We have a Far Infrared Sauna here at Enuma Elish, combine that with a massage and feel the health benefits stated below, get your health back on track today give us a call.
Thousands of massage therapists are now incorporating infrared sauna sessions into their menu of services, and clients are routinely requesting the new technology for elimination of toxins, healing muscles, increasing circulation, firming skin, erasing sun damage, relieving joint pain and tension, and even for recovering from chemotherapy.

Infrared saunas are a noninvasive, drug free form of light therapy that can penetrate the body as much as three inches, heating muscle tissue and even internal organs without heating the surrounding air. The process promotes the elimination of medications, alcohol, nicotine, and other carcinogens that frequent the bloodstream. The saunas also facilitate weight loss, reduce stress, and boost the immune system.

Unlike traditional saunas which use air and steam, infrared sauna’s heaters emit radiant heat which is absorbed directly into the body. Also, where the traditional sauna helps the body perspire at an average ratio of 97% water and 3% waste, the infrared sauna helps the body perspire 80% water and 20% waste and toxins.

Therapists who use these systems brag about the ability to heat the bones across the ligaments and nerve endings of their clients, creating almost immediate results for removing muscle pain, especially that associated with arthritis. Some therapists even use the device on their own muscles at the end of a long day.

Many doctors are recommending infrared therapy to athletes for sports injuries and chronic pain. The therapy is also being used for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which several national health organizations have estimated to affect more than one million Americans. People with ailments and diseases of the nervous system, like fibromyalgia, are also praising infrared therapy.

Similar to exercise, infrared sauna therapy is a safe and effective way to improve circulation, and can be especially beneficial for patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. It has also been shown to improve skin tone and complexion by releasing toxins.

For those who can’t tolerate the high temperatures and humidity of traditional saunas, the infrared sauna enables core body temperature to increase without increasing surface body temperature. By increasing heart rate and cardiac output, sitting for just thirty minutes in this sauna can burn up to 600 calories.

Even though infrared technology was first discovered by NASA scientists during space exploration, its popularity has brought it “down to earth” at reasonable prices. Now, at a fraction of what they cost just ten years ago, infrared saunas are popping up in homes and natural health spas around the world.

Plant Spirit Medicine..do plants have a soul and conciousness, can they feel, do they have feelings, can you be healed by the spirit of a plant, can you meet with this spirit? Well I say yes to all the above and as I journey more into the plant world, and my herbs, and our beautiful rainforest I find this to be the truth more often. Why does that Stinging Tree want to get my attention, the plant spirit tells me it is a great protector of all that is negative, nothing can attach to you, especially on the spiritual level, no dark energies can harm you if you work with the spirit of the Stinging Tree. The tallest Blud Gum in the Forest tells me to call on its spirit when you need strength and to get above problems in your life, and to be grounded on your spiritual path....as above so below it says. Lantana is interesting, beautiful in flower yet unpenatrable to get through, is this plant spirit saying there is strength in ones beauty on the inside and out, yes this one could be good for those who need self love. Ahhh, and Blue Top a rampant "weed" detested be all, and especially rampant in my garden at present. So what is the plant spirit message it has for me to work with, I feel we could work with this plant for people who have disconnection with family, or who are devoid of love from a family, Blue Top Teaches us to love thy neighbour, thy family and stay connected to the family of the world as we are all one, thankyou Blue Top Spirit, I will call on you for that. Mugwort, my favorite herb, for many reasons I would say, but the spiritual vibration it offers to those who are disconnected from spirit, is very powerful, you are in my medicine bag. I could go on, the more I connect with the Spirit of the plant the more I realise the potential in this form of healing.
What plants do you have in your area? Do any particular plants capture your attention when you pass?, whether a weed or domesticated, next time you feel watched by a plant, listen to the message it has for you, you will be surprised at how much they know and can heal. They are my teachers on my healing path. Enjoy your teachers in your area, it could be a weed coming through the crack in the footpath, or a majestic tree. Stop, Listen and Love the spirit of the plant.

