The Bible contains a few short references to essential oils that can inform us about many of the important characteristics of these precious oils. Enjoy the slides. These slides were used at a free presentation about essential oils at Stepping Stones Books & Gifts in Santa Rosa. www.steppingstonesbookstore.org
There are references to other fragrant plans, trees and recipes for anointing oils in the Bible, such as Ceder wood, Frankincense and Myrrh. The oil, or ointment mentioned in the Bible that this slide show is referring to, is spikenard, or nard, as it is referred to in the text. Today, spikenard is available more easily than it was in Bible times, and it is treasured for its calming and rooty fragrance. It is definitely an special fragrance, and not everyone loves the deep, earthy flavor it gives of. I sure do.
