Mysty PfefferBiblical Use of Salt Free Spice Blends
The Lord spoke to Moses: “Take for yourself the finest spices: 12½ pounds of liquid myrrh, half as much (6¼ pounds) of fragrant cinnamon, 6¼ pounds of fragrant cane, 12½ pounds of cassia (by the sanctuary shekel), and one gallon[of olive oil.
Exodus 30:22-24
In ancient times, spices were not only used to flavor food but in anointing oils for the priests and burning incense to God. Many sources and books are written on the health benefits of spices. Spice benefits range from vexing tumor necrosis, decreasing inflammatory markers, to reducing oxidative stress in the body.
