Historical Use of Essential Oils

Essential oils are considered mankind’s first medicine and have been used around the world for centuries. Essential oils and other aromatics have been used in religious rituals, to treat various illnesses, and for other physical and spiritual needs.

Research dates the use of essential oils back to 4500 BC. Ancient Egyptians were the first to discover the potential of fragrance, and records demonstrate that oils and aromatics were used for treating illness and performing rituals and religious ceremonies in temples and pyramids. In fact, three oils that are still commonly used today—cedarwood, myrrh, and frankincense—were used in the embalming process.[1]

According to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians used oils thousand of years before the time of Christ.

There are more than 188 references to oils in the Bible, and some precious oils like frankincense, myrrh, rosemary, cassia, and cinnamon were used for the anointing and healing of the sick.

Additionally, biblical prophets recognized the use of essential oils as protection
against disease.[2]

Twelve Oils of Ancient Scripture Kit

Twelve Oils of Ancient Scripture™ contains the twelve most significant oils found in the Bible. Young Living’s wish in bringing them to you is that you will savor and enjoy the beautiful fragrances and intriguing histories of these precious pure essential oils. Gary Young draws on his travels to biblical lands and explains the twelve oils on an audio CD, also included in this collection.

The reintroduction of essential oils into modern medicine first began during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since that time essential oils have been used traditionally to kill harmful germs, as well as spiritually to balance mood, lift spirits, and dispel negative emotions.

Aromatherapy is the inhalation of plant oils, called essential oils, for improved physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Essential oils are the pure essence of the plant—often referred to as nature’s living energy—and can provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly. Essential oils can be used on their own for aromatherapy or with complementary natural ingredients, such as vegetable or carrier oils.

Aromatherapy for Improved Health and Wellness

Aromatherapy is one of many ways you can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. When practicing aromatherapy it’s vital that only pure, undiluted essential oils are used. Synthetic, perfume-grade products lack the necessary level of beneficial constituents and offer little or no positive effect.

Only by diffusing pure Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ (YLTG) essential oils can you create a proper mood, state of mind, or improve your physical well-being.

The Science of Aromatherapy

When a YLTG essential oil is diffused, it’s inhaled and processed through the olfactory system, which then sends the therapeutic benefits of the aroma to the brain. Depending on the specific constituents in the oil, you may begin to feel the release of negative emotions, the soothing of undue muscle tension, or experience the cleansing effect of the oils as your body eliminates toxins.

There are two ways to use essential oils for aromatherapy: inhalation and topical application.

Inhalation

When inhaling oils for aromatherapy, here are some commonly used techniques:

• Inhale essential oils directly—simply smell them straight from the bottle.
• Diffuse essential oils using a device that disperses the oil into the air in a micro-fine vapor. Young Living offers a line of essential oil diffusers that effectively spreads the aromatic benefits of essential oils through the air without damaging their important constituents.
• Use essential oils with a humidifier. Sprinkle a few drops of essential oil on a tissue or small cloth and place in front of the escaping steam. Avoid putting the oil directly into your humidifier, as it will float on top of the water instead of dispersing with the water vapor.
• Pour hot water into a bowl and add a few drops of essential oil. Lower your face a few inches over the bowl and cover your head and the bowl with a towel, then breathe deeply and slowly.

Topical Application

Essential oils can be applied directly to the skin. Be sure to read the label before using oils topically, as some oils must be first diluted with a carrier oil—like Young Living’s V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex—prior to use.

Key areas for topical application are:

• Crown of head
• Temples
• Behind ears
• Neck
• Upper back
• Abdomen
• Over vital organs
• Soles and tops of feet
• Ankles

Steps for topical application are:

1. Place 2–3 drops of oil in the palm of your hand or directly on the desired area.
2. If placing oil in your hand, rub palms together in a circular motion and then massage oil onto the desired point of application. If applying directly to the desired area, massage the oil into your skin using a circular motion. Repeat as desired.

Note: Essential oils are very potent and some may be irritating to the skin. If irritation occurs, immediately apply a carrier oil or pure vegetable oil to the area to dilute. Please read label direction for each individual oil before using.

