There's a reason they're are called ESSENTIAL oils!

By

Essential oils are considered the pure essence of a plant. They have been found to provide both psychological and physical benefits when used safely and in the properly stated directions in which to use them. Aromatherapy is when essential oils are inhaled into the lungs, offering both psychological and physical betterment. The aroma of the natural essential oil stimulates the brain triggering a reaction, but when inhaled into the lungs, the natural constituents can supply a therapeutic benefit. Diffusing eucalyptus essential oil to help ease congestion is a one example. Although aromatherapy is a leading use of essential oils, it’s not the only use. Essential oils can be used in household and laundry cleaners cleaning better and supplying a lovely, non-chemical scent. Some oils act as a natural insect repellent and pesticide.  Citronella candles during the summer to keep mosquitoes away are similar because citronella essential oil is the ingredient in the candles that is responsible for repelling the mosquitoes. Essential oils that are applied to the skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The constituents of essential oils can aid in health, beauty and hygiene conditions. Essential oils are so powerful and concentrated; they should never be applied to the skin in their undiluted form. To apply essential oils to the skin, essential oils are typically diluted into carriers such as a cold pressed vegetable oil; Grapeseed Oil is a prime example.  eSutras Organics offers a wide variety of essential oils and carrier oils you can use to dilute them with.

·         eSutras Organics Blue Chamomile e.o. - The scent is a sedative, and helps lull the body to sleep. It’s used to treat complaints including insomnia, melancholia, and stress. Taken internally or externally, chamomile is anti-inflammatory. Apply the oil topically to treat skin conditions including allergies, infections, burns, inflammation, rashes, and bites. Taken internally, it can help ease stomach distress.
·         eSutras Organics Cajeput e.o. - An Indonesian tree produces this aromatic oil, derived from the leaves and twigs. It is traditionally mixed with almond and olive carrier oils to relieve sunburn. The oil, which is colorless and liquid, has therapeutic valuable only in its pure form. It should only be used externally, and not by pregnant women. Sometimes used to get relief from skin infections, this scent of this oil can also be used to benefit those who frequently suffer from colds, as it improves resistance. It can also be mixed with carrier oil and rubbed upon stiff or aching joints.
·         eSutras Organics Tagetes e.o - Tagetes oil has a sweet, fruity smell and is yellow to reddish-amber in color. The leaves and flowers are a good insect repelled.

It is a very fine oil that keeps  well an leaves skin with a smooth finish that is non-greasy. Good for acne and oily skin. Good oil for those whose skin does not seem to absorb oils easily, also.

Partake of the beautiful Lotus to inspire your mind. It sedates and seduces..

By
Lotus - Its God's favorite flower...Its mysticism may also be linked to the  mild narcotic or sedative effects   from flowers that are eaten, smoked or steeped in wine and drank. Also called the world's most beautiful flower, the lotus is the most sacred, and it seems there never was a time when man did not adore it.....Of all the myriad buds and blooms, the most revered and esteemed--by God and man--is the magnificent lotus in the sub continent and all across China and Japan. According to Buddhism and Hinduism, within each human inhabiting the earth is the spirit of the sacred lotus. It represents eternity, purity and divinity and is widely used as a symbol of life, fertility, ever-renewing youth and to describe feminine beauty, especially the eyes. One of the most common metaphysical analogies compares the lotus' perennial rise to faultless beauty from a miry environment to the evolution of man's consciousness--from instinctive impulses to spiritual liberation.
