ORAC Scores for Essential Oils
ORAC Score
The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) assay is a laboratory procedure developed in 1992 at the National Institute of Aging in Silver Springs, Maryland. It is used to measure the antioxidant capacities of many foods, juices, and oils. The higher the ORAC score, the more capable that particular food or oil is of destroying free radicals (Free radicals can cause disease and aging by changing the structure of the body’s cell walls, DNA, and protein, disrupting their important functions), thus retarding the aging process and preventing cancers and other diseases.
Foods with a high ORAC score may be able to protect cells and their components from oxidative damage. Oxygen radicals are chemicals that form naturally inside the body through the process of oxidation. Everyday functions such as digestion and physical activity produce oxygen radicals. Daily exposure to polluted air, rancid food and oxidizing radiation from the sun and electrical appliances also contribute.
An easy to understand example of oxidation is to imagine rust attacking metal. When the rust eats away at the metal, the metal starts to weaken and decay until it can no longer work. This is what happens to our body when free radicals attack it. Organs, cells and other parts of the body can be weakened by oxidation. This leads to diseases such as cancer, skin and heart diseases, senile dementia and osteoarthritis.
Studies have shown that eating foods with a high ORAC score will raise the antioxidant levels in the blood by around 10 to 25%. The ORAC figure suggested by experts is around 5,000 units per day to have a significant effect on plasma and tissue antioxidant levels. Eating eight to ten servings of brightly colored fruits and vegetables or dark greens will help achieve this level.
Here are some examples of ORAC scores:
| Fruits and Vegtables | Essential Oils |
| Carrots 210 | Sandalwood (Aloes) 160 |
| Oranges 750 | Frankincense 630 |
| Beets 840 | Rose of Sharon (cistus) 3,860 |
| Raspberries 1,220 | Cinnamon 10,340 |
| Strawberries 1,540 | Spikenard 54,800 |
| Blueberries 2,400 | Myrhh 379,800 |
| Wolfberries 25,300 | Clove 1,078,700 |
Most essential oils score higher than most fruits and vegetables, as the two tables above suggest. In fact, essential oils have the highest ORAC scores of all substances in the world. An ounce of Clove Oil has the antioxidant capacity of 320 pounds of carrots, 28 quarts of blueberries, or 10 gallons of beet juice. The exceptionally high ORAC scores of essential oils partially explains why living with them in your daily environment – to breathe, eat, and apply to your body – can support all of your systems and contribute effectively towards long healthful living, even when used in very small quantities, and even when only inhaling them.

The Fragrant Makeup
Any perfume you buy or make yourself is a chemical compound made from fragrant oils, aroma blends, fixatives and solvents which produces a pleasant or attractive smell. Women primarily use perfume in order to smell nice for work, a special event, or even to attract a mate.
The composition of any perfume starts with base perfume oils, which are natural, animal or synthetic, and are then diluted with a solvent to make them light and applicable. Perfume oils in the purest form can cause damage to skin or an allergic reaction, so the adding of solvent is necessary to make them less potent. The most prevalent solvent used in the manufacturing of perfumes is Ethanol.
Plants are the oldest source for obtaining fragrant oil compounds from flowers and blossoms parts. Other plant parts, such as leaves, twigs, roots, rhizomes, bulbs, seeds, fruit, wood, bark and lichens are also considered for use in perfume making.
Perfumes made using animal sources are normally made from Musk, which is obtained from either the Asian Musk Deer or Civets (known as Civet Musk), as well as Ambergis (a fatty compound). Some perfume makers may also use either Castoreum or Honeycomb in the production of their perfumes.
Synthetic source perfumes are produced through or-ganic synthesis of multiple chemical compounds, in which such things as Calone, Linalool, Coumarin and Terpenes are used to make synthetic fragrant oils. By using synthetic products in perfume making, you can produce scents which may not even exist in nature. In fact, this has become a very valuable element in the making of perfumes nowadays.
A perfume composition will either be used to aug-ment other products, or patented and sold as a perfume after it has been allowed to age for one year.
