THE TWELVE OILS OF ANCIENT SCRIPTURE
Essential Oils have Been Used
For at Least 5000 Years
WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?
What are Essential Oils?
Essential Oils Defined
“The term “essential oil” is a contraction of the original
“quintessential oil.” This stems from the Aristotelian idea that matter
is composed of four elements, namely, fire, air, earth, and water.
The fifth element, or quintessence, was then considered to be spirit
or life force. Distillation and evaporation were thought to be
processes of removing the spirit from the plant and this is also
reflected in our language since the term “spirits” is used to describe
distilled alcoholic beverages such as brandy, whiskey, and eau de
vie. The last of these again shows reference to the concept of
removing the life force from the plant. …..”
National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy
UNIQUE CHEMISTRY OF BIBLICAL OILS:
The dominant classes of compounds in the oils of the Bible are: Sesquiterpenes,
Monoterpenes, and Phenols (including phenylpropanoids) along with Ketones,
Aldehydes, and Esters. There are more than 10,000 types of sesquiterpenes, more
than 2,000 varieties of monoterpenes, and hundreds of phenols along with
thousands of kinds of ketones, aldehydes, and esters.
Phenols, ketones, and aldehydes are antiseptic, cleanse receptor sites, and
detoxify our bodies.
Sesquiterpenes are oxygenating, mood elevating, and deprogram miswritten or
garbled codes in the DNA.
Monoterpenes are hostile to microbes and reprogram cells with correct
information.
Esters are calming, stress-reducing, and emotionally releasing.
UNIQUE CHEMISTRY OF BIBLICAL OILS:
Sesquiterpenes are mainly in:
Cedarwood-98%, Sandalwood-95%,
Cypress-12%.
Myrrh-65%,
Spikenard-46%, and
Monoterpenes are in:
Frankincense-82%, Cypress-77%, Galbanum-75%, Rose of Sharon-54%,
Myrtle-37%, Spikenard-36%, and Hyssop-30%.
Phenols are in:
Calamus-30%, Cinnamon-25%, and Cassia-8%.
These last three oils are all ingredients of the Holy Anointing Oil of Exodus
30:23-24
UNIQUE CHEMISTRY OF BIBLICAL OILS:
Sesquiterpenes and Monoterpenes can be spiritually elevating by stimulating the
pineal gland and their oxygenating capabilities can create an environment that
makes it difficult for cancer cells to survive. They are also strong supporters of the
immune system and boost the body’s natural defenses.
Phenols, in addition to their antimicrobial and cleansing abilities, also promote
hormonal balance and healthy bodily function. Modern research has found Cinnamon
oil to be as effective against certain bacteria as Penicillin and Ampicillin.
Thus, the oils of the Bible serve us on all levels: Spiritual, Emotional, Mental,
and Physical.
