WHAT DOES THE BIBLE REALLY SAY ABOUT OILS FOR HEALING?


Have you ever asked: 'What does the Bible really say about oils for healing?' Many people have. It is my hope that these few paragraphs will inspire you to delve further into the infinite care and detail to which our Creator has gone, so as to provide for us the medicines we need to heal and maintain our health. 

It is not for us to create these healing substances, though. God did that already. It is for us to tune in with his wisdom and his will and to educate ourselves on how to restore our wellness and maintain our health by the use of what he has already created. Among these divine gifts are the oils of plants. God made them and gave us the intelligence to discover and learn how to use them. 

Watch my free video, "What does the Bible really say about oils for healing?" HERE. It is based on both scripture and science. It is a resource wherein the ancient and Biblical arts of healing are related to the medical sciences of today. 

Healing is a holistic spiritual term, not a medical one. The ancient priests and prophets of the Bible anointed people with oil and prayed with them for their spiritual purification, moral repentance, and healing. So did Jesus. So did his disciples. and so did those in the first century church. 

The healing oils of the Bible are essential or aromatic. These oils are the vital fluids of plants that are their life blood. They are called "essential" because they are necessary for the life of the plant and contain the "essence" of the plant. Essential oils contain life force and intelligence (they are God created to work in specific ways, not only in the plant, but also within the human body). It was part of God's healing plan before we were even created. 

These oils contain vibrational energy that imbues them with healing abilities that work within the human body. Essential oils are composed of tiny molecules that can penetrate into every cell, administering healing therapy at the most fundamental levels of our bodies. 

They differ from the fatty oils we use for cooking. Fatty oils are composed of molecules much too large to penetrate to cellular levels. The familiar vegetable oils we use for foods have no therapeutic abilities, at least not in the same ways as essential oils.

In biblical times, essential oils were inhaled, applied to the body, and taken internally. Their benefits extend to every aspect of our beings: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The ancient people of the Holy Land seemed to understand this quite well. They used aromatic oils for every purpose from maintaining wellness, to physical healing, to enhancement of spiritual states in worship, to emotional cleansing, to purification from sin.

Hi friend, I’m Paula

 
… a grandma, pastor and follower of Jesus

I've always felt pulled to the quiet, sacred spaces where transformation happens—not in the spotlight of large ministries, but in the intimate moments of women (and men's) lives. As a spiritual midwife, I walk alongside Christian women, guiding them through the space between struggle and breakthrough, helping them uncover their God-given identity.

Faith, Coaching, and Lived Experience

Unlike many, my approach stems from real-life wisdom, not just theory. 

  • As a Christian coach and certified practitioner in holistic techniques, I draw from my own story to teach others.
  • I believe in the power of small steps that add up over time, like starting with a simple prayer or a moment of journaling amidst the chaos of daily life.
  • Through one-on-one coaching, I help women build sustainable devotional rhythms that bring calm and clarity, transforming overwhelm into opportunities for revelation.
I'm passionate about empowering women to integrate faith into their everyday routines—whether that's balancing family, work, or personal growth. By weaving Scripture with practical self-care strategies, I show how these elements can help you feel more connected to God and at peace in your relationships. As a mom and grandma myself, I understand the profound influence we have on our children and grandchildren, and I love reminding women of the eternal impact of their faithful steps.

Embracing Your Unique Calling

At the heart of my work is a celebration of individuality, inspired by truths like those in Psalm 139:14, which reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I see the God-sized potential in every woman I meet, even when it's hidden under layers of busyness or doubt. My gifts—empathetic listening, biblical insight, and a knack for creating sacred rhythms—serve as bridges between ancient faith and modern life. I encourage you to give yourself room to breathe, to honor your unique path, and to make it doable today by taking those first, gentle steps toward freedom and empowerment.

If you're yearning for a deeper connection with God, more balance in your daily life, and the tools to strengthen your faith, I'm here to guide you. Let's start that journey together—save your seat for an Aroma of Christ Coaching Hour + Peace RESET and discover how small, consistent changes can lead to lasting transformation.
