History of Perfumery using Essential Oils
For more information about using essential oils please visit http://HealWithEssentialOil.com.
Historical records reveal that people’s use of scents, aromas, fragrances and essential oils have been used in almost every culture for millenniums. The Egyptians used aromatics in embalming, while the Greeks attributed sweet aromas to their gods by burning incense and the Babylonians perfumed the mortar with which they built their temples. In fact, Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt drenched the sails of her ships with the most exotic fragrant essential oils so that their essences would herald her arrival along the banks of the Nile. The Hebrews scattered fresh leaves, twigs, and stems of fresh mint, marjoram and other herbs on the dirt floors of homes and synagogues. By walking on these, the fragrant essential oils would be released into the air. This practice was also common in the temple, where they sacrificed animals where the scent acted as a disinfectant as well as an air freshener.
Both the Assyrian’s and Egyptians used scented oils. Because of this, the demand for the raw materials necessary to produce both fragrances and remedies led to the discov-ery of new ways to extract scents from the plants used. Such techniques as pressing, decoction, pulverization and macera-tion were developed and mastered by both the Assyrian’s and the Egyptians. They even made attempts to produce essential oils by distillation. These methods will be discussed in the next chapter.
Slowly, the use of perfumes spread to Greece, where not only were they used in religious ceremonies, but also for personal purposes as well. When the Romans saw what the Greeks were doing, they began to use fragrances even more lavishly. There are many manuscripts that ascribed to how herbs were brought from all over the world to produce the fragrances they used.
After the Roman Empire fell, so the use of aromas for personal use declined. However, during the Middle Ages, perfumes again were used, this time only in churches in Europe for religious ceremonies and to cover the stench of disease and death which abounded at that time.
When trade with the Orient was reestablished at the beginning of the 13th Century, exotic flowers, herbs and spices became more readily available around Europe. Venice quickly became the center of the perfume trade. It was not long before perfumery soon spread to other European countries. The perfume trade then developed even further, as those returning from the crusades reintroduced perfume for personal use.
By the late 18th Century, the synthetic material for fragrances was being produced, which led to the beginning of perfumery in the modern age. Thus, with the introduction of synthetics, perfumes would no longer be exclusively used by the rich and famous. Now with synthetics readily available to produce perfumes, they could be made on a much larger scale, although natural oils were still being used to help soften the synthetics. Today, natural products still remain a very important part of the production of perfumes in modern formulations.
More and more people today are turning away from the industrial techniques of producing perfume, preferring to make it themselves. Most find it is not only easy to do, but a great source of pleasure and fun.
Rose of Sharon Essential Oil and its Use
by Rebecca Park Totilo
For more information, please visit Rebecca’s website http://HealWithOil.com.
In ancient times, the Cistus Ladanifer, also known as the “rock rose,” was believed to be the Rose of Sharon. As goats and sheep roamed through the brush, this flower became entangled in their coats. While caring for their sheep, the shepherds would collect it from their wool and rub the resin on their cuts and wounds to soothe them.
This multi-petal flower is found in the fertile plain called Sharon between Jaffa and Mount Carmel in Israel. It has a honey scent from an aromatic gum that exudes from the plant.
The Hebrew word sharon means “meadow-saffron, crocus, and rose (place of pasture).” It is a derivative for Sarai, which means “princess.”
Think of how the thornless Rose of Sharon beautifully mirrors Yeshua’s tender love, as spoken of in Song of Solomon 2:1: “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.” The Scriptures tell believers that they are the sheep of His pasture and feed among the lilies.
Therapeutic/Medicinal Uses
Rose of Sharon has been studied for its therapeutic effect on cell regeneration according to Dr. David Stewart, author of “Healing Oils of the Bible.”[1]
Rose of Sharon has been used for bronchitis, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, wounds, and wrinkles. It is also known to be anti-infectious, antiviral, and antibacterial. Rose of Sharon helps to reduce inflammation and acts as a powerful anti-hemorrhaging agent. The Essential Oils Desk Reference reports that it also helps strengthen the immune system.[2]
Rose of Sharon helps to quiet the nerves and elevate the emotions during prayer. Studies revealed that people taking antidepressant drugs found this oil to be mood-elevating by rubbing it on their bodies or just inhaling it.[3]
Holy Incense
In the Torah we find the commandment concerning the Qetoret immediately following the Anointing Oil:
Yahweh said to Moses: Take for yourself spices - stacte, onycha, galbanum, [as well as other specified] spices, and pure frankincense - equal amounts of each. [Grind each spice separately and then] blend [them together as] a Qetoret [incense] compound, the work of a master perfumer, well-blended, free of all impurity, and holy. Pulverize a small portion of [the Qetoret daily] and place it [on the Golden Altar] before the [Ark of] Testimony in the Communion Tent where I commune with you. It shall have the highest degree of holiness for you [Kodesh Kadashim]. With regard to the Qetoret you are to make, do not duplicate its formula for your personal use. It must remain set aside for Yahweh. If a person makes it to enjoy its fragrance, he shall be cut off [spiritually] from his people (Exodus 30:34-38).
