Q: Just as you would for a straightforward base oil application, comb through dry hair to work out any tangles. You hair can be just-washed or on its second or third day out from your last shampooing. Spread old towels or paper towels around to protect against oil splatter. Essential oils are too strong to apply in large amounts directly to the scalp. Even with this diluted delivery system, you may feel a strange tingling sensation in your scalp. Don't worry it's perfectly normal. It just means the essential oil is doing its work! Pour a teaspoon of your chosen carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Add 2-3 drops of your chosen essential oil. Rub your hands together to mix the oils and spread them over your palms and fingertips. If you want to make a larger batch, mix 1 tablespoon (15mL) of essential oil into .25 cups (59mL) of carrier oil. The essential oils won't be useful on the shaft and ends of your hair. You should target your scalp, follicles, and hair roots with them. Using your fingertips, massage the oils into your scalp. Remember to treat the entire scalp, not just the top of your head. Using a wide-tooth comb, comb through your hair to both detangle it. This will also spread the oil through any hairs that didn't get treated by your fingers. Split your hand down the middle so you can work with your hair in two sections, rather than tackling it all at once. Pour a teaspoon of your base/carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together again to spread it out over your palms and fingertips. If you are using castor oil, mix teaspoon of castor oil with teaspoon of a thinner, lighter oil (like grapeseed oil). Castor oil is thick and gloopy on its own. Run your fingers and palms through your hair to transfer the oil. Begin where the essential and carrier oil treatment ends, closer to your scalp. Run your hands down to the ends of your hair. Work your way all the way through one section of hair, remembering to pay attention to the hair on the back of your head. Give the second section of hair the same treatment.
A: Prepare your hair and work area. Mix your carrier and essential oil. Rub the mixture into your roots and scalp. Comb through your hair again and section it into two parts. Apply the base/carrier oil to the length of your hair.

Article: For temporary flare-ups of inflammation, NSAIDs like ibuprofen can be effective. If inflammation is causing joint paint or a headache, for instance, use an NSAID as directed by the bottle and see if it helps reduce your pain. NSAIDs are not meant to be taken for long periods of time, however, so they may not be suitable for treating chronic inflammation. Speak with your doctor about using NSAIDs for more than 10 days to treat inflammation. Be cautious of taking NSAIDs frequently if you are at risk of getting stomach ulcers. Some preconditions that might make you at risk include being a smoker or having kidney failure. If over-the-counter NSAIDs have little effect on your condition or you need medication for chronic inflammation, ask your doctor about possible prescription drugs you can take. Some of these may be more powerful or safer to take for longer periods of time than over-the-counter drugs. Some common prescription pain relievers include Celebrex and Vioxx. Medication that fights inflammation can have negative side effects on your stomach, liver, or kidneys. Your doctor may even ask you to take regular blood tests when taking these pills. Follow all of your doctor's orders and let them know immediately if you think something is wrong. For instance, if you're having stomach pain or nausea, this could be a side effect of medication.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Talk to your doctor about taking prescription medication for a stronger effect. Communicate with your doctor regularly when taking medication.

Problem: Article: In the past, you could be the best player on your team in your senior year of high school and that would be enough to secure you a scholarship. Things have changed and colleges now try to identify players much earlier than before. Aim to play on your school's basketball team all throughout high school to increase the chances of getting a scholarship. Practice as often as possible, and make sure you practice the right way. Instead of shooting randomly at the hoop, practice specific drills to improve your skills. For instance, set a goal to make 10 free throws in a row before you move onto another drill. The Amateur Athletic Union promotes amateur sports in the United States. While playing on your high school team is vital for getting a scholarship, you can increase your chances by joining a team outside of school as well. Not only will you be playing more basketball, you'll also be able to develop your game by playing with different players. Playing for more than one team will show college recruiters that you are dedicated, driven, and have a passion for the sport. The AAU breaks their teams down into age groups. It has 17-and-under and 15-and-under teams. Tournaments that are sponsored by the AAU are sometimes called high-profile recruiting camps because collegiate basketball programs rely on the tournaments to scout the best players in a central location. You can find the Amateur Athletic Union website here: http://aausports.org/. Summer camps and showcase events are attended by coaches from colleges across the United States. You can use these events to stand out and show your talent in front of these coaches, all of whom are looking to recruit some talent for their college teams. You can also talk to and develop connections with coaches at these events. You can find details for camps in your area at the following website: http://www.basketballcampsusa.com/. The NCAA website contains details of the most elite basketball showcase camps: https://web3.ncaa.org/bbcs/publishedEvents.
Summary: Play basketball as much as you can to improve your game. Join an Amateur Athletic Union team in your area. Attend summer camps to grab coaches' attention.

Q: Try a bold color like red, or a color like black that will look silly if it's chipped because you're biting your nails. If you don't like color, polish them and apply some shine and growth promoter or petroleum jelly. It's harder to bite nails that are looking great. This is another great way to keep your nails covered. Get your nails professionally manicured, which involves getting acrylics glued to your nails. They last for ages and when you get them taken off, you will have your real natural nails underneath. If you're really determined, you can get a particularly expensive manicure with artificial nails. This will make you feel even worse about biting your nails and ruining your pricey look. Keep gloves in your back pocket and wear them when you want to bite. This will motivate you even more if it's the middle of summer and you look ridiculous wearing gloves. If you're writing or doing something else that is particularly tough to do with gloves, you will be even more motivated to stop biting your nails. Remind yourself that if you didn't have a nail-biting problem, that you wouldn't need to wear the gloves.
A:
Cover your nails with nail polish. Wear fake nails. Cover your nails by wearing gloves.