Unfortunately, fragrance compounds will, after time, begin to deteriorate and lose strength if stored incorrectly. It is therefore important when making your own perfume that you store them in tightly sealed containers and keep them out of light and away from heat, as well as away from oxygen and other organic substances. For best results, store con-tainers in a fridge at a temperature of between 33 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Today more than ever, perfume is popular around the world, because of its use and its application continues to grow.

Ancient Uses for Perfumes and Essential Oils
For more information about the biblical essential oils please visit http://HealWithOil.com.
In ancient times, essential oils and other aromatics were used for religious rituals, as well as for the treatment of illness and other physical and spiritual needs. According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference compiled by Essence Science Publishing, “Records dating back to 4500 B.C. describes the use of balsamic substances with aromatic properties for religious rituals and medical applications. The translation of ancient papyrus found in the Temple of Edfu, located on the west bank of the Nile reveals medicinal formulas and perfume recipes used by the alchemist and high priest in blending aromatic substances for rituals performed in the temples and pyramids. As well, Hieroglyphics on the walls of Egyptian temples depict the blending of oils and describe hundreds of oil recipes. Within these writings tell of scented barks, resins of spices, and aromatic vinegars, wines and beers that were used in rituals, temples, for embalming and medicine. Thus, the Egyptians were credited as the first to discover the potential of fragrance and were considered masters in using essential oils and other aromatics in the embalming process. They created various aromatic blends for personal use, placing them in alabaster jars – a vessel specially carved and shaped for holding fragrant oils. In fact, when King Tut’s tomb was opened in 1922, 350 liters of oils were discovered in alabaster jars. Amazingly, because of the solidification of plant waxes sealing the opening of the jars, the liquefied oil was in perfect condition.
In the upper region of Egypt, a sect of Jews, called Essenes, were known for their healing arts and use of essential oils. Both Philo and Josephus writings indicated that at the period in which John the Baptist and Jesus were born, the Essenes were scattered over Palestine, numbering about four thousand souls. The Essenes or Therapeuts (used interchangeably) refer primarily to the art of healing which these devotees professed, as it was believed in those days that sanctity was closely allied to the exercise of this power, and that no cure of any sort could be imputed simply to natural causes. (Source: http://sacred-texts.com, http://bopsecrets.org)
The Holy Scriptures record over 1,035 references to aromatics, ointments, savors, fragrances, plants and incense-most implying essential oils. Twelve of the most highly-praised fragrances in the world mentioned in the Bible include: Frankincense, Myrrh, Spikenard, Hyssop, Cypress, Myrtle, Aloes, Sandalwood, Galbanum, Cinnamon, Cassia, and Onycha. Many were in the prescribed preparation of the Holy Anointing Oil and Holy Incense for Temple services, as well as for anointing and healing the sick. The people of the ancient world understood the importance of maintaining wellness and physical health, as well as the oils’ ability to enhance their spiritual state of worship, prayer, and for the purification from sin. King David alluded to this in Psalm 51:7 when he wrote, “Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” While David’s Psalm may have been speaking of a “spiritual purification” from his own sin of adultery with Bathsheba, today we know that the chemical constituents of essential oils including hyssop are able to penetrate the cell wall and transport needed oxygen and nutrients to the cell nucleus. Most essential oils can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled into the lungs where they then make their way into the bloodstream. The sense of smell affects the limbic region of the brain, which controls emotions, memory and the hypothalamus, which regulates the pituitary, which in turn balances the entire hormonal system of the body.
Ancient Art of Extracting Oils – How Essential Oils are Produced Today
For more information about healing biblical essential oils, please visit http://HealWithOil.com.
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 effleurage 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. Those frequently represented in banqueting scenes worn not only by the guests but also by the servants. The cone was usually white with streaks of orange brown running from its top. The coloring represented 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 comes from the bark of the tree (and leaf) 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, effleurage 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, and when it condenses 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 help 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 distill 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, therefore are 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. This is achieved by letting the fruit roll over a conveyor that has small needles coming outpiercing the little oil pockets in the citrus rind. The oil runs out and is caught and filtered.