The Jewish Encyclopedia describes incense as “an aromatic substance which exhales perfume during combustion; the odor of spices and gums burned as an act of worship.”
Incense was burnt ceremonially on an altar before the mercy seat in the Tabernacle. This particular formula for Holy Incense was made only for the worship of the Lord and required certain rituals in preparation.
According to the Temple Institute, “The method, or recipe, for preparing the special incense offering from was a closely-guarded secret, passed down from generation to generation within the ranks of one particular family known as Avtinas.
In addition to the identity of the spices and the exact amounts and manner in which they are prepared, the clan protected another important secret of their trade: The identity of an herb known in Hebrew as ma’aleh ashan, literally “that which causes smoke to rise.” This herb has a quality which enabled the smoke from the incense to rise up to heaven in a straight column.” It was forbidden to make Holy Incense just for pleasure of the senses.
Yahweh gave strict instructions how it was to be used in Exodus 30:1, 6-9:
“And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon:…And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.”
In Exodus 30:34-38, Yahweh provided a recipe from which the incense was to be prepared:
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight: And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy: And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy. And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD. Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.”
In this passage of Scripture, we find specific instructions on what ingredients are to be used in preparing the Holy Incense, how it is to be compounded, and are warned against using it improperly or treating it common. It should be simple in fact, to duplicate. But in reality, it isn’t. After careful study of the names of each substance, the actual knowledge of what these ingredients are has been lost. Many different opinions, often contradictory ones have been set forth as to the identity of the ingredients in the Holy Incense. We will take a closer look and examine each one carefully.
According to the Torah, the Qetoret (Holy Incense) contained equal proportions of Nataph-Balsam/Stacte, Shechelet-Onycha, Chelbenah-Galbanum and Levonah Zakah-pure Frankincense.
While the Torah only mentions four main spices in the Holy Incense, it is recorded in the Sages of another seven, making a total of eleven spices according to the Oral Tradition. Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan gives a detailed explanation of how the extra seven are alluded to in the “terse language of the written Torah:”
“Since the Torah does not designate what they are, it seems obvious that the first mention of the word “spices” (after “take for yourself”) would denote two different spices, since the minimum number that the plural form “samim” can be is two.
Then we have the balsam, onycha and galbanum, bringing us to a total of five. The Torah then mentions samim again to tell us that in addition to these five there were another additional five. This doubles the amount, making a total of ten. If the second samim only denoted two, the Torah would have said, “Take for yourself spices – balsam, onycha…”
Since the Torah divides them, it means that they were not the same. Therefore, the first time the word samim is mentioned denotes two spices; the second time it denotes five. Therefore, from the two times that the word samim occurs, we learn that there were seven spices besides the four mentioned in the Torah, making a total of eleven (see Kaplan, Torah Anthology, Volume 9, pp. 311-312).”
The Mishnah tells us the Qetoret was made up of eleven spices: “There were seventy measures each of balsam, onycha, galbanum, and frankincense. There were sixteen measures each of myrrh, cassia, spikenard, and saffron. There were twelve measures of costus, three measures of aromatic bark, and nine measures of cinnamon.” In addition, other spices used to prepare the Qetoret included: nine kabin (quart) of Karshina lye which was used to rub the onycha with to make it more pleasant and three se’in and three kabin (quart) of Cyprus wine to soak the onycha in to make it more pungent. There was a fourth of a kab (cup) of Sodom salt, and a small quantity of smoke-producing herb. Jordan Amber, foam from the Jordan River was used to prevent the incense from sticking to the mortar and pestle. Rabbi Nathan of Babylon added, “If one omitted from or added to the original eleven spices, he was liable the death penalty.”
