Gross Soap This "Chandrika Ayurvedic Soap" was left on the side of the bath tub and had not been used in about two weeks when this video was shot. Gross From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross A colloquialism meaning disgusting. --- Soap From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap For other uses, see Soap (disambiguation). In chemistry, soap is a salt of a fatty acid.[1] Soaps are mainly used as surfactants for washing, bathing, and cleaning, but they are also used in textile spinning and are important components of lubricants. Soaps for cleansing are obtained by treating vegetable or animal oils and fats with a strongly alkaline solution. Fats and oils are composed of triglycerides; three molecules of fatty acids are attached to a single molecule of glycerol.[2] The alkaline solution, which is often called lye (although the term "lye soap" refers almost exclusively to soaps made with sodium hydroxide), brings about a chemical reaction known as saponification. In saponification, the fats are first hydrolyzed into free fatty acids, which then combine with the alkali to form crude soap. Glycerol (glycerine) is liberated and is either left in or washed out and recovered as a useful byproduct, depending on the process employed.[2] Soaps are key components of most lubricating greases, which are usually emulsions of calcium soap or lithium soaps and mineral oil. These calcium- and lithium-based greases are widely used. Many other metallic soaps are also useful, including those of aluminium, sodium, and mixtures of them. Such soaps are also used as thickeners to increase the viscosity of oils. In ancient times, lubricating greases were made by the addition of lime to olive oil.[3] Contents: 1 Mechanism of cleansing soaps 1.1 Accumulation of dust on fabrics 1.2 Action of soap 1.3 Effect of the alkali 1.4 Effects of fats 2 History of cleansing soaps 2.1 Early history 2.2 Ancient Rome 2.3 Ancient China 2.4 Middle East 2.5 Medieval Europe 2.6 15th--19th centuries 3 Liquid soap 4 Soap-making processes 4.1 Cold process 4.1.1 Hot processes 4.1.2 Molds 4.2 Purification and finishing --- Ayurveda From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda (Sanskrit Āyurveda आयुर्वेद, "life-knowledge"; English pronunciation /ˌaɪ.ərˈveɪdə/[2]) or ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian subcontinent and a form of alternative medicine. The oldest known ayurvedic texts are the Suśruta Saṃhitā and the Charaka Saṃhitā. These Classical Sanskrit encyclopedias of medicine are among the foundational and formally compiled works of ayurveda. Charak By the medieval period, ayurvedic practitioners developed a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for the treatment of various ailments.[3] Current practices derived (or reportedly derived) from ayurvedic medicine are regarded as part of complementary and alternative medicine,[4] and, along with siddha and Traditional Chinese medicine, form the basis for systems medicine.[5] Safety concerns have been raised about Ayurveda; for instance, two U.S. studies found that about 20 percent of Ayurvedic US and Indian-manufactured patent medicines sold via internet contained toxic levels of heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic. Other concerns include the use of herbs containing toxic compounds and the lack of quality control in Ayurvedic facilities.[6][7] In classical Sanskrit literature, Ayurveda was called "the science of eight components" (Sanskrit aṣṭāṅga अष्टांग), a classification that became canonical for ayurveda. They are:[8][9] (general medicine) - Kāya-chikitsā: "cure of diseases affecting the body" (paediatrics) Kaumāra-bhṛtya "treatment of children" SurgeryŚhalya-chikitsā, "removal of any substance which has entered the body (as extraction of darts, of splinters, etc.)" (ophthalmology/ENTŚālākya-tantra "cure of diseases of the eye or ear etc. by sharp instruments"[dubious -- discuss]) (demonology / exorcism/psychiatryBhūta(past)-vidyā "treatment of mental diseases supposed to be produced by past experiences" (toxicology)Agada-tantra "doctrine of antidotes" elixirs Rasayana-tantra "doctrine of " - Rasayana aphrodisiacsVājīkaraṇa tantra
