Essential Oils of the Bible: Sandalwood and Cypress

Sandalwood

In the Bible, Sandalwood is called the oil of joy and satisfaction, along with Frankincense, Myrrh, and Cedar. Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea brought Sandalwood and Myrrh to bury Jesus, and at today's prices, the estimated amount would be around $200,000.

The main benefits of Sandalwood are that it promotes mental clarity and improves memory. It can increase testosterone levels and is an aphrodisiac. It can help reduce inflammation, regulate blood pressure, and inhibit tumor growth. It also acts as a natural deodorant and perfume. I particularly love it and use it with dōTERRA Hair Serum and two drops of this oil after washing my hair, and when my hair dries, I can smell its scent all day long.

Emotionally, Sandalwood is the oil of Sacred devotion. It teaches respect and reverence for the divine, humility, spiritual clarity, and connection with higher consciousness. It is also an oil with a very high vibration. You can use Sandalwood while meditating. You can place a drop of the oil on your third eye during prayer, which will open you to this spiritual connection and clarity.

Cypress

Cypress is celebrated in the Bible as a symbol of strength, security and prosperity. It was a wood often used to build houses and boats. Legend has it that Jesus was crucified on a cross made of cedar and cypress.

The benefits of Cypress include improving the appearance of varicose veins and cellulite. It also helps to reduce hemorrhoids. It is wonderful for people who have circulation problems in their legs or who feel swollen and tired. This oil is wonderful for a massage. Cypress with Frankincense on the legs will help to reduce swelling, bruises and muscle strains.

Cypress can help with prostate health, edema, reduce fluid and calm respiratory conditions.

Emotionally, it is an oil of fluidity. Recommended for people who are very rigid in their methodical way of working. I say this from my own experience, because I was a person with this tendency, and this oil helped me a lot and changed everything in my life.

So if you need this help on the emotional side, this oil will help you let things flow, help you trust that things will be safe. It is important that at some point, no matter how calm and relaxed you are, we need to believe and let things flow. This oil gives fluidity of movement, which will let things flow.

It can be applied to the chest, the back of the neck, the soles of the feet, and in the diffuser whenever you need it. As I said in a prior post, leave the diffuser on for a week, so that the oil itself can do its work.
