I copied this from another post in another thread some time ago:
There was a webinar I saw on essential oils. Although we haven’t learned to use very much in the past, I am learning what I can, for they are very good at reversing disease as well as boosting our energy. I understand most medicine was taken from essential oils. Aspirin was also originally from the willow tree. It is said there are more than 300 essential oil references in the Bible, where kings and queens were anointed using these, given by the Magi as gifts, and used by Queen Esther. Hippocrates also prescribed them over 2000 yrs ago.
I understand they are 10-70 x the concentration in plants also. High in therapeutic compounds, these are small and can pass into the cell walls. They can destroy viruses and pathogenic bacteria, and gentle on the body too. I have used some before, like lavender and wintergreen, but know i/we’ve been missing a lot on this, not having grown up w/ them.
