and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

Leviticus 14 Purification with Hyssop, Cedarwood;

Psalm 51:7 (KJV)
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.


 

One of the most powerful healing aspects of essential oils is their ability to penetrate the so called "Blood-Brain Barrier." When you breathe oil molecules into the back passages of your nose, they go straight to the brain in a central part called the amygdala (or diencephalon). This is the central headquarters of the limbic system, which manages your storage and filing system for all your emotional experiences. That part of the brain does not understand words and cannot be communicated to with spoken or written language. It responds only to smell. Hence, essential oils provide a powerful means to contact that non-verbal portion of our brains that stores our feelings and emotions.
