"Biblical oils are highly concentrated, volatile plant extracts," Explains Flash. "We obtain essential oils through a few different extraction methods, and the part of the plant we get the essential oil from can be different depending on the oil but is typically the most aromatic part. Frankincense oil, for example, comes from the resin of a tree, while citrus oils come from the rind." Because essential oils are obviously all-natural, it might be easy to assume that they're gentle and largely nonreactive. This is where many seem to ignore their benefits by definition, it's extremely potent stuff. On average, they are up to 70 times more powerful than dried herbs. As such, "Biblical Oils Are Precious" This means that a couple of drops go a long way... and aside from very specific oils (mentioned in Scripture), essential oils should always be diluted properly before applying them directly to the skin.
Combinations made by the apothecary contain special ways of blending herbs and resins that only years of experience can teach. Skip the third cup of coffee and keep uplifting essential oils on hand instead. Citruses are specifically associated with boosting mood and energy levels, alleviating fatigue-inducing anxiety and stress to boot.
