Did this myself, we’ll see how well it comes out. I nearly passed it up since we have a ton of tea already, but we do go through quite a bit of tea for ice tea.
This summer is shaping up to start to be a warm one here in Chicago, IL. In an attempt to save money in my household, we aren’t using the AC as much. One important thing to remember when you have pets and you are doing something like this, most of the warm blooded pets have fur. Putting Ice in their water dish is a great way for them to cool off. Which is easy if you have a dog or a cat. Not so much if you have a bunny who drinks out of a bottle. Thankfully, my mother has ice cube trays that are long narrow shapes, for putting in bottles. Some parts were a little thick, I just ran some cold water over them when they got stuck, and now I have a very happy bunny.
You'll need a blender, food processor or coffee grinder and 1 cup of oatmeal. You can use instant oatmeal (unflavored), quick oats or slow cooking oats- all work equally as well. For babies, you'll only need about 1/3 cup per bath.
Blend or process the oats on the highest setting until you have a very fine, consistent powder. To test the colloid property of the oats, stir 1 tablespoon oats into a glass of warm water. If the oats readily absorb the water and give it a milky look and a silky feel, you've blended long enough.
Giving the bath:
Sprinkle the oats into a tub of running water and stir the water with your hand several times to ensure even distribution. Feel along the bottom of the tub for clumps and break up any you find.
Take care assisting your child into the tub as the oats will make the tub even more slippery than usual. Allow your child to soak in the tub for 15-20 minutes and pat dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing.
You can use this bath once or twice a day or more frequently as your doctor advises.
Though sunblock with both UVA and UVB prior to going out in the sun is always the best idea, sometimes you either forget, or it can wear off before you realize that you need to re-appy. Here are some tips for Home treatments that may provide some relief from a mild sunburn.
· Use cool cloths on sunburned areas.
· Take frequent cool showers or baths.
· Apply soothing lotions that contain aloe vera to sunburned areas.
· Topical steroids (such as 1% hydrocortisone cream) may also help with sunburn pain and swelling. Note: Do not use the cream on children younger than age 2 unless your doctor tells you to.
A sunburn can cause a mild fever and a headache. Lie down in a cool, quiet room to relieve the headache. A headache may be caused by dehydration, so drinking fluids may help. There is little you can do to stop skin from peeling after a sunburn-it is part of the healing process. Lotion may help relieve the itching. An oatmeal bath will also help with the itching when you start pealing.
