why chocolate is good for you!

Did You Know…

… that the world’s most incredibly sweet, decadent and satisfying food is actually good for you?

     Once considered the “bad guy” in the world of food, chocolate has turned into a national health-food phenomenon.  Read on to find out why and how chocolate is considered the “No. 1 longevity food in the world.“

Chocolate is formed out of raw cacao seeds, the product of a fruit grown on the cacao tree (theobroma cacao).  Cacao trees are exotic—growing naturally in the shade of tropical rainforests in South America and the West Indies.  According to researchers, “The raw cacao bean is one of nature’s most fantastic superfoods due to its mineral content and wide array of unique properties.”

No wonder experts like nutritionist David Wolfe, author of Naked Chocolate, are extolling the benefits of the world’s most popular comfort food.  Its benefits are far-reaching:

check out the book: Naked Chocolate: The Astounding Truth About The World’s Greatest Food

Chocolate is good for sufferers of asthma, as it contains the anti-asthmatic compounds theobromine and theyophilline.
Cocoa, a component of chocolate, contains flavonels, antioxidants that increase blood flow to the brain.
Cacao also contains high levels of sulfur and magnesium, increasing your focus and alertness.
Chocolate can actually make you happier, longer. That’s because cacao enhances the amount of time the happiness-inducing compound anandamide stays in your system.
Chocolate decreases your anxiety and stress levels. A clinical trial demonstrated that dark chocolate reduced the production of stress hormones in as little as two weeks!
Chocolate is good for your teeth; the theobromine compound contained in chocolate kills the bacteria that cause cavities.
Chocolate contains zinc, a key mineral that contributes to the health of your immune system, liver, pancreas and skin.
Chocolate ensures your blood stays healthy, as it contains the key mineral copper.
Chocolate is considered by many nutritionists to be the best food for your heart.  A study conducted by the German Institute of Human Nutrition found that chocolate consumption lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, in part due to chocolate’s ability to reduce blood pressure.


In addition, a 15-year study involving men ages 65 and older, scientists studied the eating and exercising habits of 470 men, tracking their chocolate intake as well.  Their results?  “The men in the group that consumed the least cocoa were twice as likely to die from a heart attack than those in the group that consumed the most cocoa.”  Additionally, “Men in the study who consumed the most cocoa were less likely to die of any cause.”

     Just because chocolate is good for your health doesn’t mean you should indulge in the rich, calorific, sugar-laden chocolates that are widely available.  Many commercial chocolate bars contain ingredients such as refined sugar or unhealthy sweeteners, trans fatty acids and artificial flavors.  The key to gaining the most benefit from the world’s No. 1 longevity food is to choose chocolate that is …

organic

dark (as opposed to milk chocolate)

raw

stone-ground and/or cold-processed  … with a minimum of additives that can negate the health benefits.

Such chocolates  like; organic dark chocolate, especially; xocai brand cold processed natural dark chocolate are available at raw-food and natural-food stores, as well as online chocolate retailers like Amazon, Sacred Chocolate.

Natural Perfume Notes: Suspect Sniffs – Pleasing Aromas Harbor Hidden Dangers

had to share this great post by new awakenings mag about more benefits of natural perfumes vs synthetics:

Pleasing Aromas Harbor Hidden Dangers

A special aroma may be pleasing to the senses and psyche, but some perfume fragrances contain dangerous synthetic and toxic ingredients that can enter the body through the skin and lungs. Scientists at the Hospital General Universitario de Valencia, in Spain, found that about one in every 10 people will consequently suffer allergic reactions that include itchy, scaly, discolored, painful skin and asthma attacks. The European Union Scientific Committee on Cosmetic and Non-Food Products warns against their damage to the immune and endocrine systems, and Greenpeace cautions that the harmful ingredients can enter ecosystems.

Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory Properties Of Essential Oils And Aromatherapy

Essential oils really are little miracles in a bottle. Especially when you employ the use of therapeutic grade essential oils.

I had to reblog this great post  from holistichealthliving about anti-inflammatory, and analgesic essential oils, because it reminded me why I used many similar essential oils in my Natural Tiger Balm Recipe.

