History of Essential oils

 We know from Egyptian hieroglyphics and ancient Chinese manuscripts, that essential oils have been used for thousands of years. Records indicate that this was mankind's first medicine—a gift from God. Essential oils were used by Christ and biblical prophets, like Abraham and Moses, as well as kings, priests, emperors, and pharaohs from different cultures and times, to promote youthfulness, beauty and protection from disease and plagues of their day. There are 188 references to essential oils in the Bible, used for anointing and healing the sick.

 What are Essential oils?

 Essential oils are like the blood, or the life force of the plant. They protect the plant from bacterial and viral infections, insect invasion, cleansing breaks in its tissues, and delivers oxygen and nutrients to its cells. Essential oils are one characteristic that makes the plant unique and are 20-40 times more potent than herbs. God has created essential oils not only for the plant’s benefits, but for mankind’s as well.

 Clinical research shows that essential oils can even create an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., cannot live. Science is only now rediscovering these healing substances that were used in ancient times.

 The consistency of essential oils isn’t really oily, but more like water, though their viscosities varies. They are volatile liquids, meaning these droplets can easily turn from a liquid to a gas. We can’t smell liquids or solids, only gases.

 Essential oils increase cellular oxygen and immune function. A single oil may contain hundreds of constituents that are aligned in exactly the right manner to trigger specific responses in the human body. 

 People like pleasant aromas so I want to warn you to be very careful what kind of scents you are allowing into your home. When you use scented products you are often allowing toxic chemicals into your home. Even scented cleaning products can be toxic.

The fragrance industry has learned how to create the exact scent each time it produces a specific aroma. Often this is done through fractionating another oil, or artificially re-creating a specific substance by using a petrochemical and adding it to that substance.

 But, a therapeutic (meaning it has healing properties) essential oil resonates with the body and does no harm. Science continues to validate the powerful use of essential oils.
