Article: While in the shower, rub a piece of lemon or lime over the skin that most likely has deposits of vapors from cooking such as hands, face, and arms. The acidity in lime will help to break down the essential oils that cause the lingering curry smell. Finish by washing with soap and water as usual. Be sure to avoid open cuts or wounds on the skin as this can cause painful stinging or burning. Avoid putting on any of the same clothing articles that were used while cooking, for instance a hat or sweater. You can try using air diffusers, air deodorizing sprays, plug-ins, or scented candles. Also of great use are air fresheners that allow you to spray on fabrics. Spray all items that are in the cooking vicinity until damp, such as the carpet, upholstery, drapes or walls. A combination of many products will work well. Be sure to carefully read instructions on the packaging label to ensure proper use. Put two cups of water in a pot on the stove and bring it to a boil. Add fragrant materials such as Kewra (Screwpine) leaves or vanilla beans/extract, and turn the heat down to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for at least one hour. The smell emitted will mask the lingering curry odor. Screwpine leaves are also known as pandan leaves and can be purchased at the local Asian grocer or specialty grocery store. There are no set specifications on how much screwpine or vanilla you should add. Try a few sprigs to begin with and add as needed. You can also try boiling other fragrant ingredients you have to get rid of the smell, such as 3 cups (720 mL) of white vinegar, 1 cup (240 mL) of water, and 6 cinnamon sticks. Open the windows for a day or two to allow fresh air to permeate through the residence. You may also need to replace filters in your heating or cooling systems so they don't circulate odorous air.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wash your face and hands with lemon or lime. Use air freshening products. Boil flowers or leaves that emit a pleasant fragrance. Allow fresh air into your home.
Article: This is a natural substance that contains silica and other trace elements, and when taken correctly, it can kill mature parasites, larvae, and eggs. Additionally, it can also help improve your overall digestive health. Only use food-safe diatomaceous earth. Other varieties can be harmful if ingested. Typically, you'll need to start by dissolving 1 tsp (5 ml) of the powdered supplement into 8 oz (250 ml) of water. Drink this solution once daily. If necessary, you could gradually increase the amount to 1 or 2 Tbsp (15 or 30 ml) if the infection persists for several weeks. The B-vitamins in apple cider vinegar can help nourish the body as it fights against infection, and its acidic pH can help neutralize the pH of the body while improving digestive health. Start by taking 1 tsp (5 ml) of apple cider vinegar up to three times daily. Taking it 30 minutes before each meal can improve your body's ability to absorb it. If you handle the initial dosage well, you might be able to gradually increase it to 1 Tbsp (15 ml) instead of 1 tsp (5 ml). Certain herbs and spices are believed to help strengthen the body and combat invading parasites. You can take most in the form of capsules, powders, and teas. Herbs commonly used against parasites include barberry, goldenseal, Oregon grape, anise, wormwood, curled mint, and black walnuts. Similarly, cinnamon is one spice that may have anti-parasitic properties. Season your dishes with cinnamon or drink a solution made with 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) of cinnamon and 8 oz (250 ml) of water up to three times daily. Note that some herbs may have toxic side effects when taken for prolonged periods, and others can negatively interfere with other medications. Thoroughly research any herb before taking it medicinally. In particular, both coconut oil and olive oil may help your body get rid of intestinal parasites. Cook your meals with either oil instead of using butter, margarine, or other cooking oils. To aid your body as it fights the infection, consider taking either oil supplementally, as well. Dissolve up to 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of coconut oil into hot tea. Toss 1 to 2 Tbsp (15 to 30 ml) of olive oil with any vegetables you consume or drink it straight. Dissolve 1/2 cup (125 ml) of Epsom salts in a full bathtub of hot water. Soak in the water for 15 to 20 minutes. While the salt bath may not kill the actual parasites, it can help remove the toxins left behind by those parasites, which helps your body's ability to fight the infestation. The salt water draws these toxins out of your body through the pores of your skin. Neem tree oil is an old anti-parasitic folk remedy originating in India, and you can take it as a capsule or tea. It kills parasites and flushes out the toxins left by dying parasites, and it may also help restore the health of your liver after infection. Follow the dosage instructions that come with the supplement. Precise dosage will vary depending on the severity of your infection, your age, and your overall health. It's best to talk to a healthcare provider before taking this supplement to avoid the risk of complication. Note that neem is not safe for women who are pregnant or nursing since it could severely hurt or kill the baby. It can also be toxic to young children. As you eliminate parasites from your intestines, you may experience severe bodily discomfort and abdominal pain. Going through the treatment at a fast pace will increase this discomfort. If you're receiving treatment under the guidance of your physician, follow the schedule set by your doctor to ensure the maximum benefit. When you're primarily relying on home treatment, you should try to stretch it out over the course of several weeks. Maintain an anti-parasitic diet for a few weeks before introducing some of the supplemental treatments (apple cider vinegar, diatomaceous earth, neem oil, etc.) into your system.

Take food-grade diatomaceous earth. Try apple cider vinegar. Use certain herbs and spices. Support your system with oil. Soak in an Epsom salt bath. Consider taking neem. Work at a slow, steady pace.
Article: It's easier to put the belt on properly if the patient is seated upright with their feet flat on the floor and their arms to their sides (but not right up against their body). This is also the best position for using the gait belt to help move a patient from a bed or chair to a wheelchair or other seat. Gait belts are most effective when used on patients who are able to sit upright, but who need assistance standing and moving to a nearby seat. Ask the patient to lift their arms slightly if necessary, then wrap the belt around their midsection, right over their clothing. However, make sure there are no medical tubes or wiresfor instance, an oxygen tuberunning underneath the belt. If there are any wires or tubes in the way, carefully feed the belt underneath them, so the belt is between the tube/wire and the patient's clothing. The belt should not wrap right over the patient's hip bones, or around the bottom of their ribcage. Make sure it's wrapped over their waistline, so that the bottom of the belt is just at the tops of their hip bones. Feel for the hip bones to confirm the belt is in the right location. Standard gait belts use a metal buckle with a loop at each end, one of which has gripping teeth inside the loop. Position the belt and buckle so that, when the strap is wrapped around the patient's body, the first loop it encounters is the one with the teeth. The teeth should also be pointing outwards, away from the patient's belly, not inwards towards it. Not all gait belts have metal buckles with teeth. Quick-release belts, for instance, often have plastic buckles that snap together.

Have the patient sit upright on the edge of the bed or chair. Wrap the belt over clothing but not any tubes or wires. Position the belt at the waist, just above the hips. Make sure the teeth of a standard belt are in the right spot.
