Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand how essential oils aid sleep. Know the best essential oils to aid sleep. Buy an essential oil that will aid your sleep. Read the label.

Answer: Using essential oils will not cure your insomnia or the root cause of it. However, essential oils can help you calm down and relax before bedtime and may help you fall and stay asleep. Essential oils are distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, or roots of a specific plant. They are highly concentrated and you won't need to use much to reap their benefits. If you have insomnia for a longer period of time, see your doctor to rule out a more serious condition. Each essential oil has a different effect on the body and mind. Learning about the different essential oils will help you identify which ones may help you sleep. Chamomile essential oil is a powerful calming agent. It can also help lift mood and aid depression. Lavender essential oil is an excellent choice to relieve stress, but can also be used as an anti-depressant, and sedative. Marjoram essential oil can help ease anxiety and stress, fight fatigue. Valerian essential oil can help relax and calm you and may aid occasional insomnia. Vetiver essential oil can help relax and calm you and may help you fall and stay asleep. Once you've identified the essential oils that may help you sleep, buy one that you like and a carrier oil. You can buy essential and carrier oils at many stores and online retailers. Consider buying several different essential oils to aid your sleep. That way, you can choose a scent you like best on any given day. Because essential oils are so concentrated, you'll need to dilute it with a carrier oil to best use it. Some examples of carrier oils are: sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, olive oil, and sesame oil. You can buy essential oils and carrier oils at most health food or nutritional supplements retailers either online or in the store. Because each essential oil has different properties and may not be ideal for all users, it's important to read the label of any essential oil before you use it. It's also a good idea to do a skin patch test before using an oil. You can find out about the oil's contra-indications by reading the label. For example, you wouldn't want to use valerian if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Before you use the essential oil in a bath or for a massage, do a skin patch test. Add 1-2 drops of diluted essential oil to the inside of your elbow. If no irritation occurs after 24 hours, then you can safely use it on your skin.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick out or buy bamboo stalks. Cut the bamboo in front of its first node. Sand the node area. Measure out your pipes. Clean out nodes between sections. Cut the bamboo according to the measurements.

Answer: If you are making your pipes out of bamboo, buy as many stalks as you need. If you live in a warm climate that grows bamboo, you may be able to find bamboo outside or at local shops. If you don't have access to bamboo in your community, order it online. Make sure each stalk of bamboo has around a 5/8 inch diameter. It's important that all the stalks have a similar interior diameter, or else it will be hard to make them sound good together. Make sure the bamboo isn't green, and instead is dried and tan in color. Take a stalk of bamboo and cut it at one end right before the first node using a saw. The nodes of the bamboo are the lines that run horizontally across the stalk that you can see from the outside. The nodes are closed on the inside, so they create a good natural bottom to your pipes. After you have made the cut before the node, use a belt sander to make the outside bottom of the bamboo stalk rounded. This isn't necessary, but it will make the bottoms of your pipes less prickly and spiky, and will also make your instrument look better. Do the same process for all of your bamboo pieces. Use the same measurements for the straw pan pipes, starting with the longest pipe at 17.5 cm and the shortest at 8.5 centimeters. Use a ruler to measure and mark these measurements on the bamboo. After forming the bottom of the pipes around the node, you will want to clear the inside of the bamboo, still keeping the bottom node untouched. Since nodes are closed on the inside, they will stop air from going through the entire pipe and will interfere with your sound. Use a steel rod with roughly a 3/8 inch diameter to break through the nodes inside of the bamboo shaft. An effective way to do this is to clamp down the steel rod, and then take the bamboo shaft and poke the nodes out using the rod. You also will want to use the rod to scrape around the inside of the bamboo nodes so that the inside node area has the same interior diameter as the rest of the stalk. Using the measurements you already marked down, cut the bamboo into differently-sized pipes. Remember that it's better to cut your pipes a little too long than too short, because you can always do another cut.

