever you apply any kind of paste to prevent it from falling off. 

1. Lemon Juice:

The citric acid in lemon juice removes the dead cells. Dip a cotton ball in lemon juice and apply it over the tag. Wash it off after some time. Do this twice or thrice a week. In 2-3 weeks, you will notice that the skin tag is slowly decomposing.

2. Castor Oil:

Mix a little castor oil with baking powder to form a paste. It can be very sticky. Keep repeating the process for two to four weeks, and you will notice the skin tag disappearing slowly.

3. Dental Floss:

Another method is by tying a dental floss around the tag. This is done to stop the blood supply to it. After a short period, you will notice that the tag has darkened, and it will fall off in 2 to 3 weeks.

4. Garlic:

Garlic is antibacterial and antifungal. Crush some fresh garlic cloves into a paste. Now, apply it over the skin tag. Wash it off. After a few days, the tag will drop off, leaving smooth skin behind.

5. Banana Peel:

Banana peel also seems effective to remove skin tag. Just cut a small portion of the peel. Apply the fibrous part of the peel on the tag. Repeat the process for a few days until the tag falls off.

6. Aspirin:

Aspirin dries off the skin. Dissolve an aspirin in water to make a paste and apply it over the tag.

7. Mixed Vegetables:

Mix the juices of potato, cauliflower and garlic and apply it over the area.Repeat till the tag vanishes.

8. Nail Polish:

Apply nail polish over the area. Leave for some time and then remove it. Repeat the process 3 times a day for a few days until you see visible results.

9. Pineapple Juice:

Pineapple juice is also known to work on moles and warts. Just apply a little fresh pineapple juice on the skin tag. Repeat for a few days until your skin tag becomes invisible.

10. Onion Juice:

Soak a few pieces of onion and salt overnight. Apply the extracted juice over the area. This will remove the skin tags within a week.
Skin tags are unobtrusive and painless. Never try to remove them by surgical means or by castration at home as this may cause infection and make it worse. Try these simple home remedies instead.

Birth of a Natural Pearl

The birth of a pearl is truly a miraculous event. Unlike gemstones or precious metals that must be mined from the earth, pearls are grown by live oysters far below the surface of the sea. Gemstones must be cut and polished to bring out their beauty. But pearls need no such treatment to reveal their loveliness. They are born from oysters complete -- with a shimmering iridescence, lustre and soft inner glow unlike any other gem on earth.




A natural pearl begins its life as a foreign object, such as a parasite or piece of shell that accidentally lodges itself in an oyster's soft inner body where it cannot be expelled. To ease this irritant, the oyster's body takes defensive action. The oyster begins to secrete a smooth, hard crystalline substance around the irritant in order to protect itself. This substance is called "nacre." As long as the irritant remains within its body, the oyster will continue to secrete nacre around it, layer upon layer. Over time, the irritant will be completely encased by the silky crystalline coatings. And the result, ultimately, is the lovely and lustrous gem called a pearl.

How something so wondrous emerges from an oyster's way of protecting itself is one of nature's loveliest surprises. For the nacre is not just a soothing substance. It is composed of microscopic crystals of calcium carbonate, aligned perfectly with one another, so that light passing along the axis of one crystal is reflected and refracted by another to produce a rainbow of light and color.

Cultured pearls share the same properties as natural pearls. Oysters form cultured pearls in an almost identical fashion. The only difference is a person carefully implants the irritant in the oyster, rather than leaving it to chance. We then step aside and let nature create its miracle.

Plugged in, not charging - Windows 7 solution


I recently had the popular problem of Windows 7 battery manager malfunctioning and not charging my battery when plugged in.  The battery was fine, the power supply was fine, and the motherboard was fine (I have enough laptops with the same specs in the Headspring office, and I was able to swap out parts to isolate the problem).
I also searched for this problem online, and many folks are having this problem with all makes of laptop computers.  I found the steps that solved my problem here on the TechNet forums.
There are multiple solutions proposed, and here are the steps that fixed it for me:
  1. Disconnect AC
  2. Shutdown
  3. Remove battery
  4. Connect AC
  5. Startup
  6. Start--> type "device" --> Device Manager --> Batteries or WinKey+R --> type devmgmt.msc and hit enter to get the Device Manager.
  7. Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).


8. Shutdown
9. Disconnect AC
10. Insert Battery
11. Connect AC
12. Start-up.

FIXED !

Please comment if this fixes your problem so that others can solve their problem sooner.  I was surprised at how many people were having this problem with Windows 7.

How does the "Reserve Petrol Tank" Work In Bikes?

In Most of the Bikes,we have a provision for RESERVE TANK  to help the rider to go to nearest fuel station when the main tank runs out of fuel. Some might misunderstand that reserve tank is a separate tank. 