A Look At The Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory Properties Of Essential Oils And Aromatherapy

“A look at the latest data uncovers a long list of abstracts where researchers have confirmed the anti-inflammatory effects of therapeutic essential oils. The oils used in therapies have been meticulously extracted to keep their medicinal potential. There’s a wide difference in aromatic oils in terms of their medicinal action, and one need to find therapeutic quality essential oils to realize this property.”

essential oil scientific research on the human brain

Image
This is so interesting, a must-read for updates on essential oil scientific research on the brain:

Ananda Apothecary wrote:

Scientific research regarding health and medical applications of essential oils is going on regularly at universities and other facilities around the world. Many of these studies are immediately applicable to aromatherapy practitioners for improved health and well-being, while others spark interest in the potential of essential oils as a part of future medicine protocols. Modern scientific research is regularly confirming aromatherapy’s practical medical applications!

Here’s a look at two important journal publications just released about direct effects of essential oils in the brain, reviewed by the staff at Ananda Aromatherapy of Boulder, Colorado.

In the first study, performed at the Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of Shizuoka Japan, Tarragon, Inula, Lavender and Tulsi~Holy Basil were tested for their ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. In other words, their ability to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, the primary information-handling neurotransmitter. Supplements with this action are becoming more and more popular with regular folks trying to increase their smarts, and are used to treat dementia (Alzheimer’s) by increasing the amount of acetylcholine in the brain.

Of the essential oils tested, Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) produced in France had the highest inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, though all the oils tested showed significant AChE inhibitory activity. All the oils were analyzed by GC/MS to find the individual natural chemical constituents of the oils which produced this effect. Of real interest is that 1,8-Cineol had the greatest inhibitory activity of all the constituents examined. Why this this interesting? Rosemary essential oil has long been considered a mental stimulant (we find in the office to be particularly brightening) and has been studied for this effect, improving mental focus in humans through a variety of tests. The primary component of Rosemary essential oil is 1,8-Cineol (it is also a major constituent of Eucalyptus oils, used for invigorating massages and steam treatments).

Also of great interest was that the effect of these constituents relative to their amounts in the complete natural essential oil was not very high – meaning the complete essential oil, with nature’s balance of the chemical constituents, was synergistically more effective than the singly-extracted molecules. This is a theme in aromatherapy: that the complete natural essential oil will generally have more benefits than a single ‘active ingredient’ extracted in a laboratory — Therapeutic grade oils are those that retain the natural balance of the plant’s, with proper harvesting and distillation methods.

The second study very much ties in with the first, as it demonstrates the ability of Lemon essential oil to directly prevent dementia (Alzheimer’s).

How can you benefit from these studies? The best method is to find a cold-air nebulizing diffuser. These employ no water or other carrier, and make a very fine mist of essential oils that easily evaporate into your room. These are the only diffusers that create high concentrations of essential oils in the air — enough to show measurable biochemical effects. A ‘warming’ diffuser or other non-nebulizing style will allow you to smell the aroma, though the concentration will be significantly lower.

Natural Tiger Balm Recipe

from herbsandoilsworld

No one likes having aches & pains, and what better way to get relief with an all-natural product that you’ve made yourself?

Tiger Balm is an old remedy that’s been around for ages helping people deal with everyday muscle and joint pains and works miracles for deep relief. It’s also great for; arthritis, back pain, sprains, joint pain, tension headaches, muscle strain or aches, and even offers a little relief from common cold symptoms.

When your muscles and joints feel stiff and sore, the warming effect of this all-natural ointment, linament, or balm soothes the aches, and lessens the pain when massaged into your skin. It’s also great when used in conjunction with a damp heat wrap (warm compress) over the affected area.

And since your skin is the largest organ of the human body, why use products with petrolatum or other harmful ingredients? Make your own, with ingredients your body will love (it’s so easy!) and your wallet will thank you too. It may seem like alot to spend at first, to get everything you need, but if you suffer from on-going pain, and do some crunching with the numbers, you will be suprised with how much you get out of them, it’s quite a bit cheaper to make your own.

Wax is needed, and I like using natural beeswax instead of paraffin-based waxes. Also, I think the combination of African Shea Butter (Pure Raw Unrefined ), olive, grapeseed, and coconut oils make a perfectly balanced texture for this balm. But feel free to experiment with any of your favorite carrier oils (like sweet almond, avocado (great for dry skin), or even fractionated coconut oil (awesome for a dryer feel). You’ll also need menthol crystals.