As mentioned before effleurage is an ancient method of extracting oils that is rarely used today because of 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.
How Essential Oils Work
by Rebecca Park Totilo
Clinical research has discovered that essentials oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance. Electrical properties and charges of essential oils carry electrons or negative ions, which are healing and healthful.[1]
A healthy human body ranges from 62 to 68 MHz. The air breathed, food eaten, and other factors cause frequency levels to drop. Examples of the Taino Technology study reveal:
At 58 MHz cold and flu symptoms may appear.
At 55 MHz diseases like Candida and arthritis may take hold.
At 42 MHz cancer may set in.
At 25 MHz death begins.[2]
The essence or life-blood of the plant carries a live frequency—ranging from 52 MHz to 320 MHz.
Using therapeutic grade essential oils on a daily basis keeps body frequencies at a healthy level, prevents disease, and even reverses damage.
Research has shown that the number one cause for depression is the loss of oxygen around the pineal and pituitary glands. They have also discovered that with careful application of these oils to the soles of the feet, it enables the oil to reach every cell in the body within 20 minutes.[3] This may be why people in biblical times lived so long.
Principal essential oils contain various constituents, including these three compounds: phenylpropanoids, sesquiterpenes, and monoterpenes.[4] These three constituents are unique to essential oils and are produced naturally by the plant with the intelligence and capacity to do the following:
Phenylpropanoids – cleanse the receptor sites.
Sesquiterpenes – erase the incorrect information in the DNA or cellular memory.
Monoterpenes – reprogram the cellular intelligence back to God’s original plan with correct information.
Sesquiterpenes carry oxygen to the brain and stimulate the pineal and pituitary glands. Three of the four oils in the world with the highest known concentration of sesquiterpenes are biblical oils: Cedarwood, Sandalwood, and Spikenard.

What is Galbanum in the Holy Incense (Temple Incense)?
For more information about the biblical fragrances, please visit my website http://RATW.org or http://HealWithOil.com.
Resembling a giant fennel plant, Galbanum (Ferula galbaniflua, member of the carrot family) was used in the ancient world as incense. Native to the Middle East and grown in the Mesopotamian area and West Asia, Galbanum had to be imported in biblical times. Today it is cultivated in Iran, Turkey, Lebanon and Afghanistan.
Galbanum, also called “Mother resin,” is discharged from the roots and lower trunk of this small wild plant. It is harvested by slitting its stem a few inches above the ground, allowing the milky substance to flow out and harden. Its balsamic tears are round, yellow to brownish-yellow, translucent, and not larger than a pea. It has been valued for its complex green, woody, balsam-like fragrance. At one time it was used in pharmaceuticals, but now it is mostly used as a food flavoring and as a perfume fixative. The Egyptians imported Galbanum resin in vast amounts, as it was a most treasured incense ingredient. In addition, Egypt used it for embalming and cosmetics.
The Jewish Talmud suggests that Galbanum, a bitter, earthy gum resin from an Asiatic plant was included in the Holy Incense because “Every communal fast that does not include the sinners of Israel is not a fast.” This was because the Temple incense included spices with beautiful fragrances, but was considered incomplete without a less-than-fragrant aromatic such as Galbanum. Described by some modern Bible commentators as having a pleasant smell, Philo praises Galbanum, comparing it to air and calling it sweet smelling and says its smoke drives away serpents.
This sharp, biting pungent resin could be equated with some of the unpleasant things we need to pray about. We are required to examine ourselves carefully as we meditate on the Holy Scriptures,
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua Ha Mashiach is in you, except ye be reprobates?” (II Corinthians 13:5)
A genuine self-examination can be a very unpleasant experience. The Jewish Talmud say, Chelbenah alludes to complete sinners. Like a Tziporen-fingernail, they are smooth and unblemished on the inside, and only darkened on the outside.