The Torah does include very explicit instructions in the manner in which the Qetoret (Holy Incense) is used; in fact, if misused the punishment is Karet, or spiritual excision.

The Ancient Art of Extracting Essential Oils & Making Perfumes & Today’s Methods
The Ancient Art of Extracting Oils & Making Perfumes
According to Miriam Stead, author of “Egyptian Life,” the process of distillation using steam was not known for the extraction of essences, but there were three techniques available for producing perfumes from flowers, fruits and seeds. She writes, “There was enfleurage, the saturation of layers of fat with perfume by steeping flowers in the fat and replacing them when their perfume was spent. In this way, the Egyptians were able to create creams and pomades.
The Original Coneheads
A popular form of pomade was the so called cosmetic cone which was worn on top of the head. They frequently represented in banqueting scenes, worn not only by the guests but also by the servants. The cone is usually white with streaks of orange brown running from its top. The colouring represents the perfume with which the cone was impregnated. As the evening progressed, the cone would melt and the scented oil run down over the wig and garment, creating a pleasing scent and, no doubt, a sticky mess. Throughout the course of an evening, it became necessary to renew the scent on the cones and the tomb scenes show servants circulating among the guests, replenishing the perfumed cream. A popular late-night comedy television show called, “Saturday Night Live,” use to include an skit of a family with coneheads. I am sure the writers of this routine thought they were being original, although ‘cone shape’ heads was all the rage in ancient Egypt.
The second process for creating perfume was maceration, that is dipping flowers, herbs, or fruits into fats or oils heated to a temperature of about 65 degrees Celsius. This technique is depicted in a number of tomb scenes. The flowers or fruits were pounded in mortars and then stirred into the oil, which was kept hot on a fire. The mixture was sieved and allowed to cool. It might then be shaped into balls or cones, or, if liquid, poured into vessels. An alternative process may have been to macerate the flowers in water, cover the vessel with a cloth impregnated with fat and boil the contents of the vessel until all the perfumes had evaporated, fixing them in the fat which was then scraped off the cloth. This technique is still used by peoples living near the source of the Nile.
Thirdly, there was the possibility of expressing the flowers or seeds. This process was borrowed from the manufacture of wine and oil. The material to be pressed was placed in a bag with a stick attached to each end. The sticks were twisted by a group of workmen. This technique was not used often, as most recipes specify either maceration or enfleurage.”
How Essential Oils Are Produced Today
Producing essential oils continues to take a lot of work. It takes sixty thousand rose blossoms to produce one ounce of rose oil, whereas lavender is easier to obtain and yields approximately 7 pounds of oil from two-hundred and twenty pounds of dried flowers. The Sandalwood tree must be thirty years old and over thirty feet tall before it can be cut down for distillation. Myrrh, frankincense, and benzoin oils are extracted from the gum resins of their respective trees. While citrus fruits such as orange, lemon and lime are squeezed from the peel of their fruits. Cinnamon essential oil come from the bark of the tree, and pine oil comes from the needles and twigs. Other flowers must be picked by hand early in the morning before the sun rises and heats up, evaporating the essential oil within its petals. Hence, you can understand the variation in pricing of various essential oils on the market.
There is a variety of ways in which essential oils are extracted. The most common methods steam distillation, solvent extraction, expression, enfleurage and maceration.
Steam distillation involves using steam to pull essential oils from the plant by suspending the plant material over water in a sealed container, which is then brought to the boil. The steam containing the volatile essential oil is run through a cooler, when it condenses, and the liquid is collected. The essential oil appears as a thin film on top of the liquid, as water and essential oils do not mix. The essential oil is then separated from the water by collecting in a small vial and the water into a large vat.
Solvent extraction involves using little heat, in order to preserve the oil which would otherwise be destroyed or altered during steam distillation. Plant material is dissolved in a liquid solvent of hepane, hexane, or methylene chloride as a suitable perfume solvent, which absorbs the smell, color and wax of the plant. After removing the plant material, the solvent is boiled off under a vacuum to helping to separate the essential oil. This can be achieved since the solvent evaporates quicker, which leaves a substance called, ‘concrete.’ The concrete is mixed with alcohol to aid in filtering the waxes. The next process is to distil the alcohol away, which leaves an ‘absolute.’ The word ‘absolute’ will appear on the label of some bottled essential oils, although they still contain 2-3 per cent of the solvent, thus not considered pure essential oil.
