Essential Oil Application Methods
BATH:Add 10-12 drops of a single oil or a blend to 1/2 Cup Epsom Salts or baking soda - or 5 drops to 1 TBSP of Epsom Salts or baking soda. Pour it into a hot bath while it is filling. Soak until water cools.DIRECT INHALATION:Apply 2-3 drops of essential oil or blend to palm of one hand, rub palms together, cup hands over nose and mouth and inhale vapors deeply 6-8 times.DIFFUSION:A few drops in a diffuser (for therapeutic use, cold air diffusers do not harm the fragile properties of essential oils), you can buy electric devices, candle warmed, ceramic rings to place on light bulbs, or just use a bowl of warm water.However, using heat to diffuse essential oils will destroy essential oils, rendering them therapeutically ineffective. Cold air diffusers gently break up essential oils into tiny molecules through micro diffusion thus retaining the integrity of the oils. This process creates a fine mist vapor that floats in the air and can be absorbed gently into the body through the respiratory system.
If you're diffusing an oil only for aroma, an oil burner works perfectly. But, if you're using an essential oil or blend for therapeutic benefit, use a cold air diffuser.COMPRESS:Dilute 1 part essential oil or blend with 4 parts vegetable oil (olive works great) and apply 8-10 drops on affected area. Cover with moist hand towel or wash cloth. Cover the moist towel with a dry towel and leave in place for 10-15 minutes. If there is inflammation - always use a cold compress.
If there is no inflammation, use a warm compress.FOOT REFLEX POINTS:Massage oil or blend with the side of your thumb or reflex tool on the corresponding reflex point on the feet (see the foot reflex charts at akobiaromas.com). Use a press and circle motion for 10-20 seconds per point.RECTAL RETENTION: (only if directed by healthcare provider)Dilute 15 drops recommended essential oil(s) or blend with 1 TBSP vegetable oil. Insert 1 TBSP into rectum with a bulb syringe and retain overnight.VAGINAL RETENTION: (only if directed by healthcare provider)Apply 5-8 drops of oil or blend on a tampon and insert into vagina for internal infection; or apply to sanitary pad for external lesions. Retain overnight.VAPORIZE:Run hot, steaming water into sink or large bowl. Drape towel over head, covering hot water also.
Add 3-6 drops essential oil(s) or blend to the water. Inhale vapors as deeply as possible several times through the nose as they rise with the steam. Recharge vapors with additional hot water as needed.MASSAGE:Blend 15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil (Almond, Apricot, Jojoba) and indulge in the power of touch.OTHER USES:Facial steams, foot soaks, insect repellant, household cleaning.... and much more... use your imagination.

When we look at a certain object, a painting for example ? we won't be able to appreciate what's in it, what is painted and what else goes with it
if the painting is just an inch away from our face. But if we try to take it a little further, we'll have a clearer vision of the whole art work.
We reach a point in our life when we are ready for change and a whole bunch of information that will help us unlock our self improvement power. Until then, something can be staring us right under our nose but we don't see it.
The only time we think of unlocking our self improvement power is when everything got worst. Take the frog principle for example ?
Try placing Frog A in a pot of boiling water.
What happens? He twerps! He jumps off! Why? Because he is not able to tolerate sudden change in his environment ? the water's temperature. Then try Frog B: place him in a luke warm water, then turn the gas stove on. Wait til the water reaches a certain...

CINCINNATI CATFISH GUIDE'S GOLDEN TIPS
You have permission to publish this article in its entirety either, electronically or in print, free of charge. As long as the bylines are included. A courtesy copy of your publication would be greatly appreciated! Thank You. Nuggets From A Cincinnati Catfish Guide I attended a seminar the other week by a local professional catfish guide. This guide works the Ohio River about 15 miles above and below Cincinnati.
His information relates to catfishing on bigger rivers such as the Ohio. The fishing spot he takes his clients fishing depends on the amount of current in the river. The pool stage for the Ohio at Cincinnati is 26.6 feet. According to him when the river is in pool than catfishing is very poor. He prefers the river to be in the 27 to 28 feet range with some current for the best fishing action.
Once the river gets above 30 feet then the current is too strong for good fishing. When there is some current he prefers to bait with fresh cut bait. The current allows the...

Breeding Crayfish
In the text below I shall try to give a short overview of some of the basics when breeding crayfish. Particular species may have other behaviours and demands. It should be said that my main experience as an aquarist is with relation to fish, but I shall try to convey what little knowledge I have. Sexing Crayfish Sexing crayfish isn't always easy. The genital openings are located in different places on the body depending on whether it's a male or a female.
Males have their genital openings behind/under their posterior pair of legs. Females have their genital openings under the third pair of legs counted from the posterior. However, many individuals have a male as well as a female genital opening, making the sexing much more complicated. But these are always either male or female; usually male but you can't be sure. Mating and egg carryingIn aquariums, spawning is possible any time of year.
The male makes a little sperm packet and places it on the female's stomach. The female...
