Finger placement is key to help you avoid spray, as is stretching of the labia. Don't pull too far. Pulling too far up upward on the urethra can cause spray, as it tends to compress the urethral opening, causing it to flatten slightly. Over time, your fingers will learn what is the right amount of upward tension to keep while urinating. Stretch your labia. Sufficient tension on the labia insures that it does not interfere with your stream, and is the most important part of mastering standing urination. Over time, you may notice that your labia stretches out a bit to better accommodate standing urination. A few random drips are common, even for the most veteran standing urinator (men included). Yet you can refine technique to prevent frequent drips by refining finger position. Place two fingers on either side of the clitoris, slight ahead of the urethra. When you place pressure directly on either side of the urethra, it stretches the opening slightly and causes side drips. Think about your lower body and isolate the muscles that tighten to stop urine flow. Tense them briefly. Note how they seem to tug on your entire undercarriage. These are the muscles of your pelvic floor, and strengthening them can help you control urine flow and prevent drips. Exercise the muscles of your pelvic floor by contracting them for a count of 5 seconds, then releasing them for a count of 5 second. You may gradually work up to intervals of ten seconds. Be careful not to exhaust your muscles as this can negatively impact urination immediately after. Focus on the right muscle group. When first starting, these muscles may be weak or difficult to control, and it may be tempting to tense the buttocks or abdomen while exercising them. It is important, however, that you focus on only the pelvic floor muscles and teaching them to respond to voluntary control. Repeat exercises at least 3 times daily. Doctors recommend a regimen of 3 sets at a time, 10 times daily. If that is too much at first, gradually work your way up to this goal. Only do what is comfortable for you. As your body becomes accustomed to standing urination and your muscles more responsive, consider trying the "One-handed Method." It requires greater dexterity but can be easier once you get the hang of it. Begin by washing your hands and moving clothing out of the way. Form a "V" with the first and second finger of your hand and use it to spread the inner lips of the labia, pulling upward. This encourages urine to drain as a stream and not run down your leg. You can adjust the direction of the stream by adjusting the upward pressure of your fingers, as well as the position of your hips.

summary: Avoiding spray. Preventing drips. Do Kegel exercises. Trying new techniques.

This is where you will make your fully customized Cassia obovata mix. Research the pros and cons of each liquid before mixing and decide which one will provide your desired effect. You can use anything from Chamomile tea to hot water or even champagne! If you're short on time, try chamomile tea for a fast dye release. If you have a lot of time, try lemon juice for a rich stain. The liquid does not have to be acidic, but most people find acidic mixes stain better. While this step is optional, it's fun and potentially rewarding to experiment with different herbs for scent, tone and conditioning that suits your own hair type. Some suggestions include: Unbleached chamomile leaves can be a great blonde booster. Cinnamon can add warm red or auburn tones. Powdered cloves can mask the cassia scent. Rhubarb root, like cassia, contains a large amount of Chrysophanic acid, which makes it stain yellow so it's great to enhance the blonde. This will also stain your hands or clothes, so take care!

summary: Put the powder in a large bowl. Mix in a liquid. Add in other herbs.

An emollient is a skin-softening preparation that you can purchase over-the-counter at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Examples include petroleum jelly (Vasoline), or other thick creams that your doctor or dermatologist may recommend. It is best to apply an emollient to your psoriasis lesions right after a shower or bath. You can also make your own emollients at home, using ingredients such as cocoa butter, almond butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and beeswax among other things. One example is to mix 4 ounces of cocoa butter, 4 ounces of almond butter, and 2 ounces of shaved beeswax. Use heat to mix the ingredients together, then place them in a heat-proof container and let them cool before use. Another example is to mix 4 ounces of extra virgin olive oil with 2 ounces of coconut oil, 1 ounce of vitamin E oil, and 1 ounce of shaved beeswax. Again, mix the ingredients with heat so that they meld together, then put them in a heat-proof container and let the mixture cool before use. Other thick moisturizers that you can use to treat psoriasis include Eucerin cream and Cetaphil cream. Products labeled as "lotions" are not good enough emollients look for creams. A corticosteroid cream or ointment functions by suppressing the immune response at the area of the psoriatic lesions. When you apply it over the affected areas, it brings down the inflammation. It can help resolve (or at least improve) psoriasis flares in the shortest amount of time possible. There are various strengths (potencies) of corticosteroids that you can get. A simple hydrocortisone cream of 0.5% or 1% can be purchased over-the-counter at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Your doctor will need to prescribe stronger corticosteroid creams. You can also get shampoos containing corticosteroids if you have psoriasis lesions on your scalp. When applying steroids, apply to the affected area only. Do not use a topical steroid for more than three weeks at a time without consulting a physician. Do not use steroid cream around the eyes. Refrain from abrupt discontinuation of the medication. Potential side effects of steroids include skin thinning, changes in pigmentation, easy bruising, and stretch marks. Calcipotriene or calcitriol are both related to vitamin D and have been proven to be effective in the treatment of psoriasis. These topical preparations can work well with corticosteroids, and you usually need to apply them twice per day. Speak to your doctor to obtain a prescription, and for specific dosing instructions depending upon the severity of your psoriasis. Other topical treatments that you can use to treat psoriasis flare ups include tar, tazarotene, calcineurin inhibitors, and anthralin. These are not typically first-line treatments, but are reserved for cases that are unresponsive to other treatments. Consult your physician if you are interested in receiving a prescription for one of these other topical treatments for psoriasis.
summary: Use an emollient. Try a topical corticosteroid. Opt for vitamin D derivatives. Consider other topical treatments.