In Hebrew, Galbanum is Chelbenah. The Hebraic root is Cheleb, which means “the fat or the richest part” and Chalab, which means “milk.” Of the animal sacrifices in Scripture, the fat was reserved for God and burned as a soothing aroma to Him (Genesis 4:4, Leviticus 3:14-16).
In the Greek, Galbanum is simply a borrowing of the Hebrew word, so there is no chance of error in translation from Hebrew to Greek. It is mentioned in the Egyptian papyri and only once in the Old Testament as an ingredient of the sacred incense and once in the Apocrypha (Sirach 24:15).

Essential Oil Safety Guidelines
For more safety guidelines on how to use essential oils, please visit our website at http://HealWithOil.com and purchase a copy of our bestselling book, HEAL WITH OIL.
Essential oils are distilled from plant leaves, flowers, roots, seeds, bark and resins, or are expressed from the rinds of citrus fruits. It generally takes at least 50 pounds of plant material to make one pound of essential oil (for example, a pound of rosemary oil requires sixty-six pounds of herb), but the ratio is sometimes astonishing – it takes 2,300 pounds of rose flowers to make a single pound of oil!
Because they contain no fatty acids, essential oils are not susceptible to rancidity like vegetable oils – but protect them from the degenerative effects of heat, light and air, store them in tightly sealed, dark glass bottles away from any heat source. Properly stored oils can maintain their quality for years. (Citrus oils are less stable and should not be stored longer than six months after opening.)
ESSENTIAL OIL TIPS
1. Always read and follow all label warnings and cautions.
2. Keep oils tightly closed and out of the reach of children.
3. Never consume undiluted oils. Cook only with those oils approved for food use.
4. Don’t use undiluted oils on your skin. (Dilute with carrier oil).
5. Skin test oils before using. Dilute a small amount and apply to the skin on your inner arm. Do not use if redness or irritation occurs.
6. Keep oils away from eyes and mucous membranes.
7. If redness, burning, itching, or irritation occurs, stop using oil immediately.
8. Avoid use of these oils during pregnancy: bitter almond; basil; clary sage; clove bud; hyssop; sweet fennel; juniper berry; marjoram; myrrh; peppermint; rose; rosemary; sage; thyme; and wintergreen.
9. These oils can be especially irritating to the skin: allspice; bitter almond; basil; cinnamon leaf; cinnamon bark; clove bud; sweet fennel; fir needle; lemon; lemongrass; Melissa; peppermint; tea tree; wintergreen. In addition, angelica and all citrus oils make the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet light. Do not go out into the sun with these oils on your skin.
10. Sweet Fennel, hyssop, sage and rosemary should not be used by anyone with epilepsy. People with high blood pressure should avoid hyssop, rosemary, sage and thyme.
11. For someone who tends to be highly allergic, here is a simple test to use to help determine if he/she is sensitive to particular oil. First, rub a drop of carrier oil onto the upper chest. In 12 hours, check for redness or other skin irritation. If the skin remains clear, place 1 drop of selected essential oil in 15 drops of the same carrier oil, and again rub into the upper chest. If no skin reaction appears after 12 hours, it’s probably safe to use the carriers and the essential oil.
12. After applying citrus oils to the skin, avoid exposure to sunlight, since the oils may burn the skin.
13. When spilled on furniture, many essential oils will remove the finish. It’s best to be careful when handling the bottles.
14. Don’t buy perfume oils thinking they are the same thing as essential oils. Perfume oils do not offer the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. Even if you only intend on using aromatherapy in your lifestyle for the sheer enjoyment of the aroma, essential oils that are breathed in can offer therapeutic benefits. These benefits do not occur with the use of perfume oils.
15. Don’t buy essential oils with rubber glass dropper tops. Essential oils are very concentrated and will turn the rubber to a gum thus ruining the oil.
16. It is also helpful to note the country of origin for the oil. Most good essential oil sellers will readily supply the botanical names and country of origin for the oils that they sell. When comparing one company’s oils with another’s, also pay attention to if either company’s oils are organic, wild-crafted or ethically farmed.
