Can tea tree oil in the bath tub help clear up a yeast infection in a baby?

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 02:28:06 +0000

My daughter has a yeast infection and I’ve heard that a bit of tea tree oil in the bath tub can take care of it. What is the ratio of tea tree oil to water to clear it up? Is it possible to put too much? How long does she need to be in the water for this to be effective? I’ve also got her on a pro-biotic and bare bottomed. Any other suggestions?

it is amazing how little these responders know about tea tree oil. it does not mix with water so a drop in water is silly. it is so gentle that that it COULD be applied to the skin directly without carrier oil.If you mix the tea tree oil in carrier oil before you put it in the tub it will not glom it will spread around nicely. also it is absorbed through the skin so direct application is not needed. so what to do? mix 6 drops TT oil into a small amount of carrier oil like safflower or sunflower or grape seed or jojoba but NOT cooking oil like corn or canola. Put the mix in the tub of warm water and swish it around. child could stay in the tub for maybe 10 minutes. do not use a lot of TT oil because it has to be processed by the liver and it could overburden the liver and cause some problems. but 6 drops in a tub is fine. all oils can affect a person with seizure disorder. and last if you are pregnant don’t swish the water with your hand as all oils can possibly cause a problem. other than those 3 issues oils are really safe and TT along with Lavender are among the safest. read up on TT oil at Camdengrey.com

How much oil does Texas export to other countries a year plus how much does Venezuela export to other country?

admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 03:07:25 +0000

I am working on a project about oil exports. I need to know how much oil that Texas exports to other countries. And i also need to know the same thing for Venezuela. I’ve tried getting these numbers by searching but I can’t get a good figure. If you could leave me a figure for both and also put in a hyperlink to the source where you found the information. Thanks

hi
u can find a good article about it

How do you remove oil from small metal parts other than scrubbing?

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:47:47 +0000

I have a large pile of small metal drum parts that are completely covered in what appears to be motor oil. I have removed the oil from the larger parts with Simple Green and a scrub brush but I’m definitely not looking forward to cleaning the smaller parts that way because it’ll be very labor intensive.

Does anyone have any ideas on other ways to remove the oil? Are there any household products that I can soak the parts in that will remove all or at least some of the oil? Boil them? Any products that aren’t too toxic?

Thanks.

Brake parts cleaner, it comes in a spray can at any parts store.

What is the best type of oil to use for cooking other than olive oil?

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:57:25 +0000

Im looking 4 a healthy type of oil 2 use 4 at home cooking instead of vegtable oil and i know olive oil is great but what else is the best after olive oil?

Grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, or avocado oil are all good. They have very high burning temperatures. Canola oil is OK, but it has a low burning temperature, which means it isn’t good for frying, and I don’t like the taste. All three are healthy, and sunflower oil (safflower is similar) is probably the healthiest of all.

How does Boysen oil tinting colors differ from artists’ oil colors in terms of composition?

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:11:35 +0000

Also, I want to know what kind of oil is the vehicle of Boysen oil tinting colors.

http://www.boysen.com.ph/oncolors.shtml

They are not oil, they are alkyd. That means that, in addition to oil, there is a resin of some kind in there. I’m guessing it will be a petroleum-based vehicle, not the linseed oil in artists’ oils. If you want to know the exact composition, you’ll have to read the side of the can, or contact Boysen.

You’ve asked about this product before. Again—they are designed to tint HOUSE PAINT. It is probably a fine product when used for its intended purpose, which is to mix evenly into a gallon of house paint. If you want to use them for painting canvases, go ahead. But the Boysen people are not creating art supplies, and were probably not concerned with things like how these colors will mix on a palette, or how well they will adhere to a canvas (the house paint is supposed to do the adhering), or how lightfast or colorfast they are (housepaint isn’t meant to last forever).

If you’re determined to prove these tinting colors will perform as well as oil paint for a lot less money, no one can stop you. But it would be ethical to disclose to anyone who wants to buy your work that you used housepaint tints, not oil paint.

Personally, as a professional, I would prefer to work in a less expensive REAL medium rather than waste precious money and time experimenting with a product of such dubious quality and permanence.