This is on of my favourite spices/herbs that I love to chuck into most dishes towards the end, either dry, fresh from the garden or the Pure Essential Oil, Awesome taste Awesome healing powers....and best of all pulls a lot of Chemicals out of our bodies from this modern world of ours
Coriander
Anti cancer, blood lipid modulator, anti diabetic, chelating agent
The whole plant of the Coriander has many of the above benefits but it is the seeds that are the most important part of the plant. Often a main ingredient in curry powders, these ground seeds have many important phytochemicals. This is yet another spice that has antitumorigenic properties, especially in colon cancer. It works by protecting against the effects of oxidation associated with a malignancy. The whole plant is a wonderful heavy metal chelator, there for a must for radiation protection as well. It is also good for eliminating lead deposits from the kidneys and bones. Coriander lowers cholesterol helping to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and thereby the risk of heart attack and stroke. And yet another spice that has healing properties for diabetics with a dual effect of lowering blood glucose levels and enhancing the secretion of insulin from the pancreas.
This herb is a wonderful tasty addition to any dish. The seeds and leaves should be added to foods on a regular basis to help eliminate the toxic world of chemicals we live in.

Do you like
Black Pepper
Anti cancer, antioxidant, immunomodulator, enhances other spices therapeutic uptake
Black Pepper is another well researched spice, its phytochemicals make it a powerful additive to our foods as a health supplement. Black Pepper increase the bioavailability of other spices and it dramatically increase their potency and effectiveness against illness and can counteract the development of cancer directly. It is up there with Turmeric as one of the most important spices to inhibit cancer cells from developing. It is valuable in a diet high in saturated fats minimizing the damage the fats cause by enhancing other antioxidants in the diet along with its own powerful antioxidants. Black Pepper is capable of boosting the number and the efficiency of White blood cells.
Use Black Pepper freely on your meals to obtain the above benefits. Good in preserves it helps not only to make them tasty but healthy and preserves the food it is canned with.

For the Men and For the ladies to understand about-
PROSTATE Disorders...Herbs and Natural Remedies-
A life style change is the best thing you can do for your prostate health, that means only foods from Mother Nature, Herbs and Lots of Pure Water. If you desire meats, make them organic. The prostate Gland does not do well on a diet of chemical laden foods and dead water. I believe the prostate is also effected by pathogens in the body along with a build up of zeno estrogens. Harmful bacteria thrive on artificial foods and a high sugar diet, pathogens find this small walnut shaped organ in men a perfect place to hide. Also this chemical world we live in overlaods the body with harmful estrogen mimics from plastics and other petroleum products. If you have difficulty passing urine in any way, then it is a sign for you to clean your act up, diet and lifestyle change is the cure. If you go to a doctor then they will find a prostate cancer...even if there isn't really one there yet, thats when the......hits the fan, because there are so many misdiagnosed prostate disorders that can lead to the sickness industry, fear and death. So here are a few things beside a healthy change of diet that you can do-
Herbal Teas of- Epilobium (small leafed willow herb.. Epilobium parviflorum), Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens), Nettle Root and Leaf Tea (Urtica dioica), Urva Ursi (Artosphylos uva ursi), Horsetail (Equestium arvense). THESE HERBS CAN BE COMBINED TO MAKE A PROSTATE BLEND or just drink on thier own, but at least 2 cups of tea a day.
Herbs in Capsule form- Pygeum (Pygeum africanum)
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) used daily on cerals, cooked into your bread, or made into a drink or however you are able to take it, this is a tonic for the whole human plumbing system.
Pumpkin Seeds Organic, Very Rich in Zinc, an element needed for the prostate gland, I would also advise taking a zinc supplement, because this is not a perfect world and our bodies find it hard to uptake a lot of vitamins and minerals with all the chemicals and pathogens in the body already that inhibit the uptake.
Bee Pollen, Has a very beneficial effect on the prostate gland and the whole body.
Lycopene, the red colouring in tomatoes and other red foods is a powerful anticancer pytochemical that helps prevent prostate cancer, so the brighter the food the better. (Note the lycopene in tomatoes is more active if cooked)
Turmeric, eat as much of this wonderful herb daily, raw and powdered in drinks and foods.
Cooking Oils of Coconut, Pure Olive Oil, Hemp and Sesame should replace all other oils in your diet, definitely keep away from Canola and Soy Oils.
Kelp, All sorts of powdered and edible seaweeds have a remedial effect on an enlarged prostate as well as a cleansing effect on the blood stream.
Oregano Oil (Pure 100% theraputic grade) taken in capsules daily will help kill off any bad bacteria in the body and prostate.
Colonics Hydrotherapy and enemas help you to eleminate toxic waste, parasites and bacteria's in your colon that hinder the prostate health.
Self Massage of the Prostate Gland, Lying on your back with bended knees up to your chest and the feet together, relax then reach for the prostate gland just under the scrotum. Massage this area with coconut oil, pumpkin seed oil or hemp oil daily. To these oils you can add a few drops (no more than a few) of Pure Essential Oils either Myrrh, Balsam Fir, Thyme, Peppermint, Blue Cypress, Frankincense or Wintergreen.
Natural Progesterone (transdermal) is one of the best remedies for the Prostate Gland, to obtain this you will have to go a Doctor who specialisers in Hormones.
Lastly DO NOT FEAR a diagnosis of any disorder of the Prostate, just take your health back into your own hands by living with Mother Nature not against her. Stay in a positive mind set, very important and do the above protocols and you will heal.
From my heart