Read the rest of my infobarrel article (the entire recipe here). Below is ONLY the essential oils needed:

Essential oils:

Notes About Menthol Crystals:

Using in a salve: Melt all ingredients together except for the menthol and essential oils. Remove from heat, stir in menthol crystals, re-heat until crystals are melted if needed. Remove from heat and let cool before stirring in the essential oils or they will evaporate, pour into containers.

If you don’t have experience in using menthol crystals, they are quite powerful, so do wear a mask when using them and caution, you don’t want to have your head right over the bowl when mixing this item.

Menthol crystals are soluble in alcohol, essential oils and olive oil but almost insoluble in water and glycerin, with a melting point that typically averages 41°C to 44°C (105.8°F to 111.2°F), and boils at 212°C (413.6°F).

Menthol is the chief constituent of mint oil and is responsible for its distinctive odor and taste and the “cooling sensation” it produces when applied to the skin.

Mentha piperita contains up to 50% menthol and Mentha arvensis contains 70-80% menthol.

Menthol and its derivatives can also be added to various peppermint type compositions to enhance the cooling and freshening effects. In ointments, liniments, and solutions menthol crystals are employed in strengths ranging from 5 to 20 per cent, and the crystals are commonly applied to cosmetics, salves and balms.

Use a few drops on the tiles of the walls surrounding your shower (not on the floor!) and the menthol will be released by the steam created by the hot water. Externally, it is employed as a local analgesic, but it must be diluted first in an adequate carrier and may be rubbed liberally on the skin. here you will notice that it produces a sensation of immediate cold, followed by numbness and partial anesthesia; it first stimulates the nerves, conveying the sensation of cold, and later penetrates the skin and paralyzes the nerve endings.

Note:

Not for use on small children or pets.

Frankincense ensures King Richard the Lionheart entrance to heaven

Happy March!

I had to giggle when I read this post today.

Apparently, long ago, kings and royalty used Frankincense in their burial rites not only for embalming purposes, but to ensure they would be granted entrance to heaven. LOL!

If that were still true today, Frankincense would probably be in such short supply that the price would be unaffordable for any ‘commoner’.

Image

 

When embalmed after his death in April 1199, the heart of King Richard I was soaked in frankincense – suggesting that the monarch feared that his many acts of treachery and brutality might exclude him from the kingdom of heaven.

Autopsy of 12th-century monarchy reveals heart embalmed in purifying frankincense …read more about it here.

We found many interesting things,” he said. “But the most interesting was the presence, in substantial quantities, of frankincense, which has never been found in any other embalming. It is unique. This suggests that Richard, and those around him, knew of episodes in his life which had a bad smell… Frankincense, linked to Christ’s story, may have been intended to make him smell like a saint and therefore to ease his passage to heaven.”

Although Richard has gone down in popular history as a good and noble king, his 41 years were stained with treacherous revolts against his father, King Henry II, and with massacres of Muslims during the Crusades and of English Jews. He is also believed by historians to have had a number of homosexual love affairs – something then regarded as unnatural.

Now Frankincense has an even greater spiritual context ! LOL… I better invest in Frankincense!! :D

Sacred Geometry Music and Essential Oils

The connections between music and essential oils with Sacred Geometry just make sense as energy is energy no matter the type.

Here’s a super interesting page explaining sacred geometry.

Sacred Geometry and Essential Oils:

Morningstar said,

The study of Sacred Geometry takes us back into the primordial beginnings of all that ever was, is and will be. It is the understanding of how one shift changes the pattern of the whole, even those shifts that appear to be very minor on the surface. They cause a rippling affect that impacts how the whole is able to function and evolve, often in surprising ways.

The essential oils she uses in her energy blends cooincide with the higher beings she was working with creating these essences.