Answer: A simple way to add a front panel to your shadow box is to connect a wooden picture frame that already has the glass connected to it. Choose a frame that fits the dimensions of your shadow box so it fits onto it evenly. Remove any backing or other materials from the picture frame so that only the front wooden frame and the glass remains. You can buy new frames at craft supply stores and department stores. Look for old picture frames at thrift stores that you can upcycle for your project! Flip the picture frame over so the back is facing up. Use a power drill to attach a small hinge to the outermost edge of one of the sides of the frame near the top. Then, attach another small hinge to the outermost edge of the frame near the bottom so there are 2 hinges on the same side. Make sure the hinges are aligned with each other and evenly spaced from the top and bottom edges of the frame. Use the small screws that come with the hinges. You can find small hinges at home improvement stores, department stores, and online. Lay the picture frame on your shadow box frame and align the hinges so they lay flat on the outer edge on the front. Use your drill to drive the screws into the shadow box frame so the hinges connect the picture frame to it. Open and close the front panel to make sure it works and the edges are lined up evenly. You can also use a screwdriver if you don't have access to a power drill. Use the same paint or stain that you used to paint the rest of the shadow box frame and apply a thin coat over the front panel. Allow the paint to dry completely and then add a second coat so none of the original paint or color is visible. Use as many coats as it takes to cover the panel without any of the original paint visible.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Speak with your health care professional about their recommendations. Inquire about genetic testing. Ask about the risks of the test. Talk to your health insurance provider to determine what they will cover. Consider how the results might affect your decision to continue the pregnancy. Determine how the information might shape your prenatal care. Understand that you have the right to refuse a test.

Answer:
Your doctor or midwife may recommend a variety of different screenings, tests, and imaging techniques throughout your pregnancy. Certain routine procedures (especially those that are noninvasive and low-risk) are offered to most pregnant people but others are generally only recommended if you have certain risk factors that may affect your health or your baby's health. Ask your doctor to explain the tests in detail to make sure you have as much information as possible to help guide your decision. For example, ask your doctor why he or she is recommending this specific test and what it will tell you. Make sure to ask which tests will give definitive answers and which are simply indicators. You may also want to ask about the accuracy of the test. Prenatal screening, like most medical testing, is not perfect. The rate of inaccurate results, known as false-negatives or false-positives, varies from test to test. Increasingly, all pregnant people, regardless of age or risk factors, are offered prenatal genetic testing. A genetic counselor is trained to help you understand how genes can affect your baby's health, including the risks of certain birth defects, chromosomal conditions, and other medical conditions that may run in your family. Certain prenatal tests, such as an ultrasound (which uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of your baby), have no known risks. Other tests, such as amniocentesis, carry a slight risk of miscarriage. Make sure to speak to your doctor about the potential risks of any prenatal test to help you decide. Even for low- to no-risk procedures, it is important to visit a well-trained medical professional who can correctly interpret the results of the test. For example, while ultrasounds are considered quite safe, an untrained interpreter may misread the results, miss an abnormality, or create unnecessary concern about the baby's well-being. Not all prenatal screenings and tests are covered by all insurance plans. If you have health insurance, you may want to call your health insurance provider before deciding to undergo an expensive procedure. While this may or may not change your mind about the test, it can help you make a more responsible plan. While 96-97% of babies are born healthy, it's important to understand that prenatal testing can reveal some undesired complications, such as birth defects, medical conditions, and genetic abnormalities. Some of these results may leave you with the difficult decision of whether or not to continue the pregnancy. This might be scary or overwhelming, but it can be helpful to take the time to think about what you will do with the test results, no matter how they turn out. Some prenatal tests detect problems that can be treated during pregnancy. In this case, prenatal testing can help you improve your prenatal care with increased office visits, dietary changes, additional medications, or other doctor recommendations. Speak to your health care professional about whether the test results could help guide prenatal care decisions. Some conditions cannot be treated through prenatal care. However, testing results may still help you plan for your baby's care in advance. They can also alert your health care provider to conditions that will require immediate treatment after birth, ensuring faster care. Knowing that your child has a certain condition may also help you prepare to raise them successfully. For example, if you learn that your unborn child has Down syndrome, you can prepare for their birth by learning more about the condition, networking with other Down syndrome families, and preparing medical and educational resources. Whether they are routine tests or not, know that you have the right as the parent of the unborn child to refuse any test that you are uncomfortable with. If you decide that the risks of the testincluding anxiety, pain, or possible miscarriageare not worth the value of knowing the results, speak to your health care professional about your decision to refuse the test. While your doctor may provide additional information and advice, you should never feel forced to undergo a test you do not want.
