SPIKENARD
Our third oil of the Bible that we will look at is Spikenard. This oil comes from India and is a highly medicinal oil. It was also one of the most precious oils of the time , used only by Priests , Kings , or High Initiates. We know of course the New Testament speaks of Mary of Bethany who anointed the feet of Jesus with this oil before the Last Supper.
Spikenard has a variety of medical properties such as, anti-bacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, relaxant, and an immune stimulant.
Some other well known uses for Spikenard are insomnia, menstrual problems/ PMS , heart arrhythmias, nervous tension. Spikenard has fragrant influences also, such as, relaxing and soothing , and helps nourish and regenerate the skin.
In our Bible Spikenard is mentioned more than a few times, one being in the Song of Solomon:1:12 " While the King sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof"
I hope you have enjoyed this brief overview of our third Ancient oil of the Bible.

In The Beginning Myrrh
MYRRH
Let us take a look at our second Ancient Oil of the Bible which will be " Myrrh". This oil has many wonderful qualities that we will list later in this post. Myrrh was also one of the gifts that was brought to Jesus at His birth.
Myrrh is obtained through a steam distillation process of the gum/resin. The origin country of Myrrh is Somalia and Myrrh is mentioned in some of the oldest medical records dating back to the 16th century (BC)in an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes. Arabian people used Myrrh for many things such as chapped or cracked skin and wrinkles. It was also listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of highly regarded medicines by Hildegard of Bingen ( 1098-1179).
Medical properties of Myrrh have been said to be :
Powerful Antioxidant
Antitumoral
Anti-Inflammatory
Anti Bacterial
Antiviral
Antiparasitic
Analgesic/Anesthetic
Myrrh has had many uses throughout the years and here are just a few:
Diabetes
Cancer
Hepatitis
Fungal Infections(Candida / Ringworm
Tooth / Gum Infections
Skin Conditions (Eczema / Cracked and Dry Skin / Wrinkles and Stretch Marks.
Fragrant Advantages of Myrrh include:
Promotes Spiritual awareness and is uplifting because it contains
Sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of memory and emotions). Myrrh is found in many of our essential oils.
Genesis:43:11: And their father Israel said unto them, if it must be now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds.
Exodus: 30:23: "Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure Myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels".

In The Beginning Frankincense
Hello All
I'm John, Angie's husband. You may recall the past blogs of my 2007 journey as my family and I walked through the valley of death holding God's hand as He healed me of cancer. Well now she has encouraged me to join her in rejuvenating our blog site.

You may be wondering why I titled this "In The Beginning" so I will tell you. My first series of blogs will be about the "Ancient Oils of the Bible" Think about it , when God created the garden and Adam and Eve everything that was needed was in the garden. At that time there were no doctors or medicine as we know it today. It was all natural and made by God. It can't get any better that that.
So I'm going to introduce you to 12 oils of the Bible. I will give you a brief history of the oil and some of the things it was used for. I hope you not only enjoy exploring these ancient oils but may find them to help you in some way.
