It would seem that what can be done with bay leaves besides adding to food during cooking and, in extreme cases, adding to drinks. But if the leaf is set on fire, this can also have a beneficial effect.
Pleasant aroma
Every home smells differently. The smell is the first thing we notice after we come to visit. After all, any house has its own unique smell, which depends on who, what people live in it and what things are in their house. Someone always smells like freshly prepared food, someone always smells like flowers, and someone always smells like scented candles. But if the owner of the house cares about the smell in his house, he probably knows about what you can use Bay leaf.
Also in Ancient Greece and Rome set fire to the leaves in order to remove bad smell rot or mildew.
Why burn bay leaves
The smoldering part of the bay leaf carries a scent that soothes and relieves pain. and also reduces the risk of epileptic seizures. This effect is due to the presence essential oils in the plant, even if its leaves are dry. Filling the house with a pleasant aroma, the light smoke that develops throughout the space soothes and creates a cozy atmosphere.
Ritual for the fulfillment of desires
Previously, the bay leaf was considered a symbol of the fulfillment of desires. For this reason, many ceremonies and rituals were performed with him. It was so popular that some even today hang it at home as a talisman.
In order for your wish to come true, write it on a bay leaf, and then burn it. During decay, the leaf will develop your desire with smoke, attracting only positive energy.
Getting rid of pests
This plant in dry form can irritate the perception of cockroaches, and they try to bypass places where its smell is heard. But at the same time, laurel is absolutely harmless to animals, as is its smell.
The list of useful and at the same time interesting properties of the bay leaf does not end, but in order to feel them all as much as possible, it is enough to put a small amount of leaves in a metal or ceramic container and set them on fire a little. You can add lime for more flavor. The aroma will do its job and become your favorite to such an extent that you want it to always smell like this at home, because the unique components of this plant are not found in such quantities in any of the entire list of spices in the kitchen.
5 928 Life exists on Earth only because of a delicate and incredible balance. Our atmosphere, proximity to the Sun and many other beautiful coincidences not only allow living beings to survive and develop, but also to thrive. And yet, we are here, sitting at tables, in cafes and walking along the street, as if it were not some extraordinary miracle. But all good things come to an end. One day the Earth will be inhospitable to anything resembling life as we know it. Life on this planet will probably not stop for billions of years. But, depending on the vicissitudes of astrophysics, it could happen tomorrow or any other time. Here are a few ways scientists say the Earth could die. The earth is surrounded by a protective magnetic shield called the magnetosphere. The field is generated by the Earth's rotation, which spins a thick shell of liquid iron and nickel (outer core) around a solid ball of metal (inner core), creating a giant electrical dynamo. The magnetosphere deflects energy particles that emanate from the Sun, changing its size and shape. The resulting high-energy particle stream that crashes into the Earth's air can cause beautiful auroras or sometimes destructive geomagnetic storms. But if the core cools, we will lose our magnetosphere, as well as our protection from solar winds, which will slowly blow our atmosphere into space. Once rich in water and thick atmosphere, suffered that same fate billions of years ago, resulting in the almost airless, seemingly lifeless world we know today. The sun and our position in relation to it is perhaps the most important part of our precarious existence. But the Sun is still a star. And the stars are dying. It is now halfway through its life, steadily converting hydrogen into helium. However, this will not continue forever. Billions of years later, the sun will run out of hydrogen and start burning helium. This reaction will push the layers of the Sun outward and possibly start pulling the Earth towards the Sun. The earth will burn and then evaporate. The expansion of the Sun will push the Earth out of its orbit. It will die like a rogue planet, unattached to any star and drifting through the void. If we talk about rogue planets, then these are worlds that are knocked out of their solar systems during formation. According to recent simulations, in fact, ghost planets can outnumber stars by 100,000 to one. One of these rogue planets could drift into and destabilize the Earth into an extreme and unfavorable orbit. A world big enough and close enough can even push us completely out of solar system. Or make us collide with a nearby planet like Venus or Mercury. As a rogue planet, the Earth will become an ice ball. And a significant gravitational push could also lead to extreme and deadly times that alternate between very cold and very hot. Or instead of just passing through and destroying Earth's orbit, a drifting world could make a direct hit. It would be unprecedented. About 4.5 billion years ago, a small planet crashed into a large planet in the solar system - forming the Earth and. A new collision will similarly send debris flying through the entire solar system and melt the Earth by 100%. And while the new planet will eventually reform and cool, it remains to be seen if it will be habitable. Asteroids from space can be quite destructive, as big as the one that probably wiped