Give It A Try!

Whenever I encourage my friends to try new foods or a new organic super food they get wary. They give suspicious looks to the uncommon shape of herbs, the sensational smells of the spices make them sneeze, and they won't even try the supplements!

As much as I love trying new things (with proper research of course) I realize most people aren't as adventurous as me. But I think if a little more knowledge were shed on the subject maybe people's minds would start to change. Here is an amazing article I found on 9 Detox Herbs That Will Make You Feel Like A Million Bucks and I was happy to discover eSutras Organics carries a few of the products! Try these amazing, detoxifying products and FEEL the results!

Turmeric - The health of our digestive system affects our immune system. The mucus membrane of the gut, a part of the lymph system is compromised by digestive imbalances. These imbalances which can be caused by toxins, diet choices, stress and lifestyle manifest either as constipation or diarrhea depending on whether the imbalances are drying or creating congestion. Seasonal factors can add to the imbalances. These imbalances interfere with our immune functioning. Turmeric is an herb that helps with this.

Beets and Fenugreek thin the bile. When there is congestion in the mucus membranes of the intestine, toxins do not get processed by the intestines. Instead they back up to the liver which thickens the bile which in turn creates congestion in the bile and pancreatic ducts. The result is that fats cannot be digested, fat soluble toxins cannot be processed and digestive enzymes are not as available to do their job. This compromises both the immune system and digestion. Beets and fenugreek support the body’s bile as natural supplements or as part of a meal.

Neem is a wonder herb from the neem tree. It is most commonly known as an herb for the skin and dental health. However, it is also antibacterial,
anti-viral, antiseptic, anti-diabetic, and blood purifying, and has many other practical uses.

A few of eSutras Favorite Things...

This article - The 11 Best Things You Aren't Eating - was first published in The New York Times in 2008, but has been re-released this year and is now the most e-mailed, most read and likely most talked about on the Times' website.

Luckily for you - and for us, we must admit - eSutras Organics sells many of these products! We're going to give you our two cents on these Things, because we agree: they are some of the best! Follow the links to read the Times article, or find the products we offer on eSutras.com.




 Cinnamon: In the East, Cinnamon has been used for years to cure bronchitis, asthma, diarrhea, nausea & vomiting, flatulence, fever, headaches, bad breath and toothaches. According to the Times, it may help control blood sugar and cholesterol. A regular panacea!

Pomegranate Juice: The Ayurvedic tradition holds not only the juice of the pomegranate, but also its many other parts - seeds, rind and flowers included - sacred. The Times says it may help to lower blood pressure and is chock full of ever-essential antioxidants. But we think it may do more for your body, too! The juice may help to impede

development of cataracts and the rind can be used to slow nose bleeds, treat dysentery & intestinal parasites, or even tone your skin. eSutras sells Pomegranate Peel, which can be steeped in tea or ground up into spice form.

Turmeric: The Times calls it the "superstar of spices" because of its supposed anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Amazingly, you can also apply turmeric to wounds, as it acts as an anti-septic as well. eSutras sells Turmeric as a powder used commonly in cooking, as an essential oil and in supplement form.

Stay healthy, everybody.

Post Valentine's Day Recipe!




Now that Valentine’s Day is over its time to take inventory; Roses (check), stuffed animal (check), chocolate (DOUBLE CHECK!). More than anything else chocolates are the #1 gift people give on Valentine’s Day, but normally people don’t eat entire boxes of huge chocolates on a regular basis. Here’s a great recipe for your leftover Valentine’s Day sweets, Fondue!

Fondue may not be the most common of dishes, although in the seventies it was everywhere. Fondue gatherings are a great chance to be interactive during dinner parties and it’s so easy to make even those who can’t cook can enjoy the simple dish.

Be creative with what you choose to dip as well. Baked goods like pound cake or cookies, fresh fruit such as strawberries or bananas work well, too.

                               Dark Chocolate Fondue


 Ingredients:
  • 12 ounces of eSutras Special Dark Chocolate  Chunks 
  • 8 ounces of heavy cream 
  • A pinch of salt
  • Dipping foods such as strawberries, banana or dried fruit

Directions:


  1.  Warm the cream over moderate heat until it begins to lightly and slowly boil. Add the chocolate and mix until smooth.
  2. Transfer to a fondue pot heated at low or with a low flame.
  3. Arrange the dipping foods on a platter. Use a fondue fork or bamboo skewer.
  4. If the fondue begins to feel a little stiff, add a tablespoon of heavy cream and stir. It will help it go a little longer. Eventually, it will cook down and you may need to start a new pot.

Enjoy!

Lots of Love