DEATH (Trisation) what does it mean to us? We all see death in our own ways, many cannot face it, even in their own families, many hold onto the grief for the rest of their own lives. I have seen death in many forms, of course on a farm you see it with your precious animals and pets. But in the human world the talk of Death is taboo, it is not talked about as we grow, it is not talked about in our schools, hardly ever with our families or friends, yet it is in our faces on the news, in vidoe games, books and more...but of course that is someone elses death isn't it? thats not real is it? TRISATION is my word, it came to me in a dream, I must admit the dream was pretty bizzare but I got the gist of it., then the word Trisation was told to me...Tri = 3 sation = feeling (ie sensation), in this dream I was told it was birth, death and rebirth....how was I to use this?? Well the opportunity arose last week when a long time friend was dying and his beautiful family honoured me by asking me to be there. Yes it was a sad thing, but I have never been more at peace than to sit with and help with the dead body move across to the other side, the spirit had been set free. I ask myself "why do I feel this peace when those around me feel so much grief!"....it is because it was just the vehicle (the body) and the spirit had been set free and in the feedom of that spirit I could feel that peace. That peace is still with me over 1 week later, and along with it comes an understanding of death that I find hard to explain. The veil is between us, the living and dead, yes we cannot see (except those with eyes wide open) but the love never stops and it permeates that veil greater than people can realise or allow themselves to feel. Death is something we all face and when we realise it is our spirit going home or the spirt of another, you can allow the love to be felt through the grief, and in that we can heal and honour those who have passed and the lesson they have shown us, for some it is a very brief life on this earth for others a long hard road. Trisation, birth...death...and rebirth into a beautiful light, our true spirit selves, a pure shinning light that can work from the other side of the veil to help us grow, learn and heal. If you are faced with or have been faced with death of a loved one. Allow yourself to feel that love they are sending and in that you will heel and feel at peace, and some amazing things can happen when we understand this world and the next. RIP my friend Steve you have taught me much on your departure, it was an honour to sit with you and have you impart this beatuiful peace upon me.