17. It is wise not to purchase oils from vendors at street fairs, craft shows, or other limited-time events. Some vendors know beginners have no recourse against them later. This is not to say that there are not highly reputable sellers at such events, but this is a caution for beginners who are not able to reliably judge quality.
18. Be selective of where you purchase your essential oils. The quality of essential oils varies widely from company to company. Additionally, some companies may falsely claim that their oils are undiluted or pure when they aren’t. We recommend you purchase your essential oils from http://HealWithOil.com.
19. If essential oil is ingested, rinse mouth out with milk, and then drink a large glass of milk. Seek medical advice immediately. If essential oil gets into eyes, flush with large quantity of water immediately. Seek medical advice immediately. If essential oils are splashed onto skin and irritation results, apply carrier oil to the area to dilute.

Frankincense Essential Oil Properties & Uses
For more information about the biblical essential oils, please visit our website http://HealWithOil.com. If you are interested in purchasing 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils, please visit our e-store http://HealWithEssentialOil.com.
Medicinal Properties: Expectorant, Antimicrobial, Immunity-stimulant, and Antidepressant
Traditional Uses: Frankincense is considered the holy anointing oil of the Middle East and has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. It has been used to treat every conceivable illness known to man, which caused it to be more valued more than gold in ancient times. Researchers today have discovered that Frankincense contains sesquiterpenes, which help to stimulate the limbic region of the brain (the center of emotions), as well as the hypothalamus, pineal and the pituitary glands. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, controlling the release of many hormones including the thyroid and growth hormone. Frankincense is being used therapeutically in European hospitals and is being studied for its ability to improve the human growth hormone production.
Other Uses: Frankincense may help with allergies, asthma, depression, ulcers, snake and insect bites, bronchitis, cancer, respiratory infections, diphtheria, headaches, hemorrhaging, herpes, high blood pressure, inflammation, stress, tonsillitis, typhoid, and warts. Because it contains sesquiterpenes, it has the ability to go beyond the blood-brain barrier and helps to elevate the mind in overcoming stress and despair, as well as support the immunity system. It also increases the activity of leukocytes in defense of the body against infection.
Application: Diffuse or apply topically.
Note: Frankincense contains monoterpenes which can reprogram cellular memory and promote permanent healing.
Aromatherapy: Essential Oils For Romance In Your Marriage
by Penny Barker
Aromatherapy consists of using different aromas to affect a person’s mood or behaviour. In the practice of aromatherapy, each essential oil is believed to possess unique specific properties that positively affect different areas of a person’s life. Some are used to soothe physical ailments, while others can increase concentration, stamina or energy, and possibly jumpstart your libido. The use of aromatherapy essential oils in sexual practices and rituals has been around for centuries and spans many cultures. It is said that the famous seductress Cleopatra indulged in the practice of aromatherapy, using the intoxicating scents of cinnamon, cardamom and rose to bewitch and entice Marc Antony.
How to Use Aromatherapy Essential Oils
There are many ways to incorporate the benefits of aromatherapy into everyday life, and various methods of using essential oils. They can be applied to the skin, but must first be diluted with a carrier oil as they are too powerful in their undiluted form. You may prefer to inhale the oil scent by placing a few drops on a clean cloth or tissue and putting it near your nose, or you can use steam inhalation. It is also possible to put a few drops of oil diluted with a carrier oil in your bathwater. Just add your preferred scent to one ounce of carrier oil and mix well into the warm water. Aromatherapy essential oils can be added to lotions, massage oils, and shower products to help revitalize your mind and body, all the while providing you with a very sensual experience.
Carrier oils
Aromatherapy essential oils must be “carried” onto the skin by carrier oils as they are too concentrated to be applied directly on the skin. Carrier oils are also known as base oils or vegetable oils. Some popular carrier oils include sweet almond, grapeseed, jojoba, sunflower, avocado, and olive oil.