Here’s a couple examples of Morningstar’s work:

The Square Root of Two Essence Oil -

contains; Essential Oils of Pink Grapefruit, Black Pepper & Sweet Orange

The Square Root of Two

Affirmation – I Now Recognise The Truth Of Me, That I Am A Powerful & Magnificent Being The whole is more than the sum of its parts. Integrating and expressing the essential truth that you are far more than simply “human”, as most people think of being human, but are instead a complex and extremely powerful being who has entered the earth plane to express the truth of yourself and see it in manifest form all around you. Shifting from one frame of reference to another, generating great power and energy through the unification of all parts of your being. The Golden Ratio Tracing your lineage through both the earth plane and other realms of existence. Helpful for Star Seed people who feel little connection to the earth plane or wonder what their purpose or mission is here. This essence helps them to define who they are and receive validation for this awareness in abundance as well as understanding one’s Soul Purpose and destiny.

Glossary of Energy Terms

Alchemy
The investigation of nature & spiritual discipline. In the creation of alchemy multiple elements are combined as parts of one greater force to effect a potent synergy.
Divine Alchemy

Sacred Geometry
 Sacred Geometry is a term used to describe patterns, shapes and forms that are part of the make up of all living things and that regularly occur in nature. The ancient cultures (Celts, Druids, Egyptians, Knights Templar) and aboriginal peoples (Mayan, Hopi) recognized these geometrical signatures and numeric frequencies as the foundation of the blue print of life.

Healing Water
Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that water had the capacity to imprint thoughts & emotional states. Through photographs, Dr. Emoto captured pictures of ice crystals reflecting the spiritual consciousness of it’s surroundings proving that water can be programmed with healing & life supporting intent.

Quartz
Quartz crystals are found in watches, radios & medical devices because of their ability to transmit energy. As both conduits and amplifiers of energy, crystals are alive & active and can be programmed with healing intentions and used to potentiate other forms of energy.

Reiki
Reiki is based on an ancient form of Japanese healing which uses symbols and healing touch to transmit energy. The universal energy system of Reiki heals, harmonizes and balances in support of wellbeing.

Tachyon
Tachyon is an energy that first emerges out of formless Zero-Point Energy. Just like Zero-Point Energy, Tachyon is not limited to a certain frequency. Tachyon Energy, because it is a source particle, provides the potential to restore harmonious healing frequencies and a natural state of order, balance & wellbeing.

Sacred Geometry
Sacred Geometry is a term used to describe patterns, shapes and forms that are part of the make up of all living things and that regularly occur in nature. The ancient cultures (Celts, Druids, Egyptians, Knights Templar) and aboriginal peoples (Mayan, Hopi) recognized these geometrical signatures and numeric frequencies as the foundation of the blue print of life.

Introduction to Sacred Geometry

by Bruce Rawles, author of the ‘Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook’

In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. These inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances.

They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created.

Starting with what may be the simplest and most perfect of forms, the sphere is an ultimate expression of unity, completeness, and integrity. There is no point of view given greater or lesser importance, and all points on the surface are equally accessible and regarded by the center from which all originate. Atoms, cells, seeds, planets, and globular star systems all echo the spherical paradigm of total inclusion. READ MORE

Natural DIY Winter Skin Anti-Aging Facial Cream

rose essential oilIt’s amazing what winter’s cold dry air can do to your skin. During this time of year it’s always a good idea to use a heavier skin treatment than you would during the summer months.

Here’s a great little DIY recipe that is not only beautifully scented and all natural, but really great for winter skin.  I use this cream/serum type mixture all over my face as well as an eye makeup remover….it’s fabulous!

Winter Anti-Aging Rose Facial Cream:

  • 1/2 oz + Rosewater or Rose Hydrosol
  • 1 oz. witchhazel
  • 3/4 oz. glycerin
  • 3 TBL orange blossom honey
  • 3 TBL Rosehip seed oil (and/or argan or wheatgerm oil)
  • 1/4 oz. Vit. E
  • 3-10 drops of anti-aging essential oils (I use rose, neroli, jasmine, ylang ylang, frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh, patchouli, and geranium)

Combine everything in a glass bowl and gently mix w/ whisk until thouroughly combined. Store in airtight glass jar at  room temp.. (around 67 degrees). This will last you through the winter in most cases. You can use only one of the essential oils listed, or a combination of these, or any mixture thereof. I tweak this recipe everytime I use it and sometimes use more or less of these ingredients, so whatever consistency you like feel free to ammend this however you choose. Happy blending! :)
