BubbleWrap Search The Renewable Energy site for Do-It-Yourselfers Installation Cut the bubble wrap to the size of the window pane with scissors. Spray a film of water on the window using a spray bottle. If you have trouble with the bubble wrap separating from the window when the film dries, you can try adding a little Glycerin to the water, but this probably won't be necessary. A few small pieces of double back tape can be helpful on really stubborn windows. The bubblewrap can be installed in the fall, and removed in the spring. When you take the bubble wrap down, put a small number in on the upper right corner of each piece of bubble wrap, and write down which window that number goes with on a piece of paper.

How To Make Hot Pepper Cream For Arthritis And Joint Pain Please Share This Page: Google + stumbleupon tumblr reddit If you are a first-time visitor, please be sure to like us on Facebook and receive our exciting and innovative tutorials on herbs and natural health topics! Image (with permission) – Everydayroots.com Here’s an idea that I at first found surprising – and then fascinating. Who would have thought that hot peppers – noted for their fiery taste and ability to add kick to anything graced with their presence – could act as painkillers by topical application? Hot peppers contain a substance called capsaicin. It turns out that capsaicin acts to deplete a substance in the body called Substance P (that’s its actual name!). In short, what this means is that capsaicin may function as a painkiller through topical application! Our good friends at Everyday Roots have posted three formulas for Homemade Hot Pepper Creams for Arthritis & Joint Pain. A couple of safety tips: 1) of course – be VERY careful not to get this stuff in your eyes.

Comment fabriquer soi-même ses huiles essentielles Toutvert Nous autres amoureux de la nature apprécions beaucoup les huiles essentielles, ces produits faits maison recommandés pour notre bien-être comme celui de notre intérieur. Pour extraire les huiles, les laboratoires spécialisés procèdent soit par distillation à la vapeur (d’eau), soit par centrifugeuse (à pression pour les agrumes, au regard de leurs écorces). Processus compliqués et difficilement transposables chez soi. Le matériau végétal est humidifié par la vapeur ; ses tissus végétaux se rompent, libérant l’huile essentielle ; la vapeur emporte l’huile essentielle ; toutes deux sont ensuite refroidies dans un échangeur, et se séparent alors facilement. SUR LE MÊME THÈME : Recettes de shampoing à base de pois chiches et de poudre d’argile Par facilité, partons d’une huile d’olive, disponible dans toute cuisine qui se respecte, et d’une tasse de 250ml pour nos mesures.

How to Make Homemade Extracts - Vanilla, Lemon and Almond I do a fair amount of baking, especially once the weather gets cooler, so I figured I could save quite a bit of money if I learned how to make homemade extracts. It turns out it couldn’t be much simpler – the biggest skill required is patience – and I can have plenty of extract for pennies on the dollar compared to buying high quality extract. This post covers how to make the three homemade extracts I use the most – vanilla, almond and lemon. Always make sure all your containers and kitchenware are well cleaned. If you want, you can sterilize by boiling for ten minutes, plus one minute per every 1000 feet above sea level. How to Make Homemade Vanilla Extract Use 2 ounces of beans and one pint vodka for every pint of extract that you want to make. Chop the beans into 1/4 to 1/2 inch long pieces. Place the cut vanilla beans in a lidded, glass jar with 80 proof (40% alcohol by weight) vodka. Shake the bottle once a day for at least a month, and you have homemade vanilla extract.
