Q: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen provide very effective pain relief for cramps. NSAIDs tend to work quickly, easing the pain within half an hour or so. They are available over-the-counter in most countries. Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. Generally, you can take 400-600mg every four to six hours as needed. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is another option that can help with the pain of menstrual cramps. It can be used in addition to NSAIDs as they work via different mechanisms in your body. Tylenol and ibuprofen should be alternated and not used together at the same time. If over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen are insufficient to control your pain, you can speak to your physician for a prescription-strength alternative which may be more effective in controlling your menstrual pain. Do not take aspirin if you are under 19-years-old without first consulting your doctor. Aspirin may cause a rare but serious condition called Reye's syndrome. Menstrual cramps are located in the uterus, which contracts to release its lining when you have your period. The uterus, like any muscle, relaxes in response to warm temperatures, so applying some heat to your abdomen may help relieve cramps. Fill a hot water bottle and lay it across your stomach while you are resting. Let it sit for as long as you'd like. Make sure you do not fall asleep while the heating pad is on you. Another option is to draw a warm bath and soak for about half an hour. Try to relax your muscles in response to the warm water. Massaging your abdominal region and lower back is a great way to loosen the muscle tension and to relieve cramps. Place your hands over your stomach or back and gently knead the area. A vibrating self-massaging tool applied to your back can also help, or you could ask a partner to massage you. Depending on how you feel about having sex while on your period (and also what part of your period you are on for instance, it is easier to have sex in the final few days when your blood flow is lighter), consider having sex to relieve pain from menstrual cramps. The chemicals released in your body during sex act as pain-relievers, and can also help to relax the muscles in that area of your body. Tea can help to settle your stomach and to relieve aching muscles. Certain types of tea have properties that can relax the uterus and help to get rid of painful cramping. Brew yourself a pot of one of these types of tea: Raspberry leaf, which eases muscle cramps Cramp bark, which relaxes the uterus Dong Quai, which soothes the nervous system.
A: Try pain medication. Apply heat. Massage the area. Have sex. Drink hot tea.

Q: Mix one tablespoon baking soda and two cups (473 milliliters) water, adjusting the ratio as needed in order to get a paste that's spreadable. Rub the mixture on the rust spot in the direction of the grain with a clean cloth. Rinse and wipe the rusty area with a damp paper towel. If possible, submerge the entire rusty stainless steel object in a tall cup of vinegar. This works best with, for instance, cutlery or jewelry. If you can't submerge the stainless steel object, or the rusty portion of it, fill a spray bottle with vinegar and spray an even coat of vinegar onto the rusty stainless steel object you're interested in cleaning. Wait five minutes after applying the vinegar. Wipe the rust with a damp sponge. Distilled white vinegar is best for this, but any type of vinegar will do. Alternately, you could pour or spray a bit of vinegar onto a soft scrubbing pad and use it to gently wipe away the rust. Mix equal amounts of lemon juice and baking soda to form a paste. For instance, you might choose to combine one tablespoon of lemon juice and one tablespoon of baking soda. Coat the rust with the paste, then use a damp sponge to scrub the rust away. If the rust remains after one application, let the paste sit on the rust for 15-30 minutes, then scrub it away with a damp sponge. Lime juice is a viable substitute for lemon juice in this solution. Combine one tablespoon of cream of tartar with a few drops of lemon juice. Cover the rusty spots on your stainless steel object with the paste. Using a soft sponge, rub the paste firmly over the rust. Wipe away with a damp sponge. Dry with a dish cloth. Squirt a bit of lighter fluid onto a clean dish cloth. Scrub the rust spot using the cloth. Because lighter fluid is flammable, this option should be used only as a last resort. Thoroughly wipe the lighter fluid away with a damp sponge after cleaning the rust. Do not clean rust off stainless steel with lighter fluid if you are near an open flame.
A: Make a baking soda paste. Coat the rust with vinegar. Clean the rust with lemon juice. Create a paste from the cream of tartar. Use lighter fluid to clean the rust.

Q: After at least 12 hours, wipe away the baking soda paste and grime from your oven surfaces. Use a damp dish cloth to remove this solid residue as best as possible. You can use a plastic or silicone spatula to gently remove paste that may have become hardened or stuck in a hard-to-reach place. Don't worry about getting oven surfaces completely clean and dry in this step. Focus on removing the built-up food and residue and most of the baking soda paste. Spray down the oven surfaces with water and wipe away any remaining residue of food stains or baking soda with a damp or dry cloth. You can also spray white vinegar for this step before wiping down. If using vinegar, spray it lightly onto any areas that have some remaining baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly from the resulting chemical reaction. Make sure to remove all signs of baking soda as best as possible before using your oven again. Baking soda left in contact with a heating element tends to smoke badly when the oven is turned on. Apply more baking soda and water/vinegar to let sit if stubborn stains still persist after the first application. You can apply baking soda to just the location of the stain if necessary. You can try applying baking soda directly to a wet sponge or other scrubbing material to rub right on the stain for removal. If scrubbing is unsuccessful, re-treat with the baking soda paste overnight. Use another oven cleaning product if you wish, but the combination of baking soda, water, and 12+ hours to sit is typically effective for nearly all stubborn oven stains.
A: Wipe residue away with a damp cloth. Spray and wipe surfaces again. Repeat the process if necessary.

Q: Patches containing salicylic acid are available which you can put on the callus. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your doctor's recommendations for how often to change the patch. These medications must be applied carefully, because if they come in contact with the healthy, live skin around the callus, they may cause chemical burns. Do not use these methods if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or are prone to numbness. In this case, consult your doctor. By crushing up aspirin tablets, you can make your own topical medicine and apply it. Grind five aspirin tablets into a powder and add a half teaspoon lemon juice and a half teaspoon water. Mix until a paste forms. Apply the paste to the callus, not to the healthy, live skin surrounding it. Wrap it in plastic wrap and put a warm towel on it for 10 minutes. Afterwards scrub away the paste and any loose dead skin. The doctor will be able to examine it to confirm that it is a callus. The doctor may prescribe a stronger medication to get rid of the callus. In extreme cases, the doctor may remove it with a scalpel. Calluses generally are not associated with infection, so if yours shows any of these symptoms, it should be examined by a doctor: Redness Pain Inflammation Discharging blood or pus
A:
Try over-the-counter medications for removing calluses. Apply aspirin as an alternative source of salicylic acid. See a doctor if these methods do not help. Contact a medical professional if your callus shows signs of being infected.
