INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Focusing on your breathing and taking deep, relaxing breaths is one of the easiest ways to calm a nervous stomach. Most people, when they are nervous, have a tendency to take shallow, rapid breaths that speed up your heart rate even more, pumping more adrenaline to your body and fueling your anxiety. Learning to calm your breathing will help you breathe more efficiently, reduce the effects of adrenaline, and calm your nervous stomach. Try breathing in through your nose, then exhaling through your mouth. Aromatherapy uses essential oils, which are derived from various herbs, fruits, bark, and flowers, to positively affect your mood. Lavender and lemon are two of the most popular oils used for relaxation and stress relief. You can either keep these scented oils in burners throughout your house, or you can also purchase aromatherapy massage oils with lavender or lemon for personal use. You can either take light sniffs of the oil or apply the oil to pulse points on your body, like the wrists. To help offset a nervous stomach, there are specific foods that contain enzymes and other properties that can relax the digestive tract. If you are really nauseous and don't feel like eating at all, seek these ingredients out in the form of a mint or lozenge so you can just let it melt in your mouth: Honey is soothing and helps coat the stomach lining. Mint and peppermint, which contain properties that relax smooth muscles like the stomach. Ginger and candied ginger, which contain pyrochemicals that help fight nausea. 1 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved into 1 cup of hot water. The sodium in baking soda draws out digestive juices into the stomach, which then aids food's passage through the small intestine. Papaya, which contains protein digestive enzymes that have anti-inflammatory properties. This is also known as progressive muscle relaxation. When you are feeling tense and your stomach is in a knot, try standing still with your eyes closed. Assess where you feel the most tension in your body, and focus on letting this tension go. Take deep breaths as you relax your arms, your legs, your back, your neck, your torso, and your stomach. Focusing on your body instead of your thoughts can help calm you down. Doing this technique repeatedly can also trick the body into releasing this tension throughout the body, including the stomach. While you never want to take medicine if you can avoid it, sometimes a nervous stomach can be so extreme or persistent that it becomes necessary. If the non-medicinal techniques aren't working for you, there are some medications that can help calm the stomach. Common over-the-counter examples include: Tums Pepto-Bismol Rolaids Alka-Seltzer Emetrol Mylanta Similac

SUMMARY: Learn some breathing techniques. Use aromatherapy to help you relax. Eat foods that calm the stomach. Try to relax your body one part at a time. Treat your symptoms with medicine.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is a fine powdered substance that you can find in most home improvement stores. It's designed to pull stains out of quartz and other stone surfaces. Make sure the product is non-acidic. Scoop about a cup (0.95 metric cups) of powder into a clean bowl or plastic container. Gradually add water until you have a substance as thick as peanut butter. Mix as you add the water. Use a clean nonabrasive cloth. Moisten it with warm water. Lay the cloth on the stain immediately before you're ready to apply the poultice. Get a blunt plastic scraper. Use it to gradually scoop out the substance and lay it on the stain. Keep doing this until the poultice is about 0.25 inches (0.64cm) to 0.5 inches (1.3cm) high. Lay plastic over the poultice. This could be cling film or an old plastic bag cut into smaller pieces. Secure the plastic with painter's tape. Let it sit for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the poultice will be partially to half dry. Remove the plastic. Then, allow the poultice to finish drying. This will take about another 24 hours. If the poultice hasn't dried after 48 hours, check it every hour or so until it is completely dry. When it feels hard to the touch, gently remove it with a plastic scraper. Insert the scraper under the poultice and push forward. Keep doing this until you've completely removed the poultice. Moisten a clean nonabrasive cloth with warm water. Rub the affected area in a gentle counterclockwise motion. When the surface is completely free of poultice remnants, dry it with another clean nonabrasive cloth.

SUMMARY: Purchase a stone poultice. Mix with water. Wet the stained area. Apply the poultice to the stain. Cover the poultice. Let the poultice air dry. Remove the dry poultice. Rinse and dry the area.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Non-vintage champagne contains a blend of wine from at least 2 harvest years, while vintage champagne is made from the grapes of just one year's harvest. You can distinguish these two types of champagne by looking at their labels. Non-vintage champagne labels do not have a harvest year. Vintage champagne bottles clearly indicate the year that it was harvested. You can also distinguish vintage and non-vintage champagne by their prices. Because vintage champagnes are only made a few times a decade, they are typically more expensive than non-vintage champagnes. Non-vintage champagne is served best at a slightly chilled temperature. To keep it at its ideal temperature range, put the bottle in the refrigerator for approximately 4 hours. If you're in a hurry, you can put it in the freezer for 15 minutes or in an ice bucket for 20 minutes. Touch both the neck and the body to ensure that the temperature is even throughout the body before serving. If the champagne is too warm or too cold, you may miss out of some of the flavors. Vintage champagne is best served at a slightly warmer temperature than non-vintage champagne. Keep it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, in the freezer for 10, or 15 minutes in an ice bucket.. Vintage champagne is very delicate, so try to maintain the ideal temperature. The liquid will shock the taste buds if it is too cold.
