What are Essential Oils?

Essential Oils aren’t really oils at all. Essential oils are the subtle liquids that are distilled from plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees. According to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years ago to heal the sick. They are the oldest form of medicine and cosmetics known to man and were considered more valuable than gold.

There are 188 references to oils in the Bible. In Exodus, Moses was given the formula for a “holy anointing oil.” When Jesus Christ was born the wise men brought gifts of Frankincense and Gold and Myrrh. During the time of Christ, Frankincense was considered the most prized commodity in the world because of its healing properties and use in spirituals rituals. (Clinical studies show that frankincense oil contains very high immune stimulating qualities.) Modern science is only beginning to investigate the incredible healing substances found in essential oils…something our great—great-great grandparents already knew.
