I used frankincense for my face, diluted with water and I instantly saw the difference. My skin was so silky and smooth. Want to try to use it for postpartum recovery. Looking forward to try myrrh and cinnamon essential oils

[@misslee9494]

[@janetlis2613]

@@DeniseDW what's is wrong with you 🤩

[@DeniseDW]

Jan R sorry my toddler did it. I will remove it.

[@Salvatoreguglielmo_]

Great video! Rose of Sharon however is believed to be Labdanum or a species of Cistus. Calamus is also believed to be Cannabis instead of the marshy reed known today as Calamus. Thanks for clarifying the little known Spikenard and Lavender confusion. The Greek word Nardos (Latin Nardinum) meant Lavender, Spikenard, and Valerian.

[@michaelangileo2760]

Praise Jesus!! Thank you.

[@katrussell6819]

I grow hyssop and use the dried plant in tea. Tastes lovely, like a mild cousin of anise.

[@carolwalker8489]

Valuable knowledge presented, yet so much info squeezed into a short video! I know the video you present is an overview. However, presented so fast that I have to keep going back. Yet still get confused over which oil is for which primary use. Like going through a beautiful countryside too fast to take it all in.

[@daniellekleinhoffify]

[@nataliefrancis1193]

Agreed

[@Adeline9418]

NEVER ingest essential oils. Not even safe. No matter who says what.

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

I couldn't pick a fave! Love Myrrh but couldn't use it because it was so thick. Currently on the look out for a blended one!

[@joete3324]

Just got your essential oils book, LOVE it! What's the rules of thumb, how much water per essential oil drop? I think I might use too much.....but is there such a thing as too much when it comes to making your house smell awesome?

[@closetomyharp7764]

So you use Frankincense and myrrh through aromatherapy to fight off cancer? Thank you and God Bless.🙂

[@3MEGALOVE]

AMEN!

[@bethanyoliviahernandez]

Love this topic, thank you so much! Do you think you could do a video on the overall diet during biblical times? Reason why the life expectancy was much higher and the huge role that food played. And in conjunction perhaps talk about the "Blue Zone". I know one of the cities in the "Blue Zone" is located in Greece which is one of the areas where the New Testament took place.

[@nateone6632]

Bethany Hernandez I had just been reading something speculating that Sin is actually cause for life expectancy slowly falling. I imagine differences today in diet are damaging... no doctor or expert, just something I read. the trees bearing fruit bearing seed in itself definitely points out that if something can't be replanted from itself it's not natural. we could all speculate phenotypes and cross breed of fruit are violation of this. sorry if none if this is slightly helpful

[@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa]

Nathan Steffanic you are correct, life expectancy shorten because of sin not diet. However we are to eat seed plants and vegetables. She needs to read the Bible for herself there are several fast for different reasons and outcomes.

[@lfreeman2219]

favs: spikenard, sandalwood, olive

[@cuman89]

Frankincense, Myrrh, Cinnamon, Cannabis -> Olive oil

[@projectspending674]

Hey Dr Axe - There's an on-line ad for a blend or myrrh, cinnamon, calamus and cassia for healing and pain relief. Thoughts on such a recipe? Thank you

[@ixthus78]

Hi Dr Axe, love your video! I am a Christian and also a doTerra advocate, can I share your video on my FB page?

[@drjoshaxe]

Hey there! Absolutely. Thanks for your support.

[@karbee21]

[@TimeEnding]

I do have a question! Is there anything to help with Urticaria Vasculitis as well chronic inflammation?? Please and thank you

[@AV-sr5by]

How do we apply them?

[@angieswan8080]

dr.axe, I am so grateful to see your information on essential oils. I have a dream to open a natural hair salon for all hair types. But I would like to use essential oil with base oils to bring healing to my clients scalp and hair. Please let me know if you are give a virtual class and how to use essential oils on hair so I can learn what needed to be learned to help my client. I have one client she has dry scalp and it seems like dandruff. I have a beauty book that give me all the oils and herbs plants to help my clients. the only thing I don't know how to do. Need your help but more information thank you so much can't wait to hear from you.

[@venaturelle]

Great video!

[@amitfromisrael5006]

which oils you can take internally and which are only for topical use and are not to swallow (like tea tree oil) is there a list for this

[@lialualex]

Thanks Dr where to purchase these authentic oils?

[@robina.5614]

Can someone recommend a good diffuser please? I've researched several brands on Amazon but they all seem to have reviews that say they don't last long before they quit working, so if anyone knows of a good dependable one that lasts, I'd love to know which ones are recommended. Thanks.

[@bobbifarrell5919]

Good Morning Dr. Axa, I just started with essential oil and the first 2 or 3 times it helped me sleep but I tried it last night and it didn't seem to help, not sure if it was a placebo effect or not. I used Wild Orange and lavender. One more thing do you know if essential oils been scientifically proven?

[@sfetterly6200]

What about Keneh Bosom it was widely used in the Old Testament and modern translations often mis-translate it to several of the oils you mentioned.

[@sfetterly6200]

Gadaliah YasharA'L Ben YAHUAH I'm aware of what we call it today and the propaganda concerning it since the 1930s. It's a shame the federal government continues to say it has no medicinal uses, I've used it as a medicine for over 40 years. For the past 5 1/2 years to help treat my cancer. I can't afford huge amounts to force a cure, but even small amounts help.

[@marygambrell8238]

Which oils can I consume and which oils are to be used as topical only?

[@marcosjimenez489]

And how do we use these oils? Is it best orally? Or just inhaling?

[@deborahrichardson4447]

How do I take calamus oil thank you

[@jodipilot8521]

Why do you talk about all the benefits of these 12 essential oils of the bible, but not sell them in your web site store? Just curious where I can get them.

[@melindap.ullrich4564]

My 5 year old granddaughter has a seizure disorder not epilepsy. And she also is non verbal Autistic with sensory disorders. The reason I am writing this is that in one of your essential oil videos Jordan Rubin said he put oils on his scalp, I am wondering if you could recommend oils and how to mix with a carrier oil to aid in the seizures! PLEASE and Thank you for your time.

[@AnimalFarm341]

Melinda P. Ullrich look up Kiran Krishnan at autismone media. Mega spore and Just Thrive biotics. Testimonial on a child becoming verbal. Microbiome (gut/brain connection)

[@susiegonzales4358]

Is anyway you could do websites and show oil you on this website please

[@milanimorales2645]

I like frankincense for my feet. Pain in my feet is huge because I work in a warehouse. I worked more than 12 hours on my feet because I used frankincense.

[@angelabutler368]

Where can you buy the blessed oil?

[@SuperChangetheworld]
