>>>Welcome to a short, fun look at the use of essential oils during ancient days and some of the similarities that carry on today. Each day as we approach Christmas, we will offer a simple look back into history. And please note, while I love Jesus and believe he was sent as a part of God’s plan for His people whom He loves, I am not a Bible expert.

🌲People of Mesopotamia were using oils, and figuring out how to distill them (crazy cool!), dating way back to 3500 B.C.! And detailed research regarding over 300 botanicals and their uses, was discovered in China dating back to 3000 B.C.

⭐️Across time and cultures, essential oils have been used in special traditions, ceremonies and for health and wellness. The first Biblical reference to healing oils (of over 500 references) is in the book of Genesis, chapter 37, verses 12-22.
This is the story of Joseph, who was thrown in a pit by his older brothers and later sold to traders passing through on their way to Egypt. Trade routes in this area were pretty amazing, bringing spices, oils and herbs from as far away as India.
The traders who took Joseph carried “spicery, balm and myrrh.” Some translations debate whether if it was true myrrh, but instead possibly balm or the oil of the Rose of Sharon. Interestingly, myrrh was often combined with other essential oils to preserve an oil’s smell and strength.
“Myrrh is like a servant to all the other oils,” writes David Stewart Ph.D. in Healing Oils of the Bible. “It is a fixative that increases the longevity of the aroma of any fragrance with which it is combined without dominating or overpowering the fragrance. Myrrh is one of those synergistic oils that enhances the qualities of any oil of which it is mixed.”
❤️That ability reminds me a little of Copaiba, one of the oils that comes in our premium starter kit. Copaiba is known as a magnifier oil, when blended with another essential oil it magnifies the effect of that oils as well, somewhat like being an oil’s true best friend or companion oil, it brings out the best of the oils properties.
