Biblical and Ancient References to Essential Oils:
There are over 200 references to aromatics, incense and ointments throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The use of ointments and Essential Oils are used for anointing, preventing plagues, curing disease and much more throughout the Bible. Some common aromatics found in the Bible are: frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, cinnamon, cassia, rosemary, hyssop and spikenards, which were often used for anointing and healing the sick.
In Exodus 30:22-38, Moses is taught by God how to make Holy Anointing Oil which consists of myrrh, cinnamon, cane, cassia and olive oil. There are numerous examples of anointing throughout the Bible like John 12:3, “Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.” Spikenard is good for Emotional Balance, skin and Hair.
Ecclesiastes 9:8 “Let thy garments be always white: and let thy head lack no ointment.”
