I need something to put in my kids room that will last strong all night long for their congestion and coughing from the cold and flu. I was using Sudacare vapor plugs but they are not as natural or beneficial as pure aromatherapy oils would be. There are so many different methods. I dont want to spend more than maybe 50 dollars on a device. I cant see that the tea light burners would work well enought or long enough and i dont want to leave a candle unattended at night. I want to be able to leave it on..have it work all night without starting a fire. What method would be best -The room is small - probly 12' by 14'.

What oils do you use for cold and flu? Eucalyptus and Rosemary i read are good.
links would be great.
Thanks.

My ears have been ringing for at least the past six hours. It's not the TV; they began to ring when I woke up this morning (before I turned the TV on) and remain long after I turn the TV off. Could this be an ear infection? My ears don't hurt..

Thanks in advance for your answers!

i am currently 27, i started to noticed hairloss at the age 22 a few days after i got a haircut. i was touching my hair and noticed hair in my hand all of a sudden, then a short time after that this itching sensation began on my head and the hairloss increased as well. through out the last 5 years i have lost hair everyday and the itching sensation never left either, at times it gets really bad and thats when alot of hair seems to fall out as well as getting these little pimples on my scalp and some red iritated lumps that either hurt or itch? then it dies down after a week or so then my hairloss will kind of stop you could say for a few days but my scalp then is dry and alot of dandruff sets in, but no hair on the pillow in the mourning or hair in my hand when i shampoo, then it starts again. ! its like a cycle?? as of now im not bald and still have alot of hair on my head, with all the hair i have lost i should be bald? but its not as thick though, what could this problem be??

I want to loose weight but I can't. I'm always hungry, and sometimes if I'm bored I'll just eat just because. When I exercise my muscles build up and I gain more pounds because of muscle! I have a slow metabolism I'm guessing. I'm 14, what can I do at home. REMEMBER IM FOURTEEN SO NO PILLS AND STUFF. QUESTIONS:

HOW CAN I LOOSE WEIGHT EXERCISING WITHOUT INCREASING MUSCLE?
WHAT CAN I DO TO TAKE MY MIND OFF FOOD?
WHAT MEALS WILL KEEP ME FULL LONGER?
HOW CAN I BOOST MY METABOLISM

My husband bought a drain cleaner called Liquid Fire that is a concentrated form of sulfuric acid. He said we would probably have to wait until the kids were out of the house. I asked him if it was because it smelled bad, and he said "Yeah.". I told him we should at least wait until the kids went to bed. So the kids are in bed, and he used it. The whole front prtion of our house smells like this stuff. This was an hour ago. At the moment I am dizzy from breathing it and feel like I am going to vomit. I read the label and it says nothing about any harmful effects of breathing the fumes, only skin contact and eye contact, and swallowing. So what's going on? Is it really safe to be breathing this? Anyone know anything about sulfuric acid?

not all protien is good for you, believe it or not. for example soy protiens are filled with antinutriends like lectins, isoflamones, and two others i cant remeber that bind to other nutrients in your body like vitiman D, copper, calicum, zinc, iron, magnesium, and block absorbtion in the intestines, causing vitiman and mineral defeciencys.... but the protien in meat contains no antinutrients (only in wheat, soy, milk, and other grain products) so its 100 percent safe....

so where does whey come from?

i have no direction in life, i give up on my goals all the time, everything seems pointless really (even life itself), i'm dependent of others, i don't see myself being a responsible mature adult ever, i've never been interested enough in anything to develope any hobbies or passions for life. also i'm pretty sure i didn't learn anything in highschool though i tried. it takes me forever just to stay focused and read a paragraph. i'm not stupid i just get distracted. but i have self-esteem problems so maybe that's why i'm so bad at writing. does this make me unmotivated and inattentive or just depressed?

I have Night and Day "up to 30 nights continuous wear" disposable soft contact lenses ..... I kind of lost track of how long I'd been wearing them ... I left them in for more than a month like it says. I certainly don't plan on intentionally doing that again. The only thing that happened was they got dry and uncomfortable... I'm wondering how badly I can damage my eyes if I keep that up. I'm trying to be more organized and writing down when I put each pair in and stuff .... How bad can that be, though?
