Essential Oils of the Ancient Scripture: Cassia

DID YOU KNOW?! There are tons of references to essential oils in the BIBLE. I am posting about a few on here so you can follow along! All of the oils I am posting with a Gold label are a part of the Young Living Ancient Oils of the Scripture Kit

CASSIA

Well it smells amazing in here today! I love the smell of cinnamon and cassia smells just like that except maybe even a bit sweeter! But while its aroma is similar to cinnamon, it is chemically and physically different! Cassia derived from Hebrew “quddah”, meaning “amber” or “quetsioth”, meaning “bark like cinnamon”. Greek work is “kasia” meaning trees that resemble acacias.

Scriptural references

Exodus 30:23,24,25

take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, and of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary and of oil olive a hin: and thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.”

Here are some modern uses for Cassia

• Personally, I prefer to diffuse Cassia along with Frankincense or Tangerine
• Cassia is a hot oil. Make sure you dilute it heavily!
• This oil truly smells DIVINE.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT OF CASSIA

According to the emotional patterns book, Cassia helps those who have feelings of being worthless and allows us to shine with our individual gifts!
