Natures' Original Alternative Medicine - Essential Oils And The Test Of Time!
In the Bible, there are more than 188 references to precious oils (essential oils as we call them today). A few of the more commonly known essential oils are: frankincense, myrrh, cassia, rosemary, and cinnamon. These were used not only for anointing, but also for healing of the sick.
Essential oils are widely considered mankinds' first medicine. Around for centuries, these natural healing oils, have been used to treat various illnesses and physical needs. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts can trace the uses of healing oils as far back as 4500 BC. Three essential oils common today (frankincense, cedarwood, and myrrh) were not only used in temple and pyramid religious ceremonies and rituals, but even in the embalming process.
Let's take frankincense for instance. This essential oil was lavishly used in religious rites. Wikipedia states - In the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament, it was an ingredient for incense (Ex 30:34); according to the book of Matthew 2:11, gold, frankincense, and myrrh were among the gifts to Jesus by the Biblical Magi "from out of the East."
Essential Oils and Traditional Medicine
Many scientific uses of frankincense as ayurvedic (a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian Subcontinent and practiced in other parts of the world) and alternative medicine are being investigated. A few of the studies are as a treatment for chronic inflammatory diseases such as Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis, and osteoarthritis. An aroma therapeutic study (reported in May 2008 FASEB Journal) determined frankincense smoke is a psychoactive drug that relieves depression and anxiety in mice.
Another study published in March of 2009 by the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center reported "Frankincense oil appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability." Frankincense oil derived from Boswellia carteri induces tumor cell specific cytotoxicity.". www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19296830?dopt=Citation.
Research has also shown, the essential oil of frankincense may be able to bring relief to people suffering from osteoarthritis. One study, using an enriched frankincense essential oil extract, helped patients in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study show marked improvement in their arthritis in as little as seven days.
Pure Frankincense is edible. Chewy in its resin form and -and I'd say purer as well- as an essential oil, it is often used for digestion and healthy skin in various Asian traditional medicines. Ayurvedic medicine has used Indian frankincense for hundreds of years for the treatment of arthritis.
Another use, for the essential oil of frankincense, is as an aromatherapy oil. It has a nice balsamic and sweet fragrance, and very fresh smell. Frankincense essential oil is found in many perfumes. Although, fresh smelling to people, burning frankincense acts as a mosquito repellent. In fact, many of the essential oil and aromatherapy blends for mosquito repellents on the market today (it's easy to make your own as well) have frankincense as one of the ingredients.
As you can see, we have been blessed with a whole world of wonderful and natural healing oils we can use for all kinds of uses. And one my favorite ways to take advantage of the power in essential oils, is to let their aroma therapeutic scents drift in, to lift spirits, balance moods, and dispel negative emotions.
Many blessing to you,