But actually, your main Petrol tank and your reserve petrol tank are the same tank. The only thing that differentiates 'main' from 'reserve' is which standpipe is being used to collect fuel. When your petcock is toggled over to 'Main,' a taller standpipe is being used, and so when the petrol gets below the level of this taller standpipe, the bike putters out and dies. Then when you switch over to 'Reserve,' a shorter standpipe is used to draw fuel from the tank. Thus, the bike will start up and run for a while longer.
Here's a crude little picture I made to show how this works:
 
 

This provision is used in bikes which do not have fuel gauges to show fuel levels.The reserve capacity of a fuel tank may vary from 10-20% depending on the manufacturer.

We can calculate mileage of a bike by measuring the reserve to reserve distance traveled and fuel consumed.Mileage depends on various parameters of which the road traveled is one.



What Exactly Is a Petcock?

 The petcock is a 3-position valve that changes the fuel source. The 3 positions are Off (switch is pointed towards the back of the bike), On (switch is pointed straight down), and Reserve (switch is pointed toward the front of the bike). The fuel petcock is located on the left side of the bike, about where your left knee would be while riding, above the frame, hanging off of the petrol tank. The lever is shown in each of the 3 positions below:

 
Petcock In On Position
Petcock In Off Position
Petcock In Reserve Position


The petcock also contains a secondary valve that is vacuum activated. Fuel can only flow when there is a vacuum from the left carb. applied to the nipple on the bottom of the petcock. Fuel exits from the nipple on the back of the petcock.
  • blue line traces fuel flow from reserve
  • red line traces fuel flow in normal position
  • fuel exits back of petcock while vacuum line connects to bottom of petcock

Image:Petcock_assembly.jpg



What is the "Off" Position Used For?

Any time your bike is going to be parked for more than an hour, you should switch the petcock to 'Off,' according to our beloved FOG. The petcock is somewhat failure prone. If the petcock is left 'On,' and it is leaky, then it may leak fuel into the carburetors, and then, imperfect float valves in the carburetors will leak fuel into the engine, through the intake valves, and into the crankcase. Which is bad. Turning the Petcock 'Off' when you're not riding is a safety measure which may prevent this from happening if your petcock develops a leak.
This video shows how to disassemble the petcock for a rebuild: 


Out Of Petrol: Two Final Notes

Two final notes on running out of petrol:
First of all, here's a scenario that has happened to most of us. You're out riding, minding your own business, on 'Main,' when all of a sudden your bike putters out and dies. No big deal, right? Switch over to reserve, and crank it to be on your way. But the bike won't start.... 2 minutes later, all of a sudden it starts up properly and you're off. Why the delay?
When you run completely out of petrol while on 'Main,' the carburetors are sucked dry of fuel. It takes a little bit of time (or a little bit of cranking the bike) to get fuel sucked back through the carburetors. So next time you run completely out of petrol, just sit for a few minutes before you get worried, and then once you've given the fuel a few minutes to get through all the petrol lines, through the carburetors, and to your engine, you'll be good to go.
And, lastly, another scenario that has hit an unfortunate few of us. You're riding. Hit reserve, switch over, keep riding, no big deal. But there are no petrol pump (bunk) in sight. Finally you burn up all the fuel in 'Reserve' and you're still not to a petrol pump (bunk). Well, don't panic just yet. Often there is a little bit of leftover petrol which is not accessible to your Reserve standpipe, because it is on the other side of a hump in the petrol tank. Lean your bike as far over to the left as you can without dropping it (that should be, really really far), and then go back vertical again. If you're lucky, you'll now be able to make it a few more miles, and if you're really lucky, you might even make it to a petrol pump (bunk). The below image depicts this 'leftover petrol.'

Ten Tips To Help You Control Your High Blood Pressure



Ten Tips To Help You Control Your High Blood Pressure~

1. Make sure your blood pressure is under 140/90 mm Hg. If your systolic pressure (the top number) is over 140, ask your doctor what you can do to lower it.

2. Take your high blood pressure medicine, if prescribed, every day. If you have questions, talk to your doctor.

3. Aim for a healthy weight. If you are overweight or obese, carrying this extra weight increases your risk of high blood pressure. One way to determine if you need to lose weight is to find out your body mass index or BMI. If your BMI is above the healthy range (i.e., 25 or greater), or if your waist measurement is greater than 35 inches (women) or 40 inches (men) you probably have excess abdominal weight and you may benefit from weight loss especially if you have other risk factors. Talk to your doctor to see if you are at increased risk for high blood pressure and need to lose weight.

4. Increase your physical activity. Do at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, such as walking, most days of the week. You can do 30 minutes in three 10-minute segments. Dr.Sharib Azmi

5. Choose foods low in salt and sodium. Most Americans should consume no more than 2.4 grams (2,400 milligrams) of sodium a day. That equals 6 grams, about one teaspoon of table salt a day. For someone with high blood pressure, the doctor may advise less.

6. Read nutrition labels. Almost all packaged foods contain sodium. Every time you prepare or eat a packaged food, know how much sodium is in one serving.

7. Keep a sodium diary. You may be surprised at how much sodium you consume each day and the diary will help you decide which foods to decrease or eliminate.

8. Use spices and herbs instead of salt to season the food you prepare at home.

9. Eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, and low-fat dairy foods. Dr.Sharib Azmi

10. If you consume alcohol at all, consume moderate amount or restrict...
