Healing Oils
Welcome to the exciting world of ESSENTIAL OILS: Gods provision for healing!
This might be brand new to you, as it was to me three years ago when I was introduced to therapeutic grade essential oils. Since that time my family and I have experienced amazing results as we’ve taken classes, read books, talked to professionals, and learned how to use essential oils for almost all our healing needs, both physical and emotional. I am thoroughly convinced that God intends for us to use the “life blood” of the plants for our healing, just as plants provide us with oxygen, food, shelter, clothing, and beauty. From Genesis to Revelation, plants are pointed to as our partners in healing. I hope the information provided here is clear and practical and helps you understand what essential oils are and how you can begin to use them yourself.
A preliminary word of caution
Not all essential oils are the same. We only use essential oils from one reliable source—Young Living. Please contact Debby if you want to learn more about essential oils or click here to order essential oils.
A little history
Essential oils were the very first medicines. They were used throughout the ancient world as shown through Egyptian hieroglyphics (3000 BC) and written about by Hippocrates around 400 BC.
When thieves broke into the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs they stole the jars of essential oils and left the gold and jewels behind. When the Magi brought their gifts to the baby Jesus they gave him frankincense and myrrh. When a woman anointed Jesus’ feet the New Testament says the oil she used was worth more than a year’s wages.
During the great plagues of the Dark Ages, thieves stripped dead bodies of their jewelry and robbed their homes without getting sick—because they were perfumers and spice traders and knew how to protect themselves with oils such as clove, cinnamon, lemon, eucalyptus, and rosemary.
What are essential oils?
Unlike the familiar fatty oils we use for cooking (which are very large molecules and are part of the seed that “feeds the baby plant”), essential or aromatic oils are the lifeblood of the plant. They regulate plant growth like hormones and help with metabolism like enzymes. They serve as the plant’s immune system warding off dangerous viruses, bacteria, microbes, fungi, parasites, and insects. When a plant is injured, the essential oils flow into the wound and initiate healing.
Essential oils can do many of the same things for human and animals. Their molecules are so small and vibrate at such high frequencies that they vaporize and become gases. That’s how we smell them. That also means they are able to penetrate human tissues and reach all parts of our bodies through the blood stream. They can even cross the blood-brain barrier. Unlike man-made pharmaceuticals, they have no adverse side effects.
Essential oils are:
• Immune stimulating
• Supportive of the body’s natural defenses
• Supportive of the immune, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous, and other body systems
• Aiding in maintaining normal cellular regeneration
• Mood elevating
• Antiseptic (topical use only)
• High in antioxidants
• Aromatic
• Oxygenating
• Boosting to stamina and energy
• Helpful in relaxation
• Helpful in managing stress and frustration
• Helpful in reducing the appearance of aging
• Helpful in the improvement of mental clarity
• Helpful in promoting overall health, vitality, and longevity
In coming months I hope to share more information about these precious substances and how they can impact our health, both physical and emotional. Plants were created for us. They take our carbon dioxide and return it to us as oxygen. They provide our food—or the food for our food. We use them for our clothing, our shelter, our beauty and inspiration. It makes perfect sense that they are our partners in healing too.
A basic book to begin with is Healing Oils of the Bible by David Stewart.
Debby and John and their family have been learning about and using essential oils for three years. They are excited to share their discoveries with you.

Information about Young Living Oils and Why They Can Be Trusted
Essential oils are the subtle, volatile liquids that are distilled from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. They contain oxygenating molecules which transport the nutrients to the cells of the body. Without oxygen, nutrients cannot be assimilated, leaving us nutritionally depleted.
Clinical research shows that essential oils may even help create an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., cannot live. Science is only now rediscovering these healing substances that were used in ancient times.
Gary Young is the leading researcher of aromatherapy in North America. He is dedicated to bringing the knowledge and power of essential oils back into today’s world. His research and formulas are helping to restore these important ancient health traditions.
Young Living Essential Oils, which was founded by D. Gary Young, N.D., provides various cutting-edge essential oil products. But the real story began in 1973 when a near-fatal logging accident left him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. After two years of intense pain, depression, drugs and three suicide attempts, Gary decided to take control of his own destiny. He began searching for natural ways to heal his body, which led him to the discovery of essential oils. He was so effective in his efforts that thirteen years later he ran a half-marathon, placing 60th out of 970 participants.
