Benefits of Natural Medicine: Bursera Graveolens Palo Santo

2011-11-29T10:17:00.001-05:00

Many proponents of healing through plants and natural treatments, after overcoming problems with conventional or Western medicine because of the intense campaign to discredit the healing power of plants, now take prominence in the field of natural medicine.

A clear and well-known example is the use of “Palo Santo Bursera Graveolens” raw material after a thorough process allows the production of pure essential oils, they are used for the manufacture of: Incense, Palosanto Soaps, Natural skin Creams, Shampoo and Rinse the PaloSanto.

Products used to perform massage and aromatherapy in order to improve the physical and emotional health of people.

The healing properties of the stem of the tree are also used to create natural products that serve to prevent and cure diseases like flu, cough, asthma, among other things.

Then, and according to research conducted by EcuadorianHands.com, a company that aims to spread the local handicrafts through its worldwide sales and Manta is based, we leave to your consideration a list of the advantages of natural medicine:

1 .- They are less aggressive to the body.

2 .- Promote the general welfare, not only fighting a symptom. Many natural treatments also help you with your emotions.

3 .- They have long-term effects. Unlike many medicines that stop your body substances that can damage your organs.

4 .- cheaper. Because you are not paying neither the laboratory nor the patent.

5 .- The preventive. You can receive a treatment before disease symptoms appear.

6 .- They are not aggressive with the body. To be natural, without exception, are easy to digest and eliminate.

7 .- The holistic, non-specific. They look at the body as a whole, are concerned that everything is okay, not a party.

I share this little introduction to PaloSanto:

So to preserve the health, using natural medicine of the Ecuadorian Amazon and the coast of Ecuador. Read more information about organic medicine in Ecuador;

Panama Hats or Montecriti Hats: Real piece of art! Video Documentary Part 1

2011-09-23T10:46:00.001-05:00

Hello Dear Readers,

I’ve been asked by many of you to post information about the materials used in all the products sold at EcuadorianHands.com, plus info about the process to manufacturing them. I will try to do so, little by little. Please have a little patience

Researching I was able to get an instructional documentary about Panama Hats. However it was too long and had to edited and split it in to 3 parts. Plus, translate it for you my friends. Quite a challenge to test our video editing skills

This video is the 1st part of a tv show elaborated by OroMar TV “Asi se Hace Ecuador”. It show the reality of the Montecristi Hat, mistakenly known as Panama Hats.

>>>Beginning in the early to mid-1600′s hat weaving evolved as a cottage industry all along the Ecuadorian coast. Hat weaving and wearing grew steadily in Ecuador through the 17th and 18th centuries. Even then, the best quality hats were being made in what is now the province of Manabí. Watch the videio>>>

Panama Hat real history>>>> And remember. Panama Hats, or Montecristi Hats are available in any of these styles: Fedora Hats, Borsalino Hats and so on!

I hope you find it attractive and educational.

I’ll see you all in my next post. Aloha,

Fabrizio

From Russia with Love: Tagua Beads reach Russian Market!

2011-07-15T09:16:00.000-05:00

Hello Dear friends,

First of all please accept my apologies for not writting before, but I was too busy getting everything ready for our Tagua Beads Catalog 2011. Actually it should be seed beads since we also carry coconut beads. It has been quite an adventure, but I will share about this in my next posts.

Today’s tittle is the same as the famous movie of british agent 007 (by the way, I am a big fan of his movies). The reason is that a few months we got contacted by some people from Russia asking for Tagua Beads. After checking in our records we out it was Alexander, who bought beads from us back in Mar 2010. After catching up, we found out she and her partner were doing very nice with their bead shop, that tagua demand was increasing and they needed more stocks. They bought quite a large arsenal of beads, over 80kilos. Very surprising for a 2nd order!

We took advantage of the opportunity and asked Alexander to answer our questions about their experiences with new business, and here is what she shared with us:

How did you learn about Tagua beads? We thought it was interesting for us and started learning more about this material. We especially liked the Tagua color range and forms range.

What did influence your decision to buy tagua beads? Although, ecofriendly quality wins among others.

What is your top 5 or top 10 beads for a jewelry work? Tagua bead, glass beads, pendants, metal beads.

What do you like about tagua beads? Variety of Colors! EH: I would have to comment, most of the people say same thing.

What did you do with the Tagua beads you bought? Tell us about the design you elaborated. Send photos, videos, website, etc. Our clients are really interested in this maretial and we witness the demand for Tagua grows increasingly.

Would you say that your designs are made respecting the environment? Why? We support sustainability ideas and encourage using ecofriendly materials in beeded jewelery design. More over we share these ideas with our clients and prove that Tagua products are not only ecofriendly but also how very beautiful.

General questions.- (A little about you)

Where do you live? Russia. Moscow.

Tell us how you started beading Our hobby outgrows into business. This is just great!!

How many years do you have beading? Our shop opened in spring 2010.

How many hours a week you devote to this activity?Both our work and hobby is linked to handmade activity.

Tagua Beads Catalog 2011: A work in progress – Looking for a coverpage tagua artwork

2011-07-15T09:12:00.001-05:00

Hello Again and Good morning!

I have very good news! Brand new models and brand new pictures of our beads.

We’ve been working in our printed tagua beads catalog. (I really believe this would be the 1st one available). It has been quite an amazing journey, researching, taking pictures, etc. The roadmap has been something like this:

- We are about to finish taking pictures. They are very beautiful, hope you like them. Check them out at our online beads store or at http://www.flickr.com/photos/vercex/sets/72157626753476542/

- All research is done. How tagua beads are manufactured, step by step process starting in the rain forest.

- We are now designing the artwork of the catalog. It would be about 50 pages, I think.

- Thinking about the cover page of the catalog we think it would be a good idea to put a great artwork of tagua. I have some tagua artworks of my past giveaways, and I was thinking of throwing some contest; the winner will be in our coverpage. After a lot of think and inquiring some good friends, it turned out to be a good idea after all.

So we decided to move ahead and take advantage of our current giveaway (our jewelry making contest), and put an additional prize: The Tagua beaded jewerly that gets the most comment will be the cover of our Tagua Beads Catalog. How cool is that?

In other words, all the artworks that we receive until Jun 25th will participate. We will accept all materials. We still giveaway $20-worth in Tagua Beads to the piece that gets more comments. But only the best tagua beaded jewelry participates to be our coverart! More informacion here read our jewelry making contest.

Here are some of our new models, I really hope you like them. We’ve put a lot of effort on it! Remember, all our beads are available un 23 colors.

Hello Dear Friends,

The other day I was contacted by a lady from Canada. She’d had read info about tagua and was interested in getting tagua beads.

She landed into our bead store with the intention of making a trial order. She went over all the selection process and was doing the checkout when she realized the cost of the delivery. She was buying $40 worth of beads and our system showed $40 for delivery. Obviously she thought it was absurd and quit the store. This couldn’t be farer from the truth! However, this was a lost sell! Too bad for us

Lucky us, this kind lady took the time to write and let me know about this situation. This got me thinking: How many customers would have had thought the same way, quit the store, and lost the opportunity of learning about these exotic ivory beads? Hard to tell, but this motivated me to write this post. I hope you like it!
