Essential oils are rapidly becoming popular today, but they’ve actually been used for thousands of years. In fact, if you read the Bible, you'll find over 300 references to essential oils.

Essential oils were used to inaugurate kings and queens 

When you read in the Bible "anoint your head with oil," it was actually referring to essential oils. Historically, this was a very specific essential oil blend of cinnamon oil, cassia, calamus, myrrh essential oil along with olive oil.  

Frankincense and myrrh essential oils were brought as gifts to the infant Jesus

In fact, frankincense and myrrh were worth as much as gold was during those days. And the reason is they were the most effective forms of plant-based medicine.

Frankincense, for instance, was used during that time to reduce bruising. It's also great with the nerve system, so they would have rubbed it on a child after birth to support their growth and development and to protect their immune system. Myrrh essential oil is a natural antiseptic. So, they would have rubbed it around the umbilical cord to keep that area from getting infected after birth.

Essential oils were also used in Chinese and Egyptian medicine 

In fact, they found several hundred liters of partly empty alabaster jars of essential oils in King Tut's tomb. It's actually been documented that Cleopatra opened the first beauty spa and she used essential oils in her treatments.

Hipprocrates, the father of modern medicine, famous for saying, "Let food be thy medicine," prescribed essential oils for healing over 2,000 years ago. So, why were essential oils used so widely throughout the Bible and throughout Egyptian and Chinese medicine?

Well, one reason essential oils were used so much throughout history is because they are easy to extract from plants... and your body naturally knows how to work with plants and oil-based compounds.
