Since the game is basically about rekindling the flame, it COULD be safe to assume that estus is a form of fire that is beneficial to the undead since you heal at a bonfire and you also refill your estus. It may be that the estus comes from the bonfire since by leveling up the bonfire, more charges can be used. A bigger bonfire may mean a more bountiful source of estus if you follow this knowledge.
