Self-defence with what you have in hand

Mar 20, 2017

2226

While defending yourself you can always use things that are near you. You need to assess your situation and find out if you can use something very normal to your advantage. This is a skill and you need to learn it. Any effective training will have this component because it is vitally important to understand things around you and be able to use them as weapons when necessary. Improvised weapons can help you to defend yourself better in a mortally critical situation.

Let's take an example. If you have the pencil with you, do you know that you can use it as a deadly weapon? You can use the pencil as a tool and weapon. Even though it cannot cut, slash or bludgeon, or cannot fire a projectile and will not explode, even then it has great potentiality as a weapon. Observation and assessment of the pencil can help you to understand how to use it as a weapon whenever necessary. It has a good point and it is also long enough to offer you a full grip. So, you can use the pencil to stab your attacker. But since it is thin and there is a possibility that it may break, you will need to provide as much support as you can using your grip so that you can use the stabbing power of the point to the full extent possible.

It will need some practice for you to use the pencil as a weapon. But with little bit of practice it is possible to use the pencil and for that matter the pen you carry with you. Once you learn how to use the pencil, you can also use other similar items like pen, chopsticks and other items. It is possible and easy to carry a pen or a pencil. You can take them into places where other personal weapons are not permitted.

Observation and assessment

Observation and assessment are very important to use any type of items as weapons. By simply observing and assessing the pencil, you are able to use it as a weapon. When you observe and assess other items around you, you will find that many of them can be used as weapons during critical situations whenever the need arises. You need the proper frame of mind to find out the items you can use as weapons.

Another advantage

Another advantage with such weapons is that when you have such items, you never seem to be armed at all. Those are the common items available everywhere and so it seems that you are not armed even though you have them. But being an observation and assessment expert, you know that such mundane things can also be used as weapons whenever the need arises. Since you never seem to be armed, you are not calling attention to yourself. You can move through different security zones and even bad areas of the town without attracting anyone. There won't be any inconvenience to you because you will seem like a normal person without any weapons at all.

It is like being invisible armed. Even though you are armed and you have the expertise to use any type of item as a weapon, you don't look like armed. You are never empty-handed and vulnerable to any security threat. You will always have something or other to fight with, which will increase the possibility of leaving a possible attack without being dead or wounded. You don't have to carry anything with you but even then you are ready to use anything that he can lay your hands on.

Home remedies for moles

Mar 17, 2017

1678

There are home remedies for moles which are effective and which can be done right at your home.

Garlic

Garlic is considered as a very effective home remedial for moles. It contains enzymes that break down the clusters of pigment producing cells, thereby eliminating the moles on your skin. It provides another advantage to you-it lightens the dark pigmentation.

To use it, you need to crash a fresh garlic glove and then place it on the mole. Keep it overnight and if you cannot keep it overnight, at least keep it for four hours. You will need to do it daily for a few days and after that the mole will automatically fall of.

If you apply the garlic paste, you will need to disinfect the area with alcohol or any other disinfectant.

Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a very popular remedy for moles. As the name suggests, it contains acid, which can scab the mole and remove it after some time. To apply Apple cider vinegar, you need to dip a cotton ball in it and put the ball on the affected area. To secure the ball in its place, you can use a bandage or medical tape. Keep it overnight. You will need to do this daily for about a week or 10 days and the mole will fall off. You can also directly put Apple cider vinegar on the mole and keep doing it until the mole dries naturally. If you see a scar left behind by the mole after treatment with Apple cider vinegar, you can use coconut oil to lighten the scar. Before you apply vinegar on your skin, apply petroleum jelly on the surrounding area to protect the skin around the mole.

Iodine

A tincture of iodine is also beneficial against moles and skin tags. It can cause natural cell death and so can eliminate the clusters causing the mole. Iodine tincture is available in all the medical stores. To apply it, first you need to clean the affected area and then apply 5% iodine solution on the mole. If the mole is flat, you can scratch it using an emery board before you apply iodine on it. After application of iodine, you can bandage the area or use a gauze to cover it. Keep it overnight and repeat the procedure daily for one or two weeks. To avoid deep purple iodine stain on your skin, you can apply a lotion or a petroleum jelly around the mole. If you do not want to use the bandage, you can apply the iodine solution on the mole and let it dry but you will need to apply it 2 to 3 times a day.

Flaxseed oil

Flaxseed oil is effective against moles. It first softens the mole and then loosens them on the edges, as a result of which the mole comes off easily.

Castor oil

Castor oil is also effective against moles and you can use it to remove moles from your body. It is also effective against warts, and skin tags. Castor oil can dissolve and eliminate unusual growths on your skin. Be advised that this method may leave scars. The Castor oil method may take some time because it eliminates one layer of the mole at a time.

To use it, you need to mix a pinch of baking soda and few drops of castor oil. Use the mixture and rub on the mole. Leave it for few hours and let it dry naturally. You will need to do this twice daily for about one month. You can also use Castor oil alone if you do not have baking soda at home.

Weight loss is important because it is a very safe method of reducing inflammation. When you lose weight, it helps you to get rid of blood vessel dysfunction due to obesity. Since gout is an inflammatory condition, when you lose weight and maintain the ideal way it will drastically reduce the possibility of future gout attacks.

Eating right for your nutritional type

If you have chronically high blood sugar that can cause inflammation and subsequent damage seen in case of gout. The sugar molecule is more harmful than any other types of molecule. It is possible to normalise your blood sugar and insulin levels present in your body by adjusting your diet.

You will need to limit or eliminate high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), sugar and grains. So, probably you will need to stop drinking soft drinks and fruit juices. Also avoid sugary snacks. However, need to understand that it is very important to eat right depending on your nutritional type. Since the biochemical nutritional needs for individual are different, so your diet may be different from other people. The signs of nutritional typing divides people in three groups-

High protein, high fat, low carbs (Protein type)
Low protein, low fat, high carbs (Carb type)
Mixture between the above (Mixed type)
