Oils + The Bible
When we don't understand things in the Bible we often chalk it up to symbolism or as a cultural phenomenon. It was just a few years ago, after a lot of suffering, that I learned about and began to experience the power God placed in His creation.

When multiple medical doctors are baffled by what is happening in your body and you feel like your life is being sucked away, you may also turn to alternative ideas. I did, and I'm so grateful to once again be living a full, abundant life! God knew what he was doing when he gave us plants! Essential Oils are the life-blood of a plant, carrying healing nutrients to every part of the plant. And when extracted and distilled properly, can offer the same kind of benefits to our body.