out the dinosaurs, although it would take a lot of asteroids to destroy an entire planet. This is one of Hollywood's favorite apocalypse themes. However, it can happen. The Earth was heavily bombarded by asteroids for hundreds of millions of years after its formation. The impact was so intense that the oceans boiled for a whole year. At this point, all life was single-celled, and only the most heat-tolerant microbes survived. Today's lifeforms almost certainly won't. Temperatures could reach over 900 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks if we were to suffer such a beating. Black holes may be Hollywood's second favorite form of death. It's not hard to guess why. They are as mysterious as they are frightening. Even their name sounds ominous. We don't know much about them yet, but we do know that they are so dense that even light cannot escape the event horizon. And scientists think that "discarded" black holes are roaming the cosmos, just like rogue planets. Incredibly, one of these holes could pass through our solar system. A small black hole can pass the Earth harmlessly, but anything larger than the mass of the moon will cause big problems. If light can't escape, Earth definitely can't. There are two ideas about what might happen after the point of no return, given a sufficiently large black hole. Beyond the event horizon, atoms can stretch until they are completely torn apart. Other physicists suggest that we will go straight to the end or end up in a completely different one. Even if a rogue Black Hole does not affect the Earth itself, it could pass close enough to cause earthquakes and other destruction, knock us out of the solar system, or send us into the Sun. Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are one of the most powerful phenomena in the universe. Most of them are the result of the destruction of massive stars when they die. One short burst can emit more energy than our Sun during its entire life. This energy could eradicate the ozone layer, flood the Earth with dangerous ultraviolet light, and cause rapid global cooling. In fact, a gamma-ray burst could have been the cause of the first mass extinction on Earth 440 million years ago. Luckily, David Thompson, deputy project director at the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope, told National Geographic that GRBs aren't much of a problem. He said the risk was equivalent to "the danger I might face if I found a polar bear in my closet in Bowie, Maryland." This is something that can actually end the entire universe, not just. A mysterious force called dark energy is accelerating and accelerating the universe. If it accelerates, as it is currently doing, perhaps in 22 billion years the force that holds atoms together will fail - and all matter in the universe will dissolve into radiation. Perhaps some microbes will survive to revive a more complex life. But if our destruction is absolute, we can at least hope that there are other universes out there and some other sentient being somewhere.1. Our planet could die if the core of the Earth cools.

8 The Universe Might Rip Into Its Final Big Rip
Surgical contraception (sterilization) is one of the most common methods of contraception in the world. According to statistics in Canada, the Netherlands, the UK and New Zealand, 18% of men have undergone a vasectomy, and a quarter of them are married. This surgery is most popular among men aged 40-49.
Vasectomy is not castration. The only common consequence of both procedures is infertility. In 99% of cases, with unprotected contact, pregnancy does not occur. A few months after the operation, you need to continue to protect yourself, since there is a possibility that spermatozoa remained in the seminal ducts.
In some cases, vasectomy may be reversible. If you perform an operation to restore the patency of the seminal ducts (vasovasostomy) in the 10-year period after the previous intervention, then the chances of becoming a father reach 55%. After 10 years, the likelihood of this is greatly reduced. In addition, after sterilization, the number of spermatozoa and their mobility decreases. The seminal fluid itself can also acquire unwanted changes, and even a successful reconstructive operation does not guarantee fertility. [S-BLOCK]
Actor George Clooney had a vasectomy in 1997, and in 2014 he underwent a reconstruction operation. She was successful: despite the long period of time between two surgical interventions, Clooney was able to become a father.
In 2014, the world was shocked by the results of a study by Harvard scientists who concluded that sterilization increases the risk of prostate cancer. In 2017, the work of scientists from the American Cancer Society was published, in which this hypothesis was refuted.
For several decades, American scientists have been analyzing data from 364,000 men who were about 40 years old at the time the study began in 1982. Vasectomy was performed by 42,000 of them. Over 30 years, 7,400 people died out of the total number. It turned out that the rates of cancer in those who underwent sterilization and those who did not do this operation do not differ. But whether the men smoked and whether they had excess weight influenced the development of tumors. Does not cause sterilization and testicular cancer. [S-BLOCK]
In the 1980s, several studies came out that showed evidence that libido may decrease after surgery.
Now, most urologists believe that the libido of those who have had a vasectomy remains at the same level. A man still produces hormones, he has a normal erection, even the amount and appearance ejaculate remains unchanged - the only difference is that there are no more spermatozoa in the ejaculate.
