Aromatherapy

The art of aromatherapy has become extremely popular in the last twenty years. More and more stores, such as Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and others have shelves in pharmacy sections with little glass bottles of essential oils for sale. Houses of worship are scented with essential oils as well as church members selling and talking about how to use essential oils.

Along with the popularity of the use of aromatherapy come the “claims of healing”. Frankincense essential oil healed someone of cancer. Lavender essential oil enabled someone else to get some sleep. Other oil blends claim to calm, cheer, bring hope and joy and many other healings for the body as well. But is Aromatherapy, which is the therapeutic use of essential oils, the innocent holistic art that it claims to be, or is there more to it? How does the Lord Jesus Christ view aromatherapy? Are essential oils really found in the Bible? Is Aromatherapy found in the Bible? Is it right for a Christian to use essential oils?

Aromatherapy: From a Biblical Perspective takes an in depth look from the word of God to see what it has to say about the use of essential oils. This book covers the beginning of aromatherapy with the use of incense and then the introduction of the quintessential oils that have become commonly known simply as essential oils. An in-depth study of quintessence from the Bible is included and how it relates to the oils. Spirit oils and the conflict of the flesh and the Holy Spirit is explained. Where and how do the essential oils get their power is explained from the word of God.

Essential oils from at least twelve different companies are compared and charted as to the recommended use for each oil. Four metaphysical companies, four faith based companies, and four secular companies are compared and charted for you to see the similarities and differences in the use of each oil.

If you are concerned whether or not you should be using aromatherapy, this book will bring you to an absolute conclusion as to whether or not the Holy Spirit is pleased with the use of essential oils. The only question left will be what will you do with the truth?
