Yet the more I learned about and experienced essential oils, the more I became intrigued with their ability to provide healing. Heidi once used an alcohol extract of Myrrh oil soaked into cotton balls and packed next to one of her wisdom teeth that had become infected and was causing serious pain. We were visiting a friend in the North woods of Wisconsin and he had a really strong Myrrh tincture that healed one of his teeth. The side of Heidi's face where the tooth was infected was actually getting red and warm and she was slightly feverish. It was not a good situation and something needed to happen quickly.
Jim offered us the tincture and told us how to use it. So we packed the Myrrh oil onto the cotton balls and she stuffed them up next to her swollen gums. Within a day and a half the swelling was gone and she was totally healed. I was amazed at the power of this natural remedy. Myrrh is mentioned in the bible as being a special substance for incense and oil and I could see why!
Another amazing facet of essential oils that intrigued me (and still does!) was the modern use of essential oils in aromatherapy. Frankincense, Myrrh and Cedar incense always had a meditative, spiritually awakening quality on me when used as an incense. It turns out that frankincense is known to cross the blood-brain barrier, and it may be that this is the reason it is known to have the quality of enhancing spiritual focus. Today, we can use ultra-sonic essential oil diffusers to fill the spaces we're in with healing aromas.
