Essential Oils of the Bible: Spikenard and Cassia

Spikenard

Spikenard is widely used in ointments and is an expensive and very exclusive oil. The Bible mentions that Mary anointed Jesus' feet with the purifying spikenard. John explains how spikenard was used to anoint Jesus a few days before his death and resurrection.

The main benefits of spikenard are its medicinal and antibiotic properties that can be used to reduce inflammation, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.

It strengthens the immune system, aids in hair growth and treats insomnia. For people who suffer from constipation, it also helps with this issue. Just rub one drop diluted with fractionated coconut oil on your belly.

For those familiar with this oil, you know it has a very particular aroma. It is not an aroma that pleases everyone, but it is powerful. In emotional aspects, it is the oil of gratitude, which brings feelings of contentment and peace.

Cassia

Cassia is the cousin of cinnamon. It is also considered by traditional Chinese medicine to be one of the 50 fundamental herbs. The Egyptians imported cassia to China and used it in the embalming process. In spiritual terms, Cassia refers to the devotion and consecration of the heart of the devotees and its main benefits are in regulating blood sugar. It is very similar to the properties of Cinnamon and the smell is also very similar and stimulates the metabolism, stimulates heat and the cold extremities of the body. Cinnamon is also a very hot oil.

So for those people who have this tendency to have cold extremities, you can do a massage with cassia or cinnamon with coconut oil. Cassia increases libido, detoxifies the lungs in the diffuser and, if used internally, helps to reduce the desire for sweets.

It is a natural antidepressant. For emotional aspects, Cassia is the oil of self-acceptance, the oil of courage, of self-esteem. It helps to bring feelings of self-confidence and authenticity.
