INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you don't want to take a full bath, you can take a Sitz bath, where you sit in a few inches of water. Add about 1 cup of Epsom salts to a full bathtub and 2-3 tablespoons of Epsom salts for a few inches of water in the tub. Keep the water warm, but not too hot. Repeat 2-3 times a day. Using Epsom salts may also speed up the healing process. Get a clean, cotton wash cloth and soak it in warm (not hot) water. Apply the compress directly to the hemorrhoids for about 10-15 minutes. Repeat 4-5 times a day. This should offer some soothing comfort. You can use a cotton pad soaked in witch hazel after a bowel movement. Witch hazel acts as an astringent and may help reduce swelling. Repeat as often as needed--at least 4-5 times a day. After having a bowel movement, be sure that you clean yourself completely to avoid irritation. You might want to use baby wipes or a pre-moistened toilet paper product rather than dry toilet paper to clean yourself. An ice pack may help reduce your hemorrhoidal swelling but it should not be left on for too long; limit the ice pack use to 5-10 minutes at most each time. Find a foam cushion or a doughnut cushion to sit on. This can help relieve some of the pressure associated with hemorrhoids. While this will not aid in "curing" your hemorrhoids, it may help ease your discomfort and make them easier to live with. Keep in mind that hemorrhoids are caused by too much pressure on your veins.

SUMMARY: Take warm baths to soothe your hemorrhoid. Apply a warm compress for pain relief and comfort. Shrink the hemorrhoids with an astringent. Clean yourself thoroughly after using the restroom. Apply an ice pack for 5-10 minutes to relieve swelling and pain. Sit on a cushion to relieve the pressure on your hemorrhoids.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start by rolling two small balls of clay about the size of a pin head. Press each ball onto the sides of the angel's head, turning them into slight disks. Make them level with the dent, and position them closer to the face than to the back of the head. Use a clay tool, or another blunt-tipped tool, to blend in the front part of the ears towards the angel's face. Do not blend in the back of the ears. Choose some clay for your angel's hair. It can be yellow, brown, black, or even a surprising color, like pink or purple. Roll out your desired clay into a thin sheet. You can use an acrylic tube to do this, or simply press the clay between your fingers to make a "pancake." Use a toothpick to draw streaks into the clay going widthwise. Be sure to cover the top of the head as well. Don't cover the face. Smooth the top of the sheet over the top of the head. If you'd like to, you can add a parting crease with a toothpick. Roll out thin coils of clay, then attach them to the front of the hairline. They can be as long and wispy as you'd like. For a more realistic effect, have all the smaller hair pieces come from the start of the part. Consider adding some streaks to the bangs before you attach them to the head. To make curls: attach tip of coil to head, twist the other end into a coil, then position it using clay tools or a toothpick. To make blunt-cut or straight-across bangs: roll out a thin sheet of clay, then cut it down to a triangle or rectangle shape that will fill in the gap on the forehead. Press it onto the forehead.

SUMMARY: Add small balls of skin-toned clay for the ears. Blend the front part of the ears in only. Roll some hair-colored clay into a sheet and add streaks into it. Wrap the sheet around the angel's head to make the hair. Add smaller pieces for the bangs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sometimes, you don't notice oil stains until after you have already washed and dried the garment. Unfortunately, the heat of the dryer would have set the stain into the fabric. Luckily, it is still possible to remove the stain. Here is a list of what you will need to do this: Cardboard (recommended) WD-40 Baking soda Dish soap Old toothbrush Small bowl and Q-tips (for small stains) Washing machine Do not rinse the dish soap off; it will come off in the washer. If the stain is still there, let the garment air-dry, and try the method again. You can also take the item to a dry cleaner. Only when the stain is gone is it safe to put it into the dryer. This is because the heat of the dryer can set the stain.

SUMMARY: Gather your supplies. Wash the garment in the washing machine according to the tag. Make sure that the stain is gone before using the dryer.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is very rare for a child to lie about sexual abuse. If your child tells you that someone abused them, or even made them uncomfortable, believe them. You should trust what they tell you even if they are talking about a family member or someone you think you know very well. Children often have better instincts than adults. This could be because they are not as worried about being polite. Listen to your child if they tell you someone gives them bad vibes. When you're talking about abuse, you don't want to scare your child. Try to keep your voice calm and friendly. Try not to raise your voice. Even if you are upset, try to play it cool. Your child will be more receptive to your words if you don't seem upset or angry. Explain to your child that they have parts of their body that are private. Teach them the proper terms for their body parts so that they can ask questions and voice concerns about touching. Let your child know that no one should touch their private parts unless it is someone providing medical care. Explain that a trusted adult should be present if they are receiving some sort of care. Tell your child that if someone asks to look at or touch their private parts they should tell a trusted adult as soon as possible. You can say, "If someone asks you if they can see your vagina, you should say no. Then go find someone like me or a teacher that you like and tell them that someone made you uncomfortable." Teach your child that no one should show them their own private parts. Say, "Other people shouldn't want you to look at their penis. If someone tries to do that say "no" and go find a grown up you trust." Let your child know that it is okay to say "no" if someone makes them uncomfortable. They can say, "No, don't do that, I don't like it." You can tell them, "It is okay to have boundaries when you are playing or when someone is trying to touch you. Let them know if you don't like what they're doing." Say, "If someone makes you scared or uncomfortable, find a grown up that you trust and tell them what happened." Talk openly about sexual abuse and sexuality. Say, "It's okay to talk to me and ask questions. Don't worry, you're not going to get in trouble if you tell me someone made you feel scared." Tell kids not to keep secrets for other adults. Let them know they should tell you if someone asks them to keep something a secret.

SUMMARY:
Trust what your child tells you. Use a casual tone when discussing bad situations. Explain inappropriate touching. Teach your child about setting boundaries.