Citrus oils is expressed rather than distilled. Within citrus fruits such as orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit, the essential oil is located in little sacs just under the surface of the rind. The oils need to be squeezed out or expressed from the peels and seeds, and this is achieved by letting the fruit roll over a conveyer that has small needles coming out, piercing the little oil pockets in the citrus rind. The oil runs out and is caught and filtered.
As mentioned before, enfleurage is an ancient method of extracting oils that is rarely used today because its long, complicated, and expensive process. Fragrant blooms were placed upon sheets of warm animal fat (or long sheets of vegetable fat), which absorbed the essential oil. As flowers are exhausted, they are replaced with fresh blossoms. This process is repeated until the sheet of fat is saturated with fragrance and is separated with solvents, leaving only the essential oil.
Macerated oils are not pure essential oils as they are ‘carrier’ oils. Plant material is gathered and chopped, then added to either sunflower or olive oil. The mixture is stirred for a while, then placed in the sunlight for several days. This process transfers all of the soluble components in the plant material, including the essential oil, then is carefully filtered. This process leaves a carrier oil infused with essential oil.

Spiritual Significance of the Holy Incense (Qetoret)
In an article entitled, “The Spiritual Significance of the Qetoret (Incense) in Ancient Jewish Tradition,” author Rabbi Avraham Sutton describes the momentous archeological discovery of the Holy Incense:
“In March 1988, Vendyl Jones and his team of Bnei Noah volunteers found a clay juglet about five inches in height in a cave in Qumran, just west of the northern end of the Yam HaMelach (Dead Sea). The juglet contained a reddish oil. It is believed to be the only surviving sample of the balsam oil that was prescribed in the Torah for anointing the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and its vessels, as well as the Cohanim-Priests and Kings of Israel. The oil, when found, had a honey-like consistency. The juglet in which it was found was wrapped in palm leaves and carefully concealed in a 3-foot deep pit which preserved it from looting and the extreme climatological extremes of the area.
In April 1992, Vendyl and his team discovered 600 kilos of “reddish-brown organic substance” in a carefully sealed rock silo in another part of the Qumran cave complex. Subsequent palynological analysis determined that this reddish-brown substance contains traces of at least eight of the eleven spices that were used in the manufacture of the Pitum HaQetoret (Incense Mixture) and burned in the Temple.
In 1994, the incense spices were presented to Rabbi Yehudah Getz of blessed memory, late Chief Rabbi of the Western Wall and Holy Places in Israel. A sample was also given to Rabbi Ovadiah Yoseph. Rabbi Ovadiah had his own chemist analyze the mixture to confirm its organic nature. Then both rabbis requested that Vendyl Jones “burn” some of the incense for scientific purposes (not with fire but with hydrochloric acid). At their suggestion, he had the spices combined together with the Sodom Salt and Karshina Lye which were also found stored separately in the cave in Qumran.
The results were astonishing. Although the spices had lost some of their potency over the two millennia since their burial, it was still powerful. The residue of its fragrance lingered in the vicinity for several days following the experiment. Several people present reported that their hair and clothing retained the aroma. More amazing, the area in which the spices were burned changed. It had been infested with a variety of flies, ants, moths and other insects. After the Qetoret was burned, no sign of these pests was seen for quite a while. This is reminiscent of the Mishnah in Avot (5:5) which states that there were no flies in the area of the Temple, nor was a snake or scorpion ever able to harm anyone anywhere in Jerusalem as long as the Temple stood.
Rabbi Avraham Sutton stated he work with Vendyl Jones in 1995 and met Avraham Sand of Tiferet International Aromatherapy, a master perfumer who was able to authenticate and obtain nine of the original eleven incense spices and reproduce them in the form of essential oils. In essence, Sand was able to parallel Vendyl’s discoveries of both the Anointing Oil and Qetoret in Qumran. His work was supervised under the rabbinical guidance of Rabbi Menachem Burstein, the foremost Jewish authority on the botany and chemistry of Temple artifacts. This was done in order to sidestep the strict prohibition against experimentation with the various plant materials in their original form. Rabbi Burstein advised him that there is no prohibition whatsoever against enjoying the essential oil extracts of these same botanicals.