Psychologists believe that there may even be an increase in intimate activity, because fear disappears. unwanted pregnancy partners. A man is liberated - he no longer needs to think about possible failures of contraception.
Women also begin to trust a man more, to perceive him as "sharing" the traditional concerns about contraception, which are attentive to family planning. The operation is often performed by men who already have children. In addition, male sterilization is easier to carry out than female. [S-BLOCK]
Approximately 90% of men who have had a vasectomy are satisfied with the result. Some, however, experience depression and impotence, but these problems are psychological in nature and are treated therapeutically.
The operation itself takes about half an hour and is performed through small incisions or in a minimally invasive way - through a puncture in the scrotum. The surgeon separates the ends of the ducts and “solders” them with a laser.
Sometimes after the procedure, it is necessary to apply cooling compresses for some time, and painful sensations are noted, which soon pass. There is also the so-called post-vasectomy in Western practice. pain syndrome. It can develop even several years after surgery and be chronic. It is constant or occurs during ejaculation, physical activity pain. In rare cases, as with any surgical intervention, undesirable consequences may also occur: hematomas (hemorrhages), postoperative infections.
Vasectomy works well in couples when the partners are healthy and faithful to each other because it does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. So even after sterilization, it is better for Casanovas to continue using condoms and get tested regularly.
Balanced diet - actual topic. AT modern world fashionable to be healthy and successful. Dr. Stanley Bass has devoted almost his entire life to the topic of healthy nutrition.
The scientist began to experiment with products from the age of 19, arguing that "Man is what he eats." This is perhaps the longest study of an American naturopath, and has been going on for 80 years.
According to Stanley himself and his associates, the main difficulty in the transition to healthy eating, is an intermediate physiological state of a person.
How to become healthy through nutrition?
At first glance, everything is clear: sprouted grains of cereals are more useful than buns, and fresh vegetables will give the body more vitamins than thermally processed. Beef is not as fat as pork, and, therefore, is easier to digest and less burdens the liver. Even more nutrients will enter the body with nuts and legumes.
As we move up the food priority scale, we include foods that are rich in protein but do not require cooking. Useful: cheese made from raw milk without salt, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, raw nuts.
By eating fresh food, we charge the body life force. Absence heat treatment 
guarantees the intake of enzymes, amino acids, minerals, vitamins and carbohydrates in the body in the maximum amount. Thus, the process of tissue repair is activated.
In an effort to heal the body with the help of a qualitative increase in food, you should say goodbye to such not very useful additives as salt, sugar and pepper, as well as say "goodbye" bad habits: alcohol and tobacco. Coffee, cocoa, and chocolate are inherently toxins and hinder your wellness transformation.
To start the function of recovery processes, it is very important to observe the following rules:
- balanced nutrition (competent combination of proportions and selection of the right products);
- observance of the order of taking products (first of all, there are easily digestible products, complex ones - in the second, and concentrated ones are left in the end);
- the optimal volume of products of each type in a single reception;
- eating schedule (based on the feeling of hunger).
Exacerbations during the transition to a healthy diet
Having cleaned the refrigerator of food products of dubious benefit and going on a diet, a person expects a surge of strength, getting rid of ailments, the formation of a slender silhouette, clean skin, thick and shiny hair.
But in practice, amazing metamorphoses occur. A person, switching to nutrition with healthy and high-quality products, begins to feel weakness and apathy, the body is tormented by nausea and diarrhea, and a rash covers the skin. I want to forget about nutrition horrible dream, pour a good portion of coffee into the stomach and have a snack with a bar of chocolate.
Don't give up so quickly. The secret of the alleged deterioration of health lies in the natural wisdom of the body. The evolutionary process is that each cell prefers the good to the bad, and the best to the good. The natural instinct pushes out the accumulated rubbish from the inside: toxins, slags, residual elements of countless medicines. In the end, the tissues themselves become "morally obsolete components", which must be replaced with qualitatively new substances coming from useful products. Brick by brick, atom by atom, the body is being restructured. It's like during a renovation: they rip off the wallpaper, ditch the walls, and the visual impression states a complete defeat. But now the repair is over, the garbage is thrown out, the floors and windows are washed ... the room becomes cozy, clean and beautiful. The same processes occur in the body.
As foam forms on the crest of a wave, so all hidden diseases are washed away by a new way of life. They go outside and cancel. The temperature may suddenly jump out. But, later a short time All will pass. This is how “dirt” comes out, diseases “nailed down” with medicines. They just leave the body. They have no place in the new body.
How long does the restructuring of the body take with a change in nutrition?
