Plants and their essential oils have been used for healing since
ancient times. Oils were used to anoint newborns and kings, care
for the body, and treat the sick. In the Bible at least 33
different essential oils are specifically mentioned, and aromatic
herbs, resins, and incense are referred to more than 1,000 times.
Distilling the most significant of this healing wisdom, Karin
Opitz-Kreher and Johannes Huber examine the ancient uses of
essential oils, both in ritual and for health, and present an
in-depth look at the 12 most important oils mentioned in the Bible,
including how to use them for healing and well-being today. The
essential oils featured in this full-colour guide are: cassia,
galbanum, myrrh, myrtle, spikenard, onycha, sandalwood,
frankincense, hyssop, cedar, cistus, and cypress. Each oil is
explored in depth, beginning with the Bible verses that refer to
it, followed by historical information about the oil, its botanical
and chemical composition, its uses in folk medicine, and its modern
uses for healing and well-being, including simple recipes and daily
exercises. The book also discusses two alternative oils that can be
used in place of rare or endangered essential oils. After looking
at each essential oil individually, the authors describe how to
create a blend of all 12 biblical oils, which promotes a high level
of both physical and mental energy. The authors also examine other
ancient references to essential oils, from Egyptian papyri to
Ayurvedic tradition, showing how the sophisticated art of
extracting plant essences has evolved over thousands of years.