His search for natural ways to heal the body led him to study the sciences of hematology, acupuncture, and pathology, to name just a few. He was relentless, receiving certifications in nutrition, herbology, massage, ortho-molecular cell therapy, lympholgy, and naturopathy. At his clinic in Mexico, Gary experimented with pure essential oils and was inspired to formulate his herbal food supplements.
In 1985 he received the Humanitarian Award from the State Medical Examiner’s Office of Baja California, (one of only six ever awarded) for his research and successful treatment of degenerative diseases. He pioneered the field study of the blood in its relationship to bacteria and viruses. His research has taken him throughout the U.S., Mexico, England, Europe, the Middle East, and Egypt to compile valuable historical findings. His many special honors include becoming one of the first American members of the International Federation of Aromatherapists, headquartered in the Royal Masonic Hospital of London.
Young Living is one of the most unique and exciting nutritional companies in the world today. The science of Aromatherapy and essential oils is as old as the beginning of time but is one that has been lost through the ages, and only in the last 50 years is it making its reentry into the modern world.
Young Living’s mission is to bring back the ancient knowledge of the elements that were given to us at the time of creation for the healing, sustaining, and protection of mankind. Ancient records indicate that this was mankind’s first medicine. Essential oils were used by Christ and biblical prophets, like Abraham and Moses, as well as kings, priests, emperors, and pharaohs from different cultures and times, to promote youthfulness, beauty and protection from disease and plagues of their day. Science continues to validate the powerful use of essential oils.
To ensure the finest quality and availability of oils for their products, Young Living is cultivating hundreds of acres of organically grown crops for the distillation of essential oils. Young Living is the only company in the world that is growing from seed, harvesting, distilling, formulating, packaging and marketing products with essential oils as well as educating in their use and application. Their ongoing university research is validating the benefits of essential oils and Aromatherapy.
John and I are very excited to share this life-changing information with those who are looking for truth and knowledge that may bring healing in many different ways and freedom from the captivity of pain, disease and emotional bondage.

How Essential Oils Work
The effectiveness of essential oils cannot be fully understood without some discussion of frequency. Frequency is the measurable rate of electrical energy flow that is constant between any two points. Everything has frequency. Pure Essential Oils have very high frequency. Dr. Robert O. Becker in his book, The Body Electric, establishes that the human body has an electrical frequency and that much about a person’s health can be determined by ones frequency. In 1992, Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology, an independent division of Eastern State University in Cheny Washington, built the first frequency monitor in the world. Tainio has determined that the average frequency of the human body during the day time is 62-68 Hz. (A healthy body frequency is 62-72 Hz.) When the frequency drops the immune system is compromised. If the frequency drops to 58 Hz. cold and flu symptoms appear, at 55 Hz. diseases like Candida take hold, at 52 Hz. Epstein Bar, and at 42 Hz. Cancer. According to Dr. Royal Rife every disease has a frequency. He found that certain frequencies can prevent the development of disease and that others would destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases of lower frequency. The study of frequencies raises an important question concerning the frequencies of substances we eat, breath, and absorb. Many pollutants lower healthy frequency. Processed/canned food has a frequency of zero. Fresh produce has up to 15 Hz., dry herbs from 12 to 22 Hz. and fresh herbs from 20 to 27 Hz. Essential oils start at 52 Hz. and go as high as 320 Hz., the frequency of Pure Rose Oil. Clinical research shows that essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus etc. cannot live.
Essential Oils Are Aromatic
Essential oils are highly aromatic and therefore many of the benefits can be obtained by simply inhaling them. This can be done by breathing in the fragrance from the bottle or can be diffused into the room. Essential oils when diffused can be the best air filtration system in the world. They will: (1) Purify by removing metallic particles and toxins from the air. (2) Increase atmospheric oxygen. (3) Destroy orders from mold, cigarettes and animals. (4) Fill the air with a fresh herbal aromatic scent. (5) Increase ozone and negative ions in the house which inhibits bacteria growth.
