In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Though this Part will describe some of the points on the hands that reflexologists associate with different parts of the body, some of the points can be easier to visualize with an actual hand reflexology chart. From the tip of each fingerincluding your thumbto the first joint represents the head, brain, and sinuses. The center of the pads of your thumbs specifically represent the pituitary, pineal, and hypothalamus glands located in the center of the brain, which can make them beneficial for insomnia and other sleep issues. The section of all four fingers and your thumb between your first and second knuckles corresponds to your neck. Additionally, the zone for your throat is at the base of your thumbs, aligned with the webbing of your thumb. Your fingers between the second and third knuckles represent either your eyes or ears depending on the finger. Your index and middle fingers are associated with your eyes, whereas your ring fingers and pinkies are associated with your ears. The chest, breast, lung, and bronchial areas are located just below the knuckles of the four fingers on the palm sides of both hands. Just below the previous upper chest zone, picture four more zones descending down in line with your middle finger. Each of the four is about the size of a dime, and the fourth ends at the bottom of your palm. In descending order, these zones represent your: Solar plexus Adrenal glands Kidneys Intestines Starting at the base of your thumb (the throat zone described above) and leading down to the bottom of your palm on the side closest to your thumb, you quickly descend through four thin zones. In descending order, these zones correspond to your: Thyroid gland Pancreas Bladder Uterus/prostate Note that the outside ridge of this same area represents your spine and spinal column. The spinal column is found along the side of the right and left thumb, reaching down to the wrist with the cervical spine located closest to the thumb, followed by the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral areas. Imagine a line running down the insides of your palms from your pinkies down to your wrists. There are three more zones here with each about the size of a nickel. The top zone on both hands applies to the arm and shoulder on the respective side of the body, and the bottom of the three zones on each hands corresponds to the respective side's hip and thigh. The middle zone on the left hand applies to the heart and spleen while the middle zone on the right hand represents the liver and gall bladder since these organs themselves are located on particular sides of your body. Just beneath your palm on your wrist, you will find three more zones. The lymph system is located in line with your middle finger right where your palm ends and your wrist begins. Right next to this zone (in line with your pinkies), you will find the zones representing the testes/ovaries. Finally, beneath both of these zones in a long thin line, you will find the location corresponding to your sciatic nerve.
Summary: Look at a hand reflexology chart. Apply to the tops of the fingers for the head, brain, and sinuses. Apply between the first and second knuckles for your neck. Apply between the second and third knuckles of each finger for your eyes and ears. Apply to the upper portion of your palm for your upper chest. Extend a line from your middle finger down the center of your palm. Apply to the outside of your palm (toward your thumb). Apply to the inside area of your palms. Apply to the wrist.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are all kinds of stylish options for women of all shapes and sizes. Consider your proportions to select the right style for your body type. Consider your height: Longer shorts create the impression of shorter legs, while short shorts lengthen the leg, giving the impression of height. Play it safe. Women of most heights can find stylish and flattering shorts that hit around the mid-thigh. Consider the fit: Shorts that flare out toward the bottom, rather than hugging the thigh, are flattering for petite girls and curvy women alike. Long styles like mid-thigh shorts or Bermudas are best, while taller women might find longer shorts more appropriate. The large pockets on cargo pockets tend to draw attention to your hips and thighs. Instead, opt for shorts in fun bright colors, or with floral patterns. Dark-colored shorts are also slimming and can look both casual and sophisticated paired with the right shoes. Floral or tropical print shorts can be a fun and flashy addition to your wardrobe, especially in the summer months. Pick out prints that take up most of the fabric, letting the smallest amount of background color show between the prints to make them as flattering to your figure as possible. Increasingly stylish, popular, and flattering, high-wasted shorts are making a big come back. Experiment with fitted and looser styles to get a feel for what's the most slimming. If you've got a shorter torso or are especially busty, you might consider buying shorter waist-style shorts that will look similar on your body. Buy shorts that extend past the hip, but not quite up to the narrowest part of your waist. These are sometimes called "mid-rise" shorts and can be more flattering. Many women's styles feature bottoms that are quite short. While wearing short-shorts will elongate your legs and make them look longer, it's not always the most appropriate look for all occasions and is sometimes smarter to opt for a more conservative approach to the length of the shorts. Rule of thumb regarding length: Nothing but your legs should be sticking out from the bottom of your shorts. This goes for the pockets of jean shorts, underwear, and anything else your shorts cover. For a professional look, select high-waisted shorts that fit in with the fingertip rule. With the shorts on, let your arms fall loosely to your sides. The bottom of the shorts should be below your fingertips. When wearing high-wasted shorts, tuck your shirt in to elongate your stomach and raise your waist. With lower-cut shorts, it's usually best to leave your shirt untucked to avoid creating a dimple at the belt-line that can be somewhat unflattering. Pair brightly colored shorts with contrasting brightly colored tops to create a stylish look. Work within the same intensity palate, pairing pastels or neutral colors, say, and create a simple elegant look with shorts, appropriate especially for the summer.
Summary: Buy shorts that will flatter your figure. Look for shorts that have clean, straight lines. Pick print shorts with a print that is small and spaced close together. Go professional with high-wasted shorts. Wear shorts that are reasonably short. Tuck in your shirt for high-wasted shorts. Color-block.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: They can include muscle weakness, loss of mobility or acute pain in the neck. There may also be numbness, tingling or sharp pains radiating down the neck and into the arm, shoulder or hand, because the bulge is being compressed into the nerve. This has been shown to reduce swelling and decrease pain by numbing the area. Ice periodically for twenty minute periods throughout the first day or two. These include ibuprofen, aspirin or Aleve. Begin immediately after the pain starts. Take the anti-inflammatory regularly for a few days, but do not take more than 2400 mg per day. After the first day or two switch from icing the affected area to heating it. Use a bath, shower or hot towel to apply moist heat. This can help to calm the muscles. When a disc herniation occurs, the muscles surrounding the cervical spine often seize up. Typically a bulging disc will improve in a few days if allowed to recover. Bed rest is not required, but limiting rotation or bad posture for a few days and resting the neck by lying down occasionally should help.
Summary:
Learn to recognize the symptoms of a disc bulge. Ice your neck immediately after the pain occurs. Take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Switch to moist heat. Limit activities that affect your neck for a few days.
