Tips For Keeping Beauty Bridezilla at Bay

What Can and Can't Be Recycled?
When you've finished your favorite lipstick or blush, what do you do with the packaging? Do you toss it in the trash, recycle it, or just stare at it blankly not knowing what to do? According to the EPA, each year Americans create millions of tons of waste.

- A nonsurgical method for treating ingrown toenail with chemicals uses either sodium hydroxide or phenol, but one study shows that sodium hydroxide procedures have a better outcome and faster recovery than phenol procedures.
- Ultrasound-guided injection of alcohol might provide relief from Morton's neuroma, according to one study. Symptoms improved in 94% of patients who had the treatment, a success rate comparable to that of surgery.
- NSAIDs reduce pain and disability in people with plantar fasciitis when used with other techniques, such as night splints and stretching.
