How to Make Scented Anointing Oil
Anointing oil is applied to people who are praying for healing or miracles. Door frames and windows of homes have oils applied to them to repel unwanted spiritual guests. Before being used for religious purposes, the oil is prayed over and the proper scents added to the oil mixture. You can customize scents to make whatever fragrance you like, but for a more traditional oil, use myrrh, cedar wood and frankincense as your scent components.
