Discovery Health Aromatherapy – Exposing the Truth for Christians
Aromatherapy is often presented as a harmless health remedy. From calming lavender sprays to energizing peppermint oils, it’s praised for reducing stress, improving sleep, and balancing emotions. But beneath the fragrant surface lies a deeper spiritual concern that discerning Christians must not ignore.
According to a promotional excerpt for aromatherapy:
"Aromatherapists, practitioners of alternative medicine, and anyone wishing to use aromatherapy to maintain a peaceful equilibrium or bring about positive change... concentrate on the mood-changing effects of natural oils."
It sounds peaceful, even holistic. But how does this practice align with Scripture and Christian discernment?
🔎 Ancient Roots with Occult Overtones
Aromatherapy dates back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used scented oils for embalming the dead, while the distillation process we use today originated with the Arab physician Avicenna. The Knights Templar later brought it into Europe—groups long associated with mysticism and esoteric knowledge.
Many today describe aromatherapy as “the use of essential oils for therapeutic effects on the body, mind, and spirit.” This spiritual focus is not incidental. Essential oils are often used in rituals, energy healing, meditation, and mood-altering practices—closely tied to New Age and occult worldviews.
The company Ancient Healing Art promotes its oils as tools for:
-
Emotional and hormonal balance
-
Calmness and stress relief
-
Rejuvenation
-
“Inner guidance” and more
This language mirrors practices like Reiki, chakra balancing, and divination, all of which open the door to deceptive spiritual forces masquerading as light (2 Corinthians 11:14).
🙅♀️ Misuse of Scripture and the Anointing Oil
Some Christians justify the use of essential oils by pointing to biblical anointing. Yes, the Bible mentions oils and perfumes, but context matters.
James 5:14-15 (KJV) provides clear instruction:
“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up...”
The emphasis is on prayer and faith, not on the oil itself. The healing comes from the Lord, not from the oil's chemical or mystical properties. Anointing oil was symbolic of the Holy Spirit, not a therapeutic solution sourced from New Age blending.
Sadly, many believers today use essential oils with intentions rooted in self-healing, emotional manipulation, or energy control, unknowingly engaging in disobedience and spiritual risk.
⚠️ Dowsing and Pendulum Use: The Occult Connection
Aromatherapy often intertwines with dowsing—a form of divination used to “intuitively” choose the correct oil or dosage. Dowsing uses a pendulum, which swings in response to yes/no questions asked mentally or aloud. Practitioners claim the pendulum reveals hidden knowledge or inner guidance.
"Ask the pendulum, 'What is the direction for yes?' and 'What is the direction for no?' Then, use it to answer questions—sometimes even determining a baby's gender."
This is pure divination, condemned by God.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (KJV) clearly warns:
“There shall not be found among you...a diviner...or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.”
When I was 19, an older Christian woman recommended pendulum dowsing to determine a baby’s gender. She didn’t even realize she was drawing from occultism. It breaks my heart to see believers deceived, because this practice opens demonic portals under the guise of “intuition” or “inner peace.”
✝️ Rooted in Christ, Not Scents or Energy
As Christians, we are to be rooted and built up in Jesus Christ, not alternative therapies.
Colossians 2:7 (KJV) says:
“Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.”
Aromatherapy may smell good—but is it spiritually good? If its foundation is built on manipulation of moods, mystical healing, and tools of divination, it’s a slippery slope away from the true Healer—Jesus Christ.
We must not trade biblical faith for sensual, soulish experiences. The Holy Spirit does not need aromatic assistance. True peace comes from surrendering to Christ, not from an oil blend promising “inner balance.”
🚨 Final Warning and Call to Discernment
Dear believer, test the spirits (1 John 4:1). Just because something is marketed as “natural” or “healing” doesn’t mean it’s of God. Aromatherapy, when tied to spiritual healing or used with divination tools like pendulums, becomes a gateway to demonic influence.
👉 Repent for any ungodly use of oils or occult tools.
👉 Anoint only as the Bible commands, under submission to Christ.
👉 Seek healing through prayer, Scripture, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