From infancy, each member of society is imposed a set of rules: you need to eat at certain hours, you should drink coffee in the morning, the best breakfast is scrambled eggs with bacon. The mentality that has been formed over the years and decades requires adherence to traditions, and the process of body renewal is accompanied by unpleasant symptoms.
Are you already drinking clean water and fresh juices, eat raw vegetables and nuts. Useful substances displace accumulated toxins, and cells are renewed and healed.
Waste materials are excreted from the body through sweat, vomiting, diarrhea and unpleasant odors. It is not a fact that the whole range of "charms" will fall upon every adherent of naturopathy, but it is quite possible.
You should show wisdom and rest more if weakness is felt. When the body is prevented from healing, it always seeks to "lull" consciousness so that it does not interfere with the struggle for survival. Get plenty of rest and your body will adjust faster.
For decades, the body has been stimulated by tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, alcohol and tobacco. And suddenly all these products disappeared from the diet somewhere. During the period of restructuring and adaptation, this list of products will not be enough. Without doping, most people feel depressed and irritated. The main secret is that discomfort will soon pass, the joy of life will return. And the physical condition will reach a qualitatively new level.
Changes occur not only in every cell of the body, but also in the brain.
If you know main secret- all difficulties are surmountable. It takes 40 days to form a habit. The brain, like an idle caretaker with a huge ledger, conducts a daily inventory: the habit of drinking coffee is there ... The habit is there, but coffee is not. There is a feeling of discomfort in the body. 40 days the body will require doping. But after the expiration of the specified period, it will become easier and, on the contrary, a random cup of coffee will cause dizziness and heart palpitations. Why? Because now there is an item on the list of habits: healthy eating.
You need to be prepared for the deterioration of the general condition within 40 days. But if the rebuild only takes a week, 
so much the better, you can consider it a pleasant bonus from the body.
In some cases, the conversion goes in leaps and bounds. The trend towards improvement is replaced by periods of malaise. This is fine. Having shown patience, you will be rewarded: good health and longevity, quality of life and high performance.
Renewal of the body is accompanied by high emotional pleasure. You begin to feel gratitude to God and unity with Nature. Call it what you want. Feel like a part of the Cosmos, a component of the Universe. Happiness and pleasure from life will fill your whole being to the very edge.
Hello Katherine.
As a rule, the first manifestations of pregnancy can be noticed no earlier than a week after the conception occurred. However, it is not always possible for a woman to know the exact date of conception, since conception does not always coincide with the time when sperm enters the woman's body. The fact is that spermatozoa can retain their viability in the female genital tract for a short period of time. If ovulation occurs later than the time of intercourse, then it is likely that pregnancy will occur later.
However, pregnancy does not occur in all cases, and a woman who wants to become pregnant tries to pass off any changes in the state of the body as the first signs of pregnancy.
In the body of a woman after conception, changes begin to occur, designed to prepare the body for pregnancy, childbirth, and feeding. As a rule, they begin to occur after the pregnancy has passed the implantation period, that is, there has been an attachment of a fertilized egg in the uterine cavity to its wall. However, not all women feel any change, as sometimes many do not realize that they are pregnant until the day when the next menstruation should begin.
There are cases when a woman, not being pregnant, observes manifestations of pregnancy in herself. This may indicate the presence of other diseases, or the development of such a condition as a false pregnancy.
During the implantation period of pregnancy, short-term pulling pains in the lower abdomen, slight spotting, which usually lasts no more than one to two days, can be observed.
In some women, the first signs of pregnancy may appear even before the start of a delay in menstruation, however, they cannot be called objective signs of pregnancy, since these manifestations may also indicate other disorders in the body.
Sometimes in the first week after conception, there may be a general malaise with a slight increase in body temperature, while the rectal temperature after conception always remains elevated.
During pregnancy, there may be a slight increase in the discharge of vaginal secretions, a slight feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and in the bladder may appear, although, in most cases, such manifestations are observed for more later dates pregnancy, and sometimes women may experience a change in the sensitivity of the mammary glands
With the onset of pregnancy, a woman may begin to experience bouts of vomiting, diarrhea may appear, sometimes there is a change in taste preferences, headaches, dizziness may be observed.
However, such signs do not always indicate that pregnancy has occurred.
To more accurately say whether pregnancy has occurred or not, an analysis to determine the level of hCG will help, however, a blood test for hCG can be carried out no earlier than twelve days from the time of the intended conception, and a test for determining hCG in the urine should be done only from the first day of missed menstruation.
