A 100% pure essential oil is a liquid that is most frequently distilled with steam or water from the stems, leaves, bark, roots, flowers, and/or other properties of plants. It does not really feel oily to the touch, despite its name, and is more often than not clear. It has been used for hundreds of years and has proven to be beneficial in several areas associated with the physiology of the human body.

When one uses pure essential oils, a small amount is needed because they are as concentrated as they can possibly be. Because you know how far essential oils will go, they are very economical because their strength is standardized. Because they are not formulated beauty products, they are all natural and therefore less allergenic and irritating as well.

There are a lot of great cosmetics on the market for a variety of purposes, including lotions, perfumes, astringents, antiseptics, and hair care products. Though these products smell nice, they do not provide the same experience as aromatherapy with essential oils. Inhalation of eucalyptus oil clears the lungs and sinuses. Basil helps headaches. Rosemary in the hair will keep it soft and silky as well as providing a pleasant fragrance that will enhance the mood. Some oils, like neroli, can be applied directly to the skin or even eaten! Pure neroli oil can be enjoyed as aromatherapy by dripping gently on to vanilla ice cream and eating. Be sure to use a pure neroli oil and not one with a mixed carrier oil.

Aromatherapy involves a vapor of the essential oil being inhaled, coating your lungs and sinuses, and benefiting you depending on the choice of oil. Some oils have proven physiological benefits and are accepted in modern medicine and employed for a variety of uses. Some oils may have benefits that are as of yet unproven, either good or bad. Our advice to the readers is to always be cautious but definately enjoy the benefits of the oils. Watch some videos or read a few articles so you know what you are using and how and why.

When applied directly to the skin, as when one receives a massage, it can soothe inflammation, dull pain, serve as an antiseptic, or even stimulate digestion. For those interested in natural forms of skin care, these oils can also regenerate cells and serve as an anti-fungal making them highly desirable for those with various conditions that do not respond well to traditional forms of treatment.

Some essential oils can be eaten. Peppermint oil helps digestion and has a relaxing effect. Another way to use oils is in the bath. Aromatherapy can take place in a nice hot bath with a good mix of the right oils. If you are congested, try five drops of eucalyptus oil in your bath. If you have a shower curtain or door close it and keep the steam in to breathe. It will clear you up quickly.

Most of the oils on the market today are designed to lift the spirits and calm nerves. For example, lavender and vanilla are natural sedatives providing a calming effect. Basil and rosemary, on the other hand, will lift the spirits and stimulate the senses. For those who need to feel excited or exhilarated jasmine and ylang-ylang are the perfect choices.

Women who want to be beautiful and care about their health owe it to themselves to find out what essential oils can do for them. From essential oils that treat puffy eyes, to essential oils like neroli, which can make women irresistable to men, there is a vast array of choices. Videos are a great way to learn about different benefits of different oils as well as how they are safely used.

Biryani is a dish that is made using Meat and Rice, layered and cooked along with some spices… It is derived from the Persian word ‘Birian’ which implies roasting before cooking.

This very succulent dish has its origins in Persia. The story goes that the nomads and the tribals carried lots of dried meat and rice with them while they traveled, and they layered the rice and the meat and added some dry herbs and nuts and allow it to seethe on a wood fire for a short time and later buried it under the sand for a few hours, after which the dish was deemed complete. It was a fairly simple mode of cooking Biryani those days, making use of nature and its resources.

Biryani has taken a variety of forms since then, and gone on to become a gourmet dish, that has been evolved and fine-tuned to such an extent, that now one comes across at least 50 varieties of Biryanis. I may be wrong there, as the number may be greater.

Biryani has meat and rice as its necessary elements. The rest of the ingredients, differ based on the variety and style of the Biryani being cooked.

There are many varieties of Biryani within India with each city having its own style, but perhaps Biryani from Hyderabad is the most famous of the lot. Believe it or not, some of the biryani recipes are secretly guarded by restaurants and families across generations. Biryani was infact brought to India by the Mughals which was then improvised by the local Indians to suit their spice craving.

A good Biryani consists of well cooked meat and the right mix of herbs and spices, cooked together with rice. The Rice and Meat is never combined whilst cooking. They’re both cooked independently. The final stage of the cooking consists of layering the two alternatively and usually cooked either in an oven or on traditional wood fire, using low heat.

The human body has seven chakras placed in a vertical line starting form the crown of the head till the base of the spine. According to ancient Hinduism, these are the life force centers of a person, through which energy is received and transmitted and is linked with the infinite energy of the universe. Thus for the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing of a person, these chakras need to be opened. In answering ‘How to open a chakra’, the best technique is to practice chakra meditation using mudras or hand positions coupled with Sanskrit sound vibrations that will align these energy meridians.

The base or root Chakra is called the Muladhar Chakra which is located at the last bone of the spine and is symbolized by a red lotus with four petals reflecting group identity and tribal power. To open this chakra, join the tips of your thumbs and index finger and concentrate on the area between your genitals and anus where this chakra is and then chant the Sanskrit sound ‘LAM’ slowly taking in deep breadths. Remember that the ‘a’ would be pronounced as ‘ah’ and end the M with ‘mng’ in a slightly resonating and vibrating mode.

The Swadhisthana Chakra is an orange lotus with six petals located in the sacral region of a human body. To open this chakra, in a sitting position, place both your hands on your lap, the right one being on top of the left one, with palms sides up. Gently let the tips of your thumbs touch each other and meditate with the sound ‘VAM’ focusing on the chakra symbol in its proper location.

The Soar Plexus or the Manipura chakra is symbolized by a yellow lotus with ten petals. To open this chakra for improving personal power, bring both your hands in front of your stomach, just below your solar plexus joining the tips of each of your fingers excepting the thumb and then cross the thumbs over one another. Remember to keep your fingers straight which are pointing away from you and then chant the sound ‘RAM’.

The very important Anahata or the heart chakra given by the vivid green lotus with twelve petals can be opened by sitting cross legged, placing your left hand on your left knee and bringing your right hand in front touching your body at just below the breast with the tips of the index finger and the thumb joined.

Located between ones eyebrows, it is known as the third eye and is the beginning of the spiritual journey of man. To open this chakra, join the tips of your middle fingers and point them upwards, bend the rest of your fingers inside with the phalanges of the index fingers being joined and thereafter join the tips of your thumbs pointing them downwards. Chant the sound ‘AUM’ or ‘OM’ considered to be the most powerful sound in the universe.

The seventh and the highest is the Sahasrara Chakra, the violet lotus with a thousand petals reflecting the ultimate spiritual enlightenment of man. Remember not to work on this chakra before you have opened and grounded the Base Muladhar one. To open this chakra, bring both your hands in front of your stomach and cross all fingers like you do while in prayer.