“By getting back in touch with the mystery of the Qetoret, and unearthing its ancient secrets,” Rabbi Avraham suggests, “we can awaken something else in ourselves that is sorely needed at this time.”

Anointing Oil For The Sick
For more information please visit my website http://HealWithOil.com. To purchase pure therapeutic grade essential oils, please visit http://HealWithEssentialOil.com.
In the case of illness or emotional trauma, anointing can bring healing, forgiveness, and peace with a profound sense of Yahweh’s presence in your life. Believers in the B’rit Hadashah (New Covenant or New Testament) were instructed to anoint the sick with oil. James 5:14-16 directs us, “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
As believers we are to seek out “seasoned believers” or elders in your congregation or local assembly who will stand in agreement with you regarding your healing and anoint with oil in the name of the Yahweh. With this act, you are submitting yourself humbly to the Heavenly Father, with confession of any sin that could hinder your deliverance.
Author Dean M. Miller writes in his biblical teaching for the Church of the Brethren that anointing may be of real help to you for a variety of scenarios besides physical illness. Possible uses include:
Physical illness. You may have received a disturbing diagnosis from your physician, or you have been battling a chronic or life-threatening illness.
Accident or sudden trauma. You may be coping with the consequences of severe injuries or a loss of body function in a permanent handicap.
Impending surgery. You may be facing the fear and anxiety of an operation with an uncertain prognosis.
Critical decisions. You may be faced with choices affecting your job, your marriage, or your future that seem overwhelming.
Risk and vulnerability. You may be undertaking a new assignment in strange territory, involving considerable risk to you and those whom you love.
Reconciliation. You have just experienced a breakthrough in restoring a relationship that when broken, caused you much anguish and suffering.
Emotional pain. You recall memories that arouse fear and guilt upon the loss of someone especially close to you.
Spiritual renewal. You have experienced the closeness of God in a new way and found joy in renewing relationships with Christian brothers and sisters from whom you were estranged.
The Savor of Sandalwood Essential Oil
Sandalwood is known by its botanical name as Santalum Album and was a highly treasured oil by ancient cultures. It dates back 4000 thousand years to the Egyptians who built buildings and embalmed with it. Solomon used it in 1Kings 10:12 in the construction of the temple and the King’s house. It was popular up until the 30′s because of its antimicrobial properties and fell out of use as modern medicine took over. The oil has found renewed popularity as many have become educated in the use of aromatherapy.
Santalum Album is an endangered species, making it extremely expensive. It is native to the southern part of India and owned by the government. The harvesting is strictly controlled and the best Sandalwood comes from the Mysore Region. Because of over-harvesting, it now is only used to make essential oil.
Sandalwood trees take thirty to sixty years to mature to the point where essential oil can be made. The tree itself is an evergreen tree which grows up to thirty feet high. It is a parasitic tree, which means it will actually burrow its roots into another tree. It has a brown-gray trunk, many smooth slender branches, leathery leaves and small pink-purple flowers.
The wood is yellow, heavy and fine grained. The uniqueness of this wood versus others, is that it maintains its fragrance for decades. It is harvested and steam distilled to make the precious essential oil which is used by many aromatherapists. The oil is a colorless to pale yellow liquid. The aroma is a rich, balsamic sweet fragrance giving it the reputation as luxurious and exquisite.
For those who make perfume, its consistency is medium and has a striking base note. Sandalwood used in small measures in perfumes is a fixative and allows other fragrances to be enhanced. It is also used in body care products for the fragrance it provides.
Some of the symptoms Sandalwood essential oil is good for are: bronchitis, chapped and dry skin, depression, laryngitis, leucorrhea, oily skin, scars, sensitive skin, stress, and stretch marks. Since it is calming, it can aid while in prayer. It also is good for Urinary Tract Infections, acne, pulmonary infections and menstrual problems.
According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference:
Sandalwood is high in sesquiterpenes that have been researched in Europe for their ability to to stimulate the pineal gland and the limbic region of the brain, the center of emotions. the pineal gland is responsible for releasing melatonin, a powerful antioxidant that enhances deep sleep. Sandalwood is similar to frankincense essential oil in its support of nerves and circulation. It is always advisable if pregnant or under a doctor’s care to consult your physician before using.
This rare treasure is only available for a limited time, so don’t miss out, get yours today.
