Personal Use

Choosing an anointing oil for personal use can depend on various factors. Do you prefer a floral scent like Lily of the Valley or Rose of Sharon, or are you drawn more towards earthy tones such as Frankincense and Myrrh? Maybe you're interested in an anointing oil for skincare benefits. Certain biblical botanicals are known for their moisturizing properties, while others might have rejuvenating or calming effects. Paying attention to the biblical botanicals used in our oils will help you make the right choice for your personal needs.

Religious Context

In a religious context, the choice of anointing oil often corresponds to specific traditions or ceremonies. Spikenard, for instance, is a biblical botanical associated with humility and devotion, while Hyssop symbolizes purification and cleansing. If you're choosing an oil for religious use, it's important to understand the requirements of your particular tradition. At Mount of Olives, we honor these sacred traditions by providing a range of anointing oils that cater to diverse religious practices.
