Aromatic plants, herbs and oils have been used for incense, perfume, culinary and medicinal purposes for thousands of years by many cultures. Since ancient times, spices and oils have been an integral part of the Hebraic culture. The Bible mentions over 33 species of fragrant plants with over 1,035 references to essential oils and/or plants in the Old and New Testaments.
People of the Holy Land understood the use of essential oils in maintaining wellness and physical healing, as well as the oils' ability to enhance their spiritual state in worship, prayer and confession, and for cleansing and purification from sin. During biblical times, essential oils were inhaled, applied to the body, and taken internally in which the benefits extended to every aspect of their being.
Essential oils can be emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically healing and transform diseased tissue into thriving, healthy cells. Discover their benefits and how to walk in divine health.

What People Are Saying
"I like this book as it gives information about 12 of the oils used in ancient and present times. It references the Bible both Genesis and Revelations, as well as, some books in between about the specific purposes oils were used.
This is a quick and easy read. You'll be reminded of things you've read before, but now can have understanding of, and learn new things you've not been taught before."
Kindle Customer -AMAZON REVIEW
"My friend and I have been doing research on essential oils and mainly felt Yahweh was wanting us to be involved with the 12 ancient oils of scripture. We had read another book in regard to the essential oils of the bible but didn't think we were supposed to become involved with all the oils. Then I found this book and this is exactly what YAHWEH was talking about. Rebecca is a Messianic believer it seems (as we are) and had the same leading 5 or so years ago and wrote this book. Loved her approach and information!."
Jbluenull - AMAZON REVIEW
"This book is a good reference to have for any person, who: is interested to learn about biblical oils; to understand the proper purpose of the anointing oils and how to apply these oils; and to know the exact name of anointing oils; and to know the original purpose or application of biblical oils, based on the text from the bible verses/scriptures. This book provides a good list and direct definition of the anointing oils, that is helpful to use in rituals."
