Essential Patch of Boulder, Colo. Launches All-Natural Aromatherapy Patches!

Convenient, stick-on patches deliver intensive blend of organic essential oils for immediate relief.

2012-11-07
BOULDER, CO, November 07, 2012 (Press-News.org) Essential Patch, a modern holistic medicine company with a philanthropic philosophy, introduces its first collection of all-natural aromatherapy patches.

By tapping into the body's natural physiological and psychological responses to aromatic plant extracts, these easy-to-use patches utilize organic, therapeutic grade essential oils to alleviate common maladies and promote overall well being.

"Aromatherapy has been providing relief from various ailments for thousands of years, but still, most people find the concept of blending their own essential oils a bit confusing," says Laura Sampadian, co-founder of Essential Patch. "We thought it was important to translate this ancient method of alternative healing into a convenient, easy-to-use product that fits into our modern lifestyle, all while providing a safe, effective remedy for common issues."

Designed to adhere to the body much like a stick-on bandage, these latex-free, preservative-free patches are made from 100 percent cotton and a specially formulated blend of USDA Certified Organic essential oils. Once applied to the body, the Essential Patch starts working in two ways: through the immediate inhalation of aromatic vapors and through topical ingestion, absorbed directly through the skin and into the bloodstream. Currently, Essential Patch offers six restorative formulas:

Essential Patch Varieties
Sleep Aid: Mandarin and Roman Chamomile
Allergy Relief: Tea Tree, Lemongrass and Geranium
Cough & Cold: Eucalyptus, Lemon and Silver Fir
Health & Wellness: Lemon, Frankincense and Lime
Stress Relief: Lavender, Lemon and Mandarin
Headache Relief: Grapefruit, Peppermint and Copaiba

Derived from a strong belief in healthy living, natural remedies and giving back to the global community, Essential Patch will donate a percentage of proceeds to select nonprofit organizations around the world. Its first Essential Mission is to donate $1,000 to The Medicine Abuse Project, The Partnership at DrugFree.org.

Essential Patch is an effective all-natural line of easy to use, essential oil patches, which promote health and relieve your body's most common ailments.

Earth on acid: The present & future of global acidification

2012-11-06
Boulder, CO, USA – Climate change and extreme weather events grab the headlines, but there is another, lesser known, global change underway on land, in the seas, and in the air: acidification. It turns out that combustion of fossil fuels, smelting of ores, mining of coal and metal ores, and application of nitrogen fertilizer to soils are all driving down the pH of the air, water, and the soil at rates far faster than Earth's natural systems can buffer, posing threats to both land and sea life. "It's a bigger picture than most of us know," says Janet Herman of the Department ...

Rate of heart disease risk factors vary across Hispanic/Latino background groups

SAN DIEGO – (Monday, November 5, 2012) – Heart disease risk factors are widespread among Hispanic/Latino adults in the United States, with 80 percent of men and 71 percent of women having at least one risk factor for heart disease, according to a San Diego State University study funded by the National Institutes of Health. These percentages are much higher than the general population, where approximately 49 percent of adults have at least one major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Findings from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), ...

Telltale visible signs of aging may predict heart disease

2012-11-06
If you look old, your heart may feel old, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012. In a new study, those who had three to four aging signs — receding hairline at the temples, baldness at the head's crown, earlobe crease, or yellow fatty deposits around the eyelid (xanthelasmata) — had a 57 percent increased risk for heart attack and a 39 percent increased risk for heart disease. "The visible signs of aging reflect physiologic or biological age, not chronological age, and are independent of chronological age," said ...

High blood pressure in young adults likely to go undiagnosed

2012-11-06
Adults 18-24 years old with high blood pressure were 28 percent less likely to be diagnosed during doctor visits than those 60 and older, according to findings presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012. "These young patients come to the clinic and their blood pressure is recorded," said Heather Johnson, M.D., lead researcher of the study. "They have high blood pressure, but there's no documentation of a diagnosis. We wanted to find out why." Researchers examined electronic health records of 13,593 men and women who were at least 18 years ...

Heart-related deaths increase in winter regardless of climate

2012-11-06
No matter what climate you live in, you're more likely to die of heart-related issues in the winter, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012. "This was surprising because climate was thought to be the primary determinant of seasonal variation in death rates," said Bryan Schwartz, M.D., lead author of the study. Researchers at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles analyzed 2005-08 death certificate data from seven U.S. locations with different climates: Los Angeles County, Calif.; Texas; Arizona; Georgia; Washington; ...

Drug trio improved effectiveness of cancer treatment, protected heart

2012-11-06
Combining cancer medication with a drug for erectile dysfunction and one for heart transplants helped kill cancer cells and protected the heart from damage, in a study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012. For decades, doxorubicin has been a powerful anti-cancer treatment for various human cancers, including breast, ovarian, colon and prostate. But its use has been limited due to harmful, possibly irreversible effects on the heart. In this study, using cell and animal models, researchers found that sildenafil alone or in combination with ...

2011 Virginia quake triggered landslides at extraordinary distances

2011 Virginia quake triggered landslides at extraordinary distances
2012-11-06
The 2011 Mineral, Virginia M-5.8 earthquake was felt over an extraordinarily large area. A new study details landslides triggered by the earthquake at distances four times greater and over an area 20 times larger than previously documented for M-5.8 earthquakes worldwide. The study, to be published in the December issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA), describes physical confirmation of previous observations that ground shaking from earthquakes in the eastern U.S. travels farther than in the western U.S, a plate-boundary region. U.S. ...

Surprising findings from NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project reported

A multi-institutional team of researchers has sequenced the DNA of 6,700 exomes, the portion of the genome that contains protein-coding genes, as part of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)-funded Exome Sequencing Project, one of the largest medical sequencing studies ever undertaken. Scientists participating in the project initially expected that individual rare variants would have a greater effect on over 80 heart, lung and blood related traits and diseases of high public health significance, said Suzanne M. Leal, Ph.D., professor and director, Center ...

New study finds that 75 percent of patients taking popular blood-thinners are getting wrong dose

2012-11-06
SALT LAKE CITY – Cardiology researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute have found that approximately 75 percent of patients taking two common blood-thinning drugs may be receiving the wrong dosage levels, according to a new study. This could put them at risk for serious problems like uncontrolled bleeding or developing blood clots. Millions of Americans with coronary artery disease take one of the two drugs — clopidogrel (Plavix) and prasugrel (Effient) — to prevent harmful blood clots that can cause a stroke or heart attack. Current guidelines ...