Scents to Raise the Libido
The use of aromatherapy essential oils can enhance almost any mood. A person’s sense of smell is tied to the area of emotion and memory in the brain; consequently, a particular pleasing scent can recreate wonderful feelings associated with a pleasurable past experience. Spicy scents can definitely make an individual feel energized, while light floral scents can put you in a sensual and relaxed mood. The aromatherapy essential oils can be placed in a diffuser to create a seductive atmosphere in the room, used to perform a sensuous massage or blended in a warm bubble bath for two! There are hundreds of scents used in the practice of aromatherapy. Here are a few essential oils known to produce positive results in the area of love and sexual relations:
Rose – A deeply floral scent that is relaxing and known to promote compassion, love and sensuality.
Vanilla – A subtly sweet aroma that induces feelings of security, compassion and love.
Jasmine – A comforting scent that is warm and floral. Indian women use it in their hair to entice their husbands into love-making.
Ginger – A woody aroma that provides feelings of warmth when used in a massage, and is known to increase endurance. Many brides of South Asia use this oil in creams on their wedding day.
Clove – A spicy, rich and penetrating scent with warming properties which is intoxicating to the senses.
Ylang Ylang – A very powerful scent, originally from China, which can be very enticing when mixed with other oils such as clary sage or geranium. Its floral and exotic odor can enhance stimulation.
Bergamot - A sweet and spicy aroma that produces intense refreshing effects.
Cedarwood – An intensely woody aroma that has soothing and strengthening properties that promotes inner strength and confidence.

(ORAC) The Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity of Essential Oils Compared to Fresh Vegetables
The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) assay is a laboratory procedure developed in 1992 at the National Institute of Aging in Silver Springs, Maryland. It is used to measure the antioxidant capacities of many foods, juices, and oils. The higher the ORAC score, the more capable that particular food or oil is of destroying free radicals (Free radicals can cause disease and aging by changing the structure of the body’s cell walls, DNA, and protein, disrupting their important functions), thus retarding the aging process and preventing cancers and other diseases.
Foods with a high ORAC score may be able to protect cells and their components from oxidative damage. Oxygen radicals are chemicals that form naturally inside the body through the process of oxidation. Everyday functions such as digestion and physical activity produce oxygen radicals. Daily exposure to polluted air, rancid food and oxidizing radiation from the sun and electrical appliances also contribute.
An easy to understand example of oxidation is to imagine rust attacking metal. When the rust eats away at the metal, the metal starts to weaken and decay until it can no longer work. This is what happens to our body when free radicals attack it. Organs, cells and other parts of the body can be weakened by oxidation. This leads to diseases such as cancer, skin and heart diseases, senile dementia and osteoarthritis.
Studies have shown that eating foods with a high ORAC score will raise the antioxidant levels in the blood by around 10 to 25%. The ORAC figure suggested by experts is around 5,000 units per day to have a significant effect on plasma and tissue antioxidant levels. Eating eight to ten servings of brightly colored fruits and vegetables or dark greens will help achieve this level.
Here are some examples of ORAC scores:
Fruits and Vegtables Essential Oils
Carrots 210 Sandalwood (Aloes) 160
Oranges 750 Frankincense 630
Beets 840 Rose of Sharon (cistus) 3,860
Raspberries 1,220 Cinnamon 10,340
Strawberries 1,540 Spikenard 54,800
Blueberries 2,400 Myrrh 379,800
Wolfberries 25,300 Clove 1,078,700
Most essential oils score higher than most fruits and vegetables, as the two tables above suggest. In fact, essential oils have the highest ORAC scores of all substances in the world. An ounce of Clove Oil has the antioxidant capacity of 320 pounds of carrots, 28 quarts of blueberries, or 10 gallons of beet juice. The exceptionally high ORAC scores of essential oils partially explains why living with them in your daily environment – to breathe, eat, and apply to your body – can support all of your systems and contribute effectively towards long healthful living, even when used in very small quantities, and even when only inhaling them.