How do you discard the oil that you used for deepfrying?

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 07:06:34 +0000

This might be an absurd question. But in Japan, there is this powder that can harden oil. I just need to mix the powder into oil and the oil gets solid so I can just scoop it out and toss it into a garbage can. But in the states, how do you discard the oil that you used for deepfrying?

My friend actually gives his to someone that runs his car on it. The guy runs around to restraunts too and they give oil to him. This might be an idea, there might be a drop off place, otherwise at your local home improvement store you’ll find a product called Exorbant. It soak up the oil, into the powder, and you can toss out.

What will happen if you put new oil into a car without draining the old oil or changing the filter?

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 06:52:41 +0000

it is a Chrysler Town and country,

and my friends mom thinks it is alright to just add new oil where it says engine oil, without draining the oil, or changing the oil filter.

and she did it even though i tol her not to, causing the "engine oil" tube to overflow

thoughts?
I know, she is stupid.

Ohh Very bad !!! you should never fill the crankcase with more oil than the full mark on the dipstick…The pistons will slap on the oil causing it to froth then massive air gets in the pump bad bad bad then It blows the crank seals and pushes to much oil up on top of the head causing major valve cover leaking and maybe sucking oil in the vacum ports more bad bad… she should not drive it like this.. have someone remove the oil where it sits install a new filter and 4.5 quarts of oil. then check the dipstick after it runs about 3-4 minutes then top it off to the max fill line on the dipstick ….Thats it

Can i use olive oil instead of vegetable oil in my cake recipe?

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 05:02:37 +0000

I have olive oil which is mixed with canola oil but no veggie oil. And what can i use to substitute eggs in a cake?

I’ve tried using olive oil in my baked products. It came out pretty good. It is more expensive this way though but what can you do if it’s the only thing in your pantry. No need to get a vegetable oil. You can even melt butter for the equivalent amount needed for your cake. In most cakes/cookies etc., I just use melted butter. It’ll come out more delicious.
But, I’ve never substituted for eggs if they are listed in the recipe. I try to look for a recipe that don’t use eggs if I’m out. There are recipes of cakes (you can find them online) that don’t use eggs.

From looking online, though, I’ve found this:

What is a good substitute for eggs?
For: 1 egg in baking
Use: 1 tsp cornstarch plus 1/4 cup water
or
Ener-G Egg Replacer – follow directions on box.
2 tbsp corn starch = 1 egg
2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg
2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg
1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg
1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg.
1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.

What is the best oil for your hair, and skin between coconut, jojoba and almond oil?

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 05:45:47 +0000

I’ve been researching, but still can’t get a simple answer. I’ve read a lot of good things about jojoba. Also for grapeseed oil, not so much about anything else. Almond oil works reallly good for my hair, jojoba works good for my skin as well as coconut, but the only problem is that i want one oil that can do it all.

While all the oils you mentioned are suitable for both hair and skin, I believe jojoba would be your best bet. Jojoba oil has been shown to be chemically similar to the oils found on your scalp and skin (called sebum), so it makes sense that jojoba oil would be the best choice. Having very long, fine, straight hair I find that I achieve the best results by using jojoba oil. It’s fairly light in comparison to coconut, but appears to leave my hair with a better texture than grapeseed or almond oil.

So, in the end, while all the oils you listed are good for your hair/skin, jojoba would probably be your best bet given it’s chemical makeup.

How do I change the oil pressure switch on a 1996 Chrysler Concorde?

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:56:28 +0000

I have the 3.3ltr V-6 and it has 119000 miles. The oil light comes on when I idle after the engine is warm. It is not low on oil although it does use a quart between oil changes. My best guess is the oil pressure switch. How do I change it? A link to a diagram would be nice too.
How much of a problem is worn engine bearings? The car seems to be running fine.

A special socket that’s available at any parts store is all that’s needed. Just locate the sending unit and unscrew it from the engine block. I’m presuming you have located the sending unit on the engine block. If it isn’t on top of the engine block, it’s usually located near the oil filter.

I don’t think your low oil pressure is a fault of the switch. My experience is that when these go bad, they fail completely (light on all the time). Worn engine bearings is probably the main reason for low oil pressure.
