Each one has its own unique significance and uses. Enjoy the beautiful fragrances and intriguing&nbsp;histories of these precious oils!\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>ALOES\/SANDALWOOD<\/strong> (Santalum album) is the most valuable tree in the world. It&nbsp;takes 10 years for the sandalwood tree to form hardwood. Peak hardwood formation is&nbsp;achieved when the tree is between 40-60 years. King Tut&rsquo;s tomb was filled with&nbsp;alabaster jars of aloewood\/sandalwood oil which thieves later stole, leaving the alabaster&nbsp;jars behind. Sandalwood contains 90% sesquiterpenes which&nbsp;deprogram&nbsp;misinformation and carry oxygen to the cellular level.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>CASSIA <\/strong>(Cinnamomum cassia) comes from a slender&nbsp;evergreen tree which grows up&nbsp;to 20 feet tall. &nbsp;It is native to China. The oil is steam distilled from the bark. Cassia was&nbsp;an ingredient in the Holy Anointing Oil given to Moses. This exotic fragrance of&nbsp;vanilla\/cinnamon might be similar in its aroma to cinnamon, but it is physically and&nbsp;chemically much different. Care must be taken in topical use as it may cause skin&nbsp;sensation.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>CEDARWOOD <\/strong>(cedrus atlantica) produced mainly in Morocco, it is the species most&nbsp;closely related to the cedars of Lebanon. King David and King Solomon used this wood&nbsp;for the construction of their palaces because of its aromatic oil content which lasts&nbsp;indefinitely. Used by the Sumerians and Egyptians more than 5000 years ago,&nbsp;Cedarwood essential oil is believed to have been the first oil to be obtained by&nbsp;distillation. It was known as the oil of gladness in ancient times, and was used for a&nbsp;variety of purposes including temple worship, mood elevation and mental clarity.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>CYPRESS<\/strong> (cupressus sempervirens) The oil of Cypress has been used since ancient&nbsp;times for purification and as incense. Cypress is one of the oils most used for the&nbsp;circulatory system. Because it assists in moving stagnant matter, it can actually assist&nbsp;many systems of the body including&nbsp;circulatory, digestive, urinary, and integumentary (skin). It&nbsp;helps with cellulite, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, fluid retention, constipation, edema,&nbsp;excessive perspiration, and hand and feet sweating.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>FRANKINCENSE<\/strong> (Boswellia carterii) One of the gifts of the wise men to our Savior,&nbsp;frankincense would have been rubbed all over the body of the baby. Egyptian tradition&nbsp;says that &ldquo;Frankincense is good for everything from gout to a broken head&rdquo; or in other&nbsp;words &ldquo;good from head to toe&rdquo;. &nbsp;If in doubt, use Frankincense. Other names for&nbsp;frankincense are &ldquo;olibanum&rdquo; or &ldquo;Oil from Lebanon&rdquo;.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>GALBANUM<\/strong> (ferula gummosa) was valued for its medicinal and spiritual qualities. It&nbsp;was known as Moses favorite oil. If you&#39;re feeling overwhelmed, put 2-3 drops of Galbanum on the bottom of each foot to&nbsp;help bring emotional balance. &nbsp;If you can not seem to focus on what you are doing then put a drop in the palm&nbsp;of your hand and rub a little on each temple and on the brain stem. Cup hand over nose and&nbsp;inhale deeply.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>HYSSOP<\/strong> (hyssopus officinalis) has a very long history as a cleansing herb. Hyssop is a&nbsp;protective herb of the heavens. It is touched with the love and protection of the divine. &nbsp;Add several drops to a glass spray water bottle to clear a room of charged&nbsp;emotion or sadness. &nbsp;Rub a drop or two on shoulders to reduce tension. &nbsp;To loosen up a tight chest, inhale.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>MYRRH<\/strong> (commiphora myrrha) has one of the highest levels of sesquiterpenes, a class&nbsp;of compounds that has direct effects on the hypothalamus, pituitary and amygdala, the&nbsp;seat of our emotions. Research in Italy demonstrated that myrrh has pain-relieving properties as well, which is probably why it was administered to Jesus prior to his&nbsp;crucifixion.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>MYRTLE<\/strong> (Myrtus communis) The Hebrew name for Queen Esther was Hadassah which&nbsp;means myrtle. Myrtle oil is steam distilled from the leaves. Myrtle is antimutagenic, a&nbsp;liver stimulant, a prostate and thyroid stimulant, a sinus and lung decongestant, and is antispasmodic.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>ONYCHA<\/strong> (styrax benzoin) Although onycha is only mentioned in scripture by name&nbsp;once, it holds the high position of being an ingredient of the holy incense (Exodus&nbsp;30:34). Other names for onycha are &ldquo;benzoin&rdquo;, &ldquo;friar&rsquo;s balm&rdquo; and &ldquo;Java frankincense&rdquo;. &nbsp;Tincture of benzoin was an antiseptic used in hospitals for more than a hundred years&nbsp;(since the mid 1800s). Onycha may have been used in hospitals but it does NOT have a&nbsp;hospital smell. It contains vanillin aldehyde, which gives it the pleasant of vanilla. &nbsp;Onycha was valued anciently for its ability to speed healing of wounds and to help&nbsp;prevent infection.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>ROSE OF SHARON\/CISTUS<\/strong> (Cistus ladanifer) is also known as rock rose. It has&nbsp;been studied for regeneration of the cells and has a soft honey-like scent. &nbsp;For nervousness or uptightness, apply to wrist, inside elbows, temples, soles of&nbsp;the feet, and inhale. &nbsp;For a calming effect through out the house diffuse 15 to 20 minutes.<br \/>\n\t\t&nbsp;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<strong>SPIKENARD<\/strong> (Nardostachys jatamansi) Spikenard has also been known as &ldquo;nard&rdquo;&nbsp;and &ldquo;false Indian Valerian root&rdquo; oil. It was prized in early Egypt and in the Middle East&nbsp;during the time of our Savior. Spikenard is 93% sesquiterpenes which have the ability to&nbsp;oxygenate the brain. The amount of Spikenard that was poured on our Savior before his&nbsp;death would be worth almost $2,000.00 in today&rsquo;s currency or a year&rsquo;s wages for a&nbsp;common laborer in that time.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/angelaminelli.com\/blog\/11essentialoils\">Grab Your Essential&nbsp;Oils FREE REPORT here!<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\">\n\t~ Angela\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Me-2\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3980\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/angelaminelli.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Me-2-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" \/>Angela Minelli is an author, speaker and founder of Angela Minelli International, a heart-based global business serving purpose-driven everyday women and entrepreneurs whose self-image and weight issues are inhibiting their confidence and blocking them from pursuing their life&rsquo;s passion.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAngela&#39;s joy is in taking a stand for women who are living less than ideal lives, stopped by fear and doubt, which prevents them from <strong>stepping into their innate power<\/strong> and delivering their God-given genius to the world.