Well folks it seems man knows better than Mother Nature again. KRONIC the new "alternative" high is taking over the smoking world and bringing with it, unkown, yet at this time, possibly some very harmful problems/side effects for those who use it. What is KRONIC? Well not much can be found on its base ingredients, but these beautiful and harmless herbs, that would now be lining up to have their heads cut off on the "Ilegal chopping block" are being adulterated with synthectic chemicals and cannabinoids. What I can find is these herbs such as Beach Bean, Blue Egyptian Water lilly, Scullcap, Lions Tail, Indian Lotus and Honeyweed, all make up the green herbal contents of the smoke. While each of these herbs have wonderful herbal and health implications on their own, ranging from depression to gladness and more, they are not the substance that is giving the "high" and this is only what is thought to be in the smoke as worked out by others, as the Mad Chemist behind this craze is not telling all. But whatever the the herbs (which may even be lawn clippings as one report stated), they are sprayed with a synthetic chemical maze, which is doing all the work. This Mad Chemist has recreated the many different wonderful healing cannibinoids from Mother Natures own Cannabis into synthetic chemicals and created a legal smoke to get one high. Yes, he is under the radar and gets away with it because they are synthetic. And most things in todays mad world that are synthetic are quite legal. Selling at $25 for 1 gram (or there about, depending where you buy it), Mr Mad Chemist is quickly becoming rich and the guinea pigs, the smokers are doing unknown damage to thier bodies. This is insanity at it's best folks. Here we have Cannabis, Mother Natures best medicine on the planet which is not only a cure for Cancer and other diseases of man, but also a pain killer, food, clothing, paper, oils high in Omegas and many more wonderful virtues. It is outlawed and very illegal in this country and many others....heck even the death sentence in some countries. Yet a chemical cocktail is acceptable and the only reason it will get banned is because of the base herbs in it that innocently are being used for the green look. What does KRONIC stand for? could it be..."Kill Remaining Olfactory Nerves In Civilisation"

In Yesterday's news a man was apprehended at Darwin Airport with 39 kilos of Kava Kava, said to be worth $40,000.....this is insanity at its best. Kava Kava was banned in Australia 5 years ago,( I bought some at that time 250gms $10, hmmmm now that is a huge price rise)...why? Good question. Loved by Herbalists, Kava Kava root is the best herb for insomnia, it gladens the heart and makes an over active mind quiet and helps one to sleep like a baby. No side effects, no dramas. In the news report it says it is a hallucagenic...yes, maybe, if you drink 26 cups of the tea, if you eat 26 apples, or 26 bananas you would probably spin out too. But who would drink that much? The muddy tea makes it hard to get one cup down. I have used it when it was legal for my sleep 5 years ago, numbs the tongue a bit, clears away stress and induces a good nights sleep, waking feeling great for a new day, but there is no way you could drink enough cups to see purple camels flying past, believe me the taste was not it's best virtue. So, yes why is it banned?...well maybe Big Pharma could answer that question, cripes the sleeping pill/valium industry would be out of business, people would be happy and not sleep deprived, which is such a big problem in our western world. The beautiful people of Vanuatu, Samoa and surrounds must be hallucinating on a regular basis. Those big wide smiles and those warm hand shakes must be Kava induced, so folks best not go there for holidays, better sit on our Australian Beaches where some punk may kick sand in your face, or to walk down a busy street and the only person who would smile at you is someone who just won gold lotto.Get some sleeping pills (kindly hande out by our GP's), draw the curtains and hide under the bed covers. If you look too happy you may have the Kava Cops on your doors. The west has got our people in a zombie like state, taking all manner of uppers and downers from their god like doctors whom know better than mother nature...geeze mother nature, who are you in all your perfection to give us all our needs, when man can make a synthetic drug from you and call your medicines, your plants and herbs illegal because they work and have no side effects....funny world we live in folks. Do not let man make us become dettached from Mother Nature she is the true healer here, work with her now while you still can.Coriander
Anti cancer, blood lipid modulator, anti diabetic, chelating agent
The whole plant of the Coriander has many of the above benefits but it is the seeds that are the most important part of the plant.