Essential Oils Penetrate
The penetrating characteristic of essential oils greatly enhances their ability to be effective. 100% Pure, Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils will penetrate into the body when applied to the skin. Essential oil placed on the feet will be distributed to every cell in the body in 21 minutes. They will even penetrate a finger or toe nail to treat fungus underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions about Essential Oils
OILS STANDARDS
In America, essential oils are governed by the perfume industry. This means that legally, if a bottle contains only one drop of true essential oil, they can label it as “Pure.” France exports 100 times more Lavender than it produces. How is this possible? Only if the lavender is cut and diluted with other ingredients.
PERFUME GRADE
Most oils found in natural food and bath shops are “perfume grade.” This means that the distillation method has likely utilized chemicals to extract more oil than the plant would normally release, and therefore the bottle likely has a good percentage of chemical filler. Such oils are created primarily for profit, rather than for medicinal benefit. Perfume grade oils have been rendered toxic by distillation methods, fillers, and chemical extractions, and may cause adverse reactions.
THERAPEUTIC GRADE
Young Living Essential Oils define true “Therapeutic Grade” to mean they have been properly distilled to capture the living, intelligent chemistry of the plant. Young Living is a totally green and organic company, from seed to soil, from the water used during growing, to proper harvest time and distillation on the day of harvest. Anyone can tour the Young Living farms and view the distillation process. You cannot find this level of disclosure on any other essential oils sites. Remember, an essential oil can be “organic” and still be improperly distilled for therapeutic use.
WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?
Essential oils are the immune system of the plant, functioning much like blood functions in our body--carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and tissues while carrying away toxins and infection.
WHY DO THEY WORK SO WELL IN OUR BODIES?
Because our cellular chemistry is much the same as essential oils, our body intelligence recognizes them as beneficial and immediately absorbs the oils into the system, moving them throughout the body and its cells. Essential oils move easily through cell walls and tissue. Different plant oils move more quickly than others into the system due to their larger or smaller molecular structure. The smaller structured (high frequency) oils may be taken in as quickly as 20 seconds, and in 20 minutes can be present in every cell of the body.
DO THEY HARM HEALTHY TISSUE?
Essential oils will neutralize a pathogen within the plant, but not harm healthy tissue ,and they work similarly in our bodies. Essential oils will push out petroleum-based chemistry that may be in our tissue from exposure to chemicals, plastics and such in our air, food, water and body care products
DO THEY WORK AGAINST BACTERIA, VIRUSES, AND OTHER PATHOGENS?
Due to the complex nature of essential oil chemistry, pathogens are unlikely to develop a resistance to them. One essential oil may have 20 to 30 chemical components which the microbe must contend with. Imagine the power of a particular antimicrobial blend of oils, where numerous complex chemistries continue to eliminate pathogens. The simple chemical chemistry of antibiotics is no match for the living intelligent chemistry of natural essential oils. Thieves and the Thieves Foaming Hand Soap are wonderful alternatives to commercial chemical-based antimicrobial soaps such as those containing “Triclosan,” a known carcinogenic chemical.

Here are some testimonies about its amazing results in helping eyesight:
“My eyesight had deteriorated enough that I needed a stronger prescription every year over the last 5 years. Just a month after only one ounce a day of NingXia Red Juice, I noticed that I could actually read closer than the full length of my arms!"--Mark
“I just turned 63 and NEVER in my life have had an UN-restricted drivers license.. This year I passed WITHOUT my glasses. I had doubled up on NingXia Red for about three months and went thru two cans of Power Meal. It really made a difference. The lady at the Sec. of State asked me if I had laser surgery.” –Dolly
“How very interesting to hear about eyesight improvement while taking NingXia Red. In August I had an eye exam and when asked how my eyes had been, I told the doctor I had to keep pushing my glasses down on my nose because they were too strong. He looked at me as if he had never heard anyone say that. I also told the doc. I wasn’t wearing my contacts because everyone seemed too close to me. I re-ordered NingXia Red and expect to one day have 20/20 vision and maybe my cataracts will be gone too.” --Barbara
