Using God's Medicine for the Abundant Life: An Evidence-Based Approach to Essential Oils
""And the leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations." Revelation 22:2" Essential oils are God's Medicine, it's as simple as that! It's not that we need science to validate what God has set in motion before time began, but it's nice to have some research to support what folk medicine has practiced with great success for over 3,500 years. Scientists are just now tapping into how powerful essential oils are to cure all types of diseases and to help people live the Abundant Life. This book was designed to help you sift through all this data and to provide you with practical uses that can easily be implemented today. Essentially, this book is an anthology, and it is advised that you don't read it cover to cover. Take in each chapter as your interest and need dictates; embrace the journey. George Bernard Shaw once said, ""Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." "Essential oils are a wonderful way to take charge of your own health, and determine in your heart to learn more about natural solutions and remedies to everyday problems. Let's encourage one another to never settle and always strive to learn more about how to best honor our bodies as the temples of the Holy Spirit. We're all on this journey together!

Using God’s Medicine for the Abundant Life: An Evidence-Based Approach to Essential Oils by Dr. Eric L. Zielinski (2016), 122 pages.
This is a very basic introduction to a few of the more common essential oils, written in large print. He barely touches on the history. He did, at least, say what the oils were mainly used for and backed that up with good references, providing the latest research online as of the printing of this book (2016), mostly from pubmed websites, a very reliable source. But, he fell short on how to actually use the oils, nothing really specific.
I was a bit turned off by the many typing errors throughout, which made it seem less professional. He’s a doctor. He should have had it proof-read. Unfortunately, this book will go into the Goodwill pile.
Still, you can always learn a thing or two, a new way to use an oil. For example, take Eucalyptus. I would have never thought to sprinkle a few drops on the AC filter so the scent drifts throughout your house, giving it a fresh scent. Gonna try it!
If you are looking for a truly Biblically-based history and proper use of essential oils, along with prayer and referenced Bible verses, I highly recommend Healing Oils of the Bible by David Stewart (2003).
Other books:
The Healing Power of Essential Oils (2018), 320 pages.

Book is very informative as far as how to use the oils and scientific proof to back up any statements made.

This is an excellent book that was written by a Doctor. If you are just getting started in using Essential Oils for health and well being or a natural alternative to mainstream, this provides a great guide. The book takes you through how to safely use essential oils for a variety of wellness applications. As I delve more into essential oils, this book serves as a handy reference guide to have on hand.