The following methods are ideal ways to use essential oils and experience their health-enhancing benefits:

Inhalation

Inhaling essential oils heightens the senses and can trigger numerous desired responses in the body. Follow these guidelines when using essential oils for inhalation:

1. Inhale directly—simply smell them.
2. Diffuse the oils using a diffuser,  which disperses the oil in a micro-fine vapor into the air. The diffuser will not heat the oils, thus ensuring full benefits, as extreme heat can damage important constituents in the oil.
3. Use with a humidifier. Put a tissue or small cloth, sprinkled with a few drops of oil, in front of the escaping steam. (Do not put essential oil in your humidifier. It will float on top of the water instead of rising with the water vapor and may cause damage to your humidifier.)
4. Carefully pour hot water into a bowl and add a few drops of essential oil. Cover your head and bowl in a tent-like fashion with a towel. Breathe deeply and slowly.

Topical Application

Topical application of many essential oils is safe and can offer an enjoyable, relaxing experience. For topical application, follow these simple steps:

1. Carefully tip the oil bottle and place 2–3 drops in the palm of your hand or directly on the desired application area.
2. If dropping oil in your hand, rub palms together in a circular motion and then massage oil onto the desired point of application. If applying directly to the desired area, use your hand to massage the oil in a circular motion into the skin. Repeat if desired.
3. Caution: Essential oils are very potent and some may be irritating to the skin. If irritation occurs, immediately apply pure vegetable oil such as V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex to the area to dilute. Please read label directions for each individual oil before using.

Internal Consumption

Many essential oils make excellent food flavorings or dietary supplements. To use essential oils for internal consumption, Young Living suggests these methods:

1. Place several drops of oil into an empty capsule and swallow the capsule with water.
2. Add 1–2 drops to a glass of water or rice milk.
3. Put 1–2 drops onto a piece of bread or add to your meals when cooking.
4. Add 1–2 drops onto a teaspoon of Young Living Blue Agave and swallow.
5. Drop directly onto the tongue and swallow. Exercise extreme caution when using this method. Many essential oils are potent and should be tested by pouring a single drop onto a spoon and tasting a small portion to determine the amount of oil to be used.

Arm yourself with the power of Thieves

It’s a rough world we live in today.

The germs, bacteria and respiratory viruses that surround us have never been stronger or more antibiotic-resistant.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to keep your body on alert against attacks to your immune system. Whether you’re trying to battle the “bug” at the office or warding off household germs that family members leave behind, the arsenal of natural Thieves-enhanced products delivers positive antiseptic benefits to cleanse, calm and sooth you—body and soul.

Thieves Essential Oil Blend is a proprietary blend of:
* Clove
* Lemon
* Cinnamon Bark
* Eucalyptus
* Rosemary

Perfect for personal use, but powerful enough for…
* Hospitals
* Hospices
* Hotels
* Schools
* Industrial Safety Applications

Research conducted at Weber State University – in cooperation with D. Gary Young, as well as other documented research, indicates that most viruses, fungi, and bacteria cannot live in the presence of many essential oils, especially those high in phenols, carcacrol, thymol, and terpenes.

This, perhaps, offers a modern explanation why the Old Testament prophet Moses used aromatic substances to protect the Israelite’s from the plagues that decimated ancient Egypt.

It may also help us understand why a notorious group of thieves, reputed to be spice traders and perfumers, was protected from the Black Plague as they robbed the bodies of the dead during the 15th century.

Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th Edition, p6

Packed with powerful, germ-killing essential oils, the Thieves line helps eliminate airborne bacteria and boost the immune system.

The Thieves Kit offers protection during cold and flu season of winter months. But the products, based on the Thieves oil blend are best utilized day-by-day. They offer a safe but flexible and powerful multi-prong approach in the battle against germs—bacterial, fungi, or viruses—all year long.

In the battle to manage bacteria—especially MRSA, Thieves products provide a full-spectrum “overwhelming force” to fight enemy combatants on all fronts without the friendly fire of harsh chemicals and medicines.

Whether in the air, on surroundings, or inside or outside the body, Thieves products provide powerful antiseptic action with substances NOT toxic to humans or the environment.
