El Arte de la Aromaterapia Saludable


Book Description

Para el cuerpo y la mente En la actualidad la aromaterapia es una medicina complementaria ampliamente practicada, que utiliza aceites esenciales de plantas aromáticas, flores, hojas, semillas, cortezas y frutas para ayudar a curar. Los aceites esenciales se extraen normalmente mediante un proceso de destilación al vapor y suelen usarse: Holísticamente, donde los aceites se usan (frecuentemente con masaje) para tratar trastornos emocionales y físicos. Clínicamente, usados en combinación con los tratamientos de la medicina oficial. Estéticamente, donde quizá esté su uso más extendido, en el que los aceites se utilizan en quemadores o difusores en casa o se añaden a los baños. ¿Cómo funciona? La aromaterapia actúa sobre nuestro sentido del olfato y mediante la absorción al torrente sanguíneo. Aproximadamente el 15 por ciento del aire que inhalamos se dirige al techo de la nariz, donde los receptores olfatorios transportan los olores directamente a una parte del cerebro llamada sistema límbico. "Se cree que las antiguas civilizaciones usaban la aromaterapia de muchas maneras y por muchas razones como, por ejemplo, en el masaje, los baños, como medicina e incluso para embalsamar cuerpos". Este área está conectada con el instinto, el humor y la emoción y se cree que la aromaterapia puede estimular la liberación de sustancias químicas que juegan un papel en la liberación de emociones (piensa como incluso el simple olor a cera de suelo puede hacerte volver rápidamente a la época de las aulas). ¿Cuál es la historia de la aromaterapia? Se cree que las antiguas civilizaciones usaban la "aromaterapia" de muchas maneras y por muchas razones como por ejemplo en el masaje, los baños, como medicina e incluso para embalsamar cuerpos. Probablemente el concepto se usó originariamente y al mismo tiempo en China, Egipto, el Oriente Medio y por los Nativos Americanos, siendo después introducido en Europa por los Romanos. La práctica de la aromaterapia moderna se atribuyó principalmente al químico francés René-Maurice Gattefossé. Él inició la investigación de los poderes curativos de los aceites esenciales en el primer cuarto de siglo después de observar cómo el aceite de lavanda parecía ayudar en la curación de una quemadura severa que tenía en una mano. También publicó en 1937 el primer tratado en la materia: "La aromaterapia de Gattefossé", publicación aún hoy disponible. La palabra aromaterapia proviene del griego, de las palabras "aroma" que significa fragancia u olor agradable y "therapeia" que significa curación. ¿Puede usarse realmente la aromaterapia para curar enfermedades? La aromaterapia parece tener su efecto más beneficioso en las dolencias menores, problemas digestivos, síndrome premenstrual, enfermedades relacionadas con el estrés y algunos problemas de piel. Algunos aceites esenciales como el aceite del árbol de té se utilizan ampliamente por sus propiedades antisépticas. Es extremadamente improbable que la aromaterapia cure enfermedades más importantes, por lo que no recomendamos que se utilice en estos casos en sustitución de la medicina convencional. Sin embargo, puede usarse para aliviar el estrés psicológico experimentado por las personas que sufren de una patología grave.

A Book for Her


Book Description

Bridget Christie is a stand-up comedian, idiot and feminist. On the 30th of April 2012, a man farted in the Women’s Studies Section of a bookshop and it changed her life forever. A Book For Her details Christie’s twelve years of anonymous toil in the bowels of stand-up comedy and the sudden epiphany that made her, unbelievably, one of the most critically acclaimed British stand-up comedians this decade, drawing together the threads that link a smelly smell in the women’s studies section to the global feminist struggle. Find out how nice Peter Stringfellow’s fish tastes, how yoghurt advertising perpetuates rape myths, and how Emily Bronte used a special ladies’ pen to write Wuthering Heights. If you’re interested in comedy and feminism, then this is definitely the book for you. If you hate both then I’d probably give it a miss. “Christie is adept at turning on a sixpence between being comical, or serious, or both at once, and at pricking her own earnestness.” Telegraph ‘Christie piles derision and tomfoolery upon everyday sexism, while never pretending that jokes alone will solve the problem.’ Guardian




The Heart of Yoga


Book Description

The first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to viniyoga--yoga adapted to the needs of the individual. • A contemporary classic by a world-renowned teacher. • This new edition adds thirty-two poems by Krishnamacharya that capture the essence of his teachings. Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who lived to be over 100 years old, was one of the greatest yogis of the modern era. Elements of Krishnamacharya's teaching have become well known around the world through the work of B. K. S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Indra Devi, who all studied with Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar lived and studied with his father all his life and now teaches the full spectrum of Krishnamacharya's yoga. Desikachar has based his method on Krishnamacharya's fundamental concept of viniyoga, which maintains that practices must be continually adapted to the individual's changing needs to achieve the maximum therapeutic value. In The Heart of Yoga Desikachar offers a distillation of his father's system as well as his own practical approach, which he describes as "a program for the spine at every level--physical, mental, and spiritual." This is the first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to the age-old principles of yoga. Desikachar discusses all the elements of yoga--poses and counterposes, conscious breathing, meditation, and philosophy--and shows how the yoga student may develop a practice tailored to his or her current state of health, age, occupation, and lifestyle. This is a revised edition of The Heart of Yoga.
