Biblical Aromatherapy

by Robert Bike

The Bible mentions about 232 plants by name, or closely enough to figure out what plant is meant. Of these, 24 are aromatic plants; that is, parts of the plants can be pressed or distilled to get an essential oil. Essential oils are the lifeblood of plants and have tremendous healing capabilities.

The healing power of plants is the basis for modern medicines.

Biblical Aromatherapy
discusses how the plants were used in biblical days and how you can use the essential oils from biblical plants.

Originally published in manuscript form in 1999, I completely revised the book and added illustrations.

Roger Folgate attended Freeport High School and graduated in the Class of 1922. He entered Lake Forest College in 1922 and went on to earn seven varsity letters, four in football, two in basketball and one in baseball. Captain of both the basketball and football teams, he was also selected All-Conference in both sports. His leadership went beyond the playing fields as he served as president of Student Government, the Class of 1926, the Athletic Board, and Digamma Alpha Upsilon. His involvement and leadership were honored by being admitted into the Iron Key Society. Graduating in 1926 with a degree in economics, he began his teaching and coaching career at Whitman College where he served as Director of Physical Education. In 1930 he married Ruth Martin '28. He received his Master's Degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1935 and the following year became Athletic Director at Pacific University in Oregon. Roger eventually became the owner of Folgate Music Company and also stayed involved with the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. Source: http://www.lakeforest.edu/foresters/rfolgate.htm.
