Q: There is not one agreed upon oil for the inversion method. Try olive oil, castor oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, or Moroccan argon oil, if you want to use natural ingredients. Choose an oil with an aroma that you find soothing. Since the inversion method incorporates massage, pick a scented oil that you find relaxing. Warm up around 34 tablespoon (4459ml) oil. Take a cup of hot water and place your oil bottle in it. You can get this water from the sink. Let the oil sit for a minute or so until it is warm to the touch. Your goal is to increase blood flow to your scalp. Warmer oil will increase the blood retention in your scalp cells. Do not overheat the oil. You don't want to burn your scalp. If you've experienced hair loss, make sure that you cover your problem areas first, then proceed to cover the remainder of your scalp. Make sure that you cover your entire scalp with a thin layer of oil. It doesn't take a lot of oil to achieve full coverage. If your hair tends to split or break, try to spread oil to all of your hair. Hair splits or breaks when it is short on moisture and nutrients. Natural oils will help replenish both. If you have curly hair, be gentle or avoid this step altogether. You don't want to pull out more hair in the process.
A: Choose your oil. Warm up oil. Apply oil to your scalp. Comb the oil through the rest of your hair.

Q: It is important to make sure that you child's school routine will mesh well with your family's normal daily routine. Before you set up a daily school routine for your child, think about what your normal daily routine already looks like. Examine your normal daily routine to figure out how much time you have available to homeschool your children. Then, work within this amount of time. For example, if you find that you have four hours of time free each day, then this is the amount of time that you will have to homeschool your children. It is also a good idea to maintain your regular daily tasks in your schedule to help structure your days, such as getting dressed in the morning, running errands on a specific day, or preparing meals at a certain time. Setting a time boundary is important when you are homeschooling because this will help to prevent you from working too long or starting too late. Try to set a daily start time and identify the days of the week that will be "school" days. For example, you might decide to start school at 9am every day and end school at 3pm every day. Make sure that you make your kids aware of these start and end times, such as by posting them somewhere visible. It can be hard for kids to focus on one task for too long, so you might want to schedule tasks in 15 minute blocks. If your child ends up needing less time to complete a task, then that is fine. Just try to avoid scheduling tasks that might take more than 15 minutes to complete. For example, you might schedule a short reading or a worksheet for one 15 minute block. However, scheduling an entire book chapter, or a packet of worksheets would be too much for 15 minutes. Including meal and break times on the schedule is also important to maintain structure in your child's environment. Make sure that you include snack times, meal times, and other important breaks on the schedule. For example, you might schedule in a snack from 10 to 10:15am and then schedule lunch for 12:30 to 1:30pm. To ensure that your kids can always find out what tasks they should be working on at a given time, post the schedule somewhere that is easy for them to access, such as on the kitchen table or on the refrigerator. You might even want to take a few minutes each day to review the schedule with your kids and make sure that they know what tasks they will be working on and when they will be working on those tasks.
A: Keep your family's regular routine in mind. Determine when school will begin and end. Schedule tasks in 15 minute blocks. Include meal and break times on the schedule. Put the schedule somewhere visible.

Q: Instead of reaching for the roll of paper towels, use a hand dryer to save trees and water. To replace the paper towels that we discard on a daily basis, 51,000 trees have to be cut down every day. To produce one ton of paper towels, 17 trees are cut down and 20,000 gallons of water are required. Using hand dryers as opposed to paper towels cuts down significantly on waste. On a global scale, our discarded paper towels result in an estimated 254 million tons of trash every year. In the United States we consume over 13 billion pounds of paper towels every year. While thoroughly washing your hands is the best way to prevent the spread of germs, drying your hands also decreases the spread of bacteria. According to the CDC, germs are more easily transferred to and from wet hands. If you wash your hands and do not dry them, you usually end up with water stains all over your clothes. Use a hand dryer to prevent this from happening. While hand dryers can help reduce your carbon footprint, they still have an environmental impact. They require electricity to run, and thereby play a role in carbon dioxide emissions. Drying your hands with the typical 2,200 watt warm air-dryer three times a day for one year produces 26.61 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. To evaluate the carbon footprint of using hand dryers, also think about how your local electric company generates electricity. The more coal it uses, the more carbon the dryer produces. Researchers have concluded that paper towels are the more hygienic and sanitary choice. Here are some of the main reasons why hand dryers are less effective at decreasing the spread of germs: Dryers in public places are rarely cleaned. People often stick their hands in the dryers or on the rim, leaving bacteria on the surface. The dryers can blow bacteria onto other surfaces and onto people using them. In a study published in the Journal of Hospital Infection, researchers determined that jet dryers left 4.5 times more bacteria in the vicinity than warm-air dryers, and 27 times more bacteria than paper towels. Other researchers, however, have questioned the methods employed in the study.
A:
Save trees and water. Reduce waste. Decrease the spread of germs caused by not drying your hands. Prevent water stains on your clothes. Evaluate the environmental impact of hand dryers. Assess the health risks.
