Interesting discussion
I had a very interesting discussion with Sunette Kotze, registered dietitian, about the way forward, better known as ‘life after lockdown’.
I thought that building my immune system will be the most important factor for strengthening myself against the coronavirus. According to Sunette, supporting your respiratory system is actually more important. Why?
Although a strong immune system is of utmost importance, Sunette explained that the virus causes the immune system to go ‘haywire’ and can attack itself (your body). The respiratory system (specifically our lungs) therefore needs to be strong, and essential oils like Eucalyptus has shown itself effective in this regard.
I did some research, not only by exploring the internet for scientific information on respiratory-strengthening essential oils BUT also for oils mentioned in Scripture with the intrinsic meaning of supporting our breathing.
So, we created the Mask blend for breathing support with wonderful therapeutic value, connected to prophetic truth!
This blend consists thus of the following oils: Hyssop, Frankincense, Myrrh, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lavender.
A nugget of Biblical Truth:
Hyssop branches were used to help people with breathing problems.
Joh 19:29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth.
“Death by crucifixion is death by slow suffocation. As the victim gradually tires they can no longer lift themselves to breathe. As their lungs slowly fill up with fluid, they die an agonizing death. The sent of hyssop has long been known for its ability to bring respiratory relief. In this case, perhaps hyssop was brought by the Jerusalem ladies of mercy as an aromatic to help the crucified breathe a little easier.” Stewart, D. Dr. Healing oils of the Bible p210
As you inhale the fragrance of hyssop (as part of this blend) be reminded of the price Jesus paid for your health, breathe deeply, and feel His truth, freeing you from all anxiety.
Now, have a look at the wonderful therapeutic benefits of the oils with special relevance to respiratory support:
