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.

Sarah Cowan served in the Peace Corps in Uganda from 2006 to 2008. Read her blog about life in Uganda. She worked in the village of Sanje, population 10,000, where she taught positive living, health and life skills, physical education, music and some English to children at a local school where most of the students are orphans. She also focused on teaching children about HIV and AIDS.

She raised money to help the community build a library, as the closest one is 150 miles away, and a play pump, a combination merry-go-round and water pump. Members of her Freeport church, St. John United Church of Christ, collected money for the library.

In 2012, the Children of Uganda, 20 children aged 8 to 18, toured the United States to perform traditional Ugandan songs and dances to share the story of their history and culture. Because of Cowan’s influence this dance troupe brought their show to Freeport.

The kids wanted to come to Freeport to say thanks for the library that Freeport people contributed for, and to introduce them to their culture.

This was a fundraising event for the orphanage — to sustain their home and provide food, education, and medical assistance. During this two-month tour, the Children of Uganda hoped to raise $1 million for programs at the orphanage. Sarah is on the board of directors for the Children of Uganda and was able to include Freeport on their 2012 tour of 11 major cities in the United States.
