Place the baking soda, cream of tartar, cornstarch, and salts into the bowl. Avoid using plastic bowls and spoons, as plastic can soak up essential oils. This won't affect your bath bomb, but the plastic will probably smell like soap for a very long time. The sodium citrate stays in solution and you don’t really notice it, but the carbon dioxide bubbles out as a gas that helps the bath bomb break up. How it works it’s When a bath bomb comes in contact with water, the baking soda and citric acid react to make carbon dioxide bubbles. This is an acid–base reaction, where baking soda is a weak base and citric acid is a weak acid i think by adding more citric acid and baking soda that it will fizz more than normal because it will have a bigger chemical reaction Hypothesis i think by adding more citric acid and baking soda that it will fizz more than normal because it will have a bigger chemical reaction.

Address for correspondence: Manisha Pandey, Department of Pharmaceutics, Babu Banarasi Das National Institute of Technology and Management, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh – 227105, India. E-mail: manisha_2929@yahoo.co.in The concept of nutraceutical was stared from the survey in U.K., Germany and France which concluded that diet is rated more highly by consumers than exercise or hereditary factors for achieving good health. Nutraceutical is a term coined to describe substances which are not traditionally recognized nutrients but which have positive physiological effects on the human body. They do not easily fall into the legal category of food and drug and often inhabit a grey area between the two. Risk of toxicity or adverse effect of drugs led us to consider safer nutraceutical and functional food based approaches for the health management. This resulted in a world wide nutraceutical revolution. The nutraceutical revolution will lead us into a new era of medicine and health, in which the food industry will become a researchoriented one similar to the pharmaceutical industry. Keywords: Nutraceuticals, Medicine, Functional foods. INTRODUCTION The quality of life in terms of income, spending and...

Here at Charms Elite Homeless Shelter we understand that your term is almost up, but we strongly urge you to think about our adjure. Nobody knows exactly how many homeless people there are altogether. Estimation varies widely because the population is constantly changing with people becoming homeless and homeless people finding shelter. Although we are unaware of the exact population we do know some statistics about our homeless. About 1.5 million of these children may experience acute and chronic health problems. These children have four times as many respiratory problems, five times more gastrointestinal problems, and four times more likely to have asthma. 41% of these children have families, but 1/3 of these children’s parents can’t get a job because of their living situation.

...You have just witness “bro science” in action. It’s wellintended. It can also be deadly. The difference between 5 grams and 5 micrograms, depending on the substance, can indeed be the difference between life and death. Where should one get such information? From qualified sources, of course. Not from your bro. Want to know about proper dosage? Look in the medical literature and find out what dosages have been shown through experimentation to render the desired effects. Want to know about a proper manufacturing method? Then you need to read technical manuals written by actual engineers. As much as possible, I’ve pointed you to more qualified sources of information than myself throughout this guide. I’ve deliberately left out information about dosages in order to force you to use this as a starting point rather than a definitive resource. At the same time, I’m obviously encouraging DIY experimentation. Allow me to clear up the apparent contradiction. See, I intend for this report to be, among other things, a bit of a shot across the bow of the troubled ship that is the nutritional supplement industry. Here’s a field that can do so much good but that exhibits so little true innovation. When anyone can privatelabel the same substandard supplements everyone else is selling and “win with better marketing,” it doesn’t seem there’s much incentive to raise the bar. The best way to shake up such a market is to educate the buyers. When consumers are aware of...

...Professional Presence and Influence C351 WGU Sarah Belmont Healthcare, and Medicine is advancing more and more each day. As healthcare workers, our understanding of health and healing has improved and changed in the way we care for our patients. Dossey believed in the three eras of medicine. Era 1 began in the 1800s and its focus was solely on the body. The belief that healing and overall health are totally physical. The therapies and treatment were either medications or surgical procedures. The thought that healing all humans based on bodily functions, and how they can be treated will change as time changes. Era 2 began in the 1950s and it focused on the mind and body. Health care providers realized that feelings, emotions, and attitudes impacted health. The mind is boundless and it affects a human’s body. (Dossey, n.d) The mind can play tricks and be your own worst enemy if not properly addressed and treated. Although, the world continues to evolve with healthcare and the approach in which we care for patients, there is still much to learn. Mind and body is similar in my professional presence with regards to using your mind to analyze and be aware of each patient’s similarities and differences. Having a positive attitude and mind will help make better choices for your health and well-being. I have adapted a more positive outlook and added prayer to my personal life. Doing certain procedures with Veterans to diagnose and stage cancer has been eye...

...disturbing side effects. For example: the chickens become extremely overweight. This reaches the point where their legs cannot even hold up their bodies. This causes them to fall over and eventually die. Some of the chickens that make it past the farms and into the grocery store can carry bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses and can even cause cancer. Defenders of the use of the arsenic-containing antibiotics argue that with the use of these antibiotics, money can be saved not only by the company, but also for the consumers. The question becomes whether or not antibiotics containing arsenic should be used to produce chickens. Until about 1960, chicken production would just be something people would do in the backyard to provide food for their family. These chickens were just used to supply the meat to be eaten for Sunday dinner ("Poultry Farming…”). It has since grown tremendously. With the discovery of vitamin...

...calling guided by a sense of commitment and covenantal ethic of human service; cherishing our phenomena, our subject matter and those we serve. It is when we include caring and love in our work and our life we discover and affirm that nursing, like teaching is more than just a job but a life giving and life receiving career for a lifetime of growth and learning” (Watson, J. 1978). There have been many different individual thoughts and theories on what it means to be human and how to provide a healing presence. According to Koerner “western medicine traditionally conceptualized the body as a grand machine controlled by the brain and central nervous system” (Koerner, J.G. 2011). In a sense a living computer! “Physiologic and psychologic behaviors were considered dependent on structure and hardware of the brain and body” (Koerner, J.G. 2011). Healthcare and how we take care of people have changed over the years with the different advancements in medicine and psychology. Health and healing is not only seen as physical but also includes mind, spirit and biopsychosocial including cultural factors. These aspects helped shape the different modalities of how we take care of patients. Larry Dossey has described three different models of health and healing. Era I according to Dossey is the Mechanical Era, in this Era health and healing was considered to be more physical in nature. Healers believed that a person’s health was determined by physical factors. Era II not only was health and healing...

...Infant Feeding in the Context of HIV FACILITATOR’S MANUAL TOSOUTH SOUTH THE SOUTH TO SOUTH PARTNERSHIP FOR COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY HIV CARE AND TREATMENT PROGRAM (S2S) South Africa has the largest HIV burden of any country in the world, with an estimated 5.7 million people living with the virus. Women and children remain at the centre of the pandemic in terms of transmission, vulnerability and potential for impact. To continue to build on the existing successes of South Africa’s antiretroviral (ARV) program, the capacity for HIV disease management must be enhanced. It is essential that HIV disease management transition from an individual case management to a family-centred and chronic-care approach targeting and prioritising pregnant women and children. Enrolling pregnant women and children into HIV care and treatment early and regularly can prevent new HIV infections and reduce morbidity and mortality, effectively sustaining the quality of life of mothers, their children, and their families. The scale up of effective prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and paediatric ARV care and treatment programs are crucial in the fight against HIV but are challenged by many factors including perceived complexity of treating pregnant women and children, inadequate paediatric and PMTCT knowledge and clinical skills, lack of psychosocial and adherence support, delays in integrating PMTCT services with antenatal and child health management systems, and gaps in referral...
