How can I make a [relaxing/stimulating/good smelling] bath using household ingredients? (Like honey, cream, vinegar, etc.)

I'm not sure this is a good question, but to help, can you refine the question? Do you want relaxing, stimulating, or good-smelling? As it is, it's not only a list question, but three list questions. – Flimzy Dec 21 '12 at 7:17
It was meant as a example question with possible different variations. The question was meant to be "to create a relaxing bath" or " to create a stimulating bath". I changed it to reflect that better. I also changed it to ask for a way to do it instead of asking for a list. – Karin Dec 22 '12 at 6:53
The edit is a definite improvement. – Flimzy Dec 22 '12 at 7:57

Are there studies, that compare the health effects of drinking black tea versus drinking coffee? Both in "normal" quantities (a few cups a day).

@Flimzy: Why the close vote? The question is about Health and it is specific enough to be answered. Do you think it is too subjectiv or is something else bothering you? – Karin Dec 22 '12 at 7:29
It's far too broad and subjective. One may be healthier than the other in some respects, and less healthy in other respects. The answer may depend on who's drinking it. It may depend on quantities. It may depend on which coffee and which tea you're talking about. "Healthy" is a VERY subjective term. – Flimzy Dec 22 '12 at 7:54
What I liked about the first version of the question is, that it was very short and condensed and therefore good to catch the attention of potential answerers. I refined it to be less subjective and less broad. – Karin Dec 22 '12 at 8:03

This question is far too broad. – Flimzy Dec 21 '12 at 7:15
Agree. I narrowed the initial question down to a more specific one. – Karin Dec 22 '12 at 6:49
