Breathe Easy

By Anonymous



Aromatherapy is an alternative medicinal treatment using ayurvedic essential oils to help alleviate ailments. The practice uses essential oils, diluted with carrier oils, to be inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or sometimes ingested. The most common way to practice aromatherapy is through inhalation. The essential oils are absorbed through the cell linings of the respiratory passages and exported throughout the body with help from mucous secretions.

Aromatherapy is particularly helpful to people with asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease that’s usually exhibited by a person having difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing. Steam distillation is the best way to use it for asthma treatment. Steam distillation is a special type of distillation for temperature sensitive materials like essential oils. Some organic compounds tend to decompose at high temperatures, so separation by normal distillation would not work, so water or steam is introduced into the distillation process. By adding water (steam), the boiling points of the compounds are depressed, allowing them to evaporate at lower temperatures, lower ones than their disintegration points. eSutras Organics has lots of essential oils that have been known to aid asthma problems. Here are a few:

· eSutras Organics Peppermint e.o. – The mint in this essential oil reacts with the respiratory system the same way sucking on a peppermint candy does, it open up the throat making it easier to breathe.

· eSutras Organics Spearmint e.o. – Does the same as Peppermint essential oil, open breathing passages to make breathing easier.

· eSutras Organics Anise Seed e.o. – Although it’s used for many other things (stress, headache, etc.), it has been shown to help asthma as well.

· eSutras Organics Mentha Pipperita e.o. – As well as being an antiseptic in contain some sort of mint, which is good for asthma sufferers.

· eSutras Organics Hyssop e.o. – Usually known as being an antibiotic, this essential oil has asthma relieving properties, too.

· eSutras Organics Myrrh e.o. – Ancient and used for many years this essential oil has a sharp scent and can be steam distilled to bring help to someone suffering from an asthma attack.

(Please note these are beliefs expressed by eSutras Organics. If you have any asthma problems please consult a practicing physician before using any of our products. None of these essential oils have been approved by a medical practitioner as a medicine for asthma treatment.)

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter

By
Did you know the first Greek God was actually a Goddess?. he is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.  Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth.  Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment. Mother Nature heals, nurtures and supports all life on this planet, and ultimately all life and health depend on Her. In time, Nature heals all ills. The way of Mother Gaia is the passive, feminine, Yin way of healing. All we need to do to regain our health is to return to the bosom of Mother Nature and live in accordance with Her laws.