Myrrh In The Book of Revelation – Smurna: Suffering Church In The Last Days
The Greek word for myrrh is “smurna,” which shares the same root name of the city and church mentioned in the book of Revelation. Smyrna was the second church of the seven churches of Asia John was instructed to write in Revelation 2:8-11. Interestingly, this church was distinguished as being persecuted and understood the bitterness of mistreatment for the sake of the Gospel.
Myrrh has been known to promote a feeling of security and acts as well as a pain-reliever, which is why the Romans added it to the sour wine and offered it to Yeshua on the cross.
Did you know we are going to smell his coming? Psalm 45:8 says, “All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.” His garments will be scented with these fragrances!
In Biblical times, 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 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.

The Story of Thieves Essential Oil
Editor Note: Here is an interesting youtube video on the story of Thieves essential oil (TM) of Young Living Oil. I found this historical information very interesting and thought you would too. We no longer carry or distribute YL essential oils because our personal calling and devotion is to the Bride of Christ and preparing her for the Messiah’s return. The Lord has placed it on my heart to prepare the bride as today’s priesthood and the importance of using the oils for anointing and healing. They must be pure and not profaned (treated common). We didn’t want our message or mission with Heal With Oil to be compromised with a MLM business and confuse folks with the mixture of religions. YL is a pioneer organization of the aromatherapy movement in the United States and for that I am grateful, but because they purpose is to sell to anyone/everyone whether they are wiccan, pagan, Mormon, Christian, etc. promoting new age ideas, we feel it necessary to find essential oils that are of the same therapeutic grade quality on our own, without the association of another beliefs. We believe essential oils work to heal the body but feel the calling of the healing arts must be returned to priesthood and all glory given to the Creator, who is the God that heals. We don’t worship the creation, but the creator of Heaven and Earth, Yahweh. Visit our website at http://www.HealWithEssentialOil.com or http://www.HealWithOil.com.
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.

Myrrh Essential Oil – Symbolic of the First and the Last in the Bible – Alef and Tov – Alpha and Omega – The Beginning and the End
Myrrh is the first oil mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 37:25, when Joseph’s jealous brothers sold him into slavery to a caravan of Midianites (incense traders) that we on their way to Egypt. The Scriptures tell us that the caravan was carrying “balm and myrrh.” Years later during the famine, Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt to buy food where they encountered Joseph as the Egyptian ruler. Interestingly, Jacob, their father (Israel), told his sons to bring gifts for the Prince and the Scriptures tells us in Genesis 43:11, they brought him “balm and myrrh”- the same two oils that accompanied Joseph into slavery.
Not only is myrrh the first oil mentioned in the Bible, it is also the last one mentioned in Revelation 18:13, which describes the destruction of Babylon when all of these wonderful fragrances and ointments will be no more. Myrrh is rich with symbolism and is mentioned 156 times in the Bible.
Myrrh was also one of the first gum resins/oil given as a gift to Yeshua as a child by the Magi. Matthew 2:11 tells us, “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.” Certainly by no coincidence, myrrh was also the last oil offered to Yeshua at Golgotha when He was delivered to be crucified. In Mark 15:23 we read how they offered Him, “wine mingled with myrrh,” but He refused it. Yeshua refused the myrrh as a pain-reliever, because He agreed to come down in the form of man and drink from the cup of suffering and that He did. As the Alpha and the Omega – the Alef and the Tov – the beginning and the end – He identified with us in His pain and sorrow, so that we could have the courage to seek and know Him intimately through the fellowship of suffering.

Amazing Healing Powers of Olive Leaf Extract From the Tree of Life
In the 1850′s, medical reports described how olive leaves cured malaria. In 1969, Upjohn Pharmaceutical Company researchers performed laboratory studies on the effect of elenolic acid (the active ingredient in oleuropein) on viruses and found that it killed every virus that it was tested against. Many studies have been performed throughout Europe and the United States scientifically backing olive leaf extract as a strong antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and antiparasitic agent, and it does not harm beneficial bacteria.
