Basic Facts about Essential Oils
Essential Oils were mankind's first medicine. We know that
priests and physicians have been using essentials oils for
thousands of years. This has been discovered through Egyptian
hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts. Egyptian temples were
dedicated to the production and blending of the oils. Recipes
were recorded on the walls in hieroglyphics.
There are many references to essential oils in the Bible. There
were 188 references. Oils such as Frankincense, rosemary, myrrh,
hyssop and spikenard were used for anointing and healing the
sick.
The three wise men presented the Christ child with essential
oils. The oils were frankincense and myrrh. In the New Testament
of the Bible, Jesus was anointed with spikenard oil. The oils of
spikenard were very precious. Mary took a pound of ointment of
spikenard, very costly and anointed the feet of Jesus. The house
was filled with the odor of the ointment.
What are PURE (Grade A) Essential Oils?
Essential oils are volatile liquids that are distilled from
plants. The parts of the plants that are used are parts such as
seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, fruit, and flowers. The
purity of the oil is determined by its chemical constituents.
These constitutes can be affected by many variables such as the
parts of the plants that were used, soil condition, fertilizer ,
organic or chemical, what region, growth, climate, time of
harvest or distillation process. As you can see, there can be
many variables in the production of the essential oils. Low
pressure and low temperature are also keys to maintaining the
ultimate fragrance and the therapeutic value of the oils.
As we begin to understand the power of essential oils in the
use of personal, holistic health care, we need to comprehend the
necessity for obtaining the purest oils possible. There can be
no substitutions. You always want to purchase essentials from a
reliable source. Any thing less than pure, may not produce the
desired results. In some cases can be extremely toxic. Producing
essential oils that are pure can be very costly as it may
require several hundred pounds to extract one pound of pure
essential oil.
