How Sankofa Wisdom Oils Came To Be

You may be wondering how a little bit of oil can help keep you feeling healthy. Let me share with you my story and you decide for yourself if you want to see what this small dark-colored bottle full of oil can do for you.

Some of my health conditions are fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and lymphedema. I have had these conditions for more than 10 years. Due to these conditions, I am prescribed medications that make my colon less spastic. One day, I was praying because I don't like taking anything that aggravates something else. I asked God to bless me with something I could do to help my pain that did not involve more prescribed pills and that I could take fewer pills than I was taking.

I love to research different topics and learn from them, and I am pro-self-care. I have been a nurse for 29 years, but I do not leave my life 100% up to the doctors. I know the LORD is a miracle worker, so I prayed, "Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak; O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed." Psalm 6:2. I also knew that if anyone could give me help for a condition that providers know very little about and there is no known cure, it is God.

I had been researching essential oils at the urging of the Holy Spirit. Later, a friend of mine mentioned to me the fact that spikenard, which is an essential oil was used by Mary on Jesus' feet. "It was that Mary which anointed the LORD with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair..." John 11:2 KJV. So, I spent several hours researching the healing properties of the oils God gave me as a recipe for my pain.

The main ingredients for my pain oil are frankincense, lavender, vetiver, spikenard, and rose. If essential oils have been around all these centuries, then there must be something powerful to them.

I ordered the oils and made the first batch. I couldn't wait to try them as I knew that anything coming from God would be good. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 KJV

I used the oil on my back, hips, and hands by massaging it in for about 45 seconds. To my surprise, I felt as though my pain had instantly numbed! All I could do was start praising and thanking God! I immediately tried it on my mother, who also suffers from chronic pain, congestive heart failure, and lymphedema. God had done it again, and my mother also felt relief! We began to use the oil everywhere that we experienced any pain. My mother's feet and ankles have been swollen for years, like loaves of bread. After 24 hours of using the oils, we noticed wrinkles on her feet where the skin had been taut. In three days, I could feel the bones on her feet. This was an unexpected benefit!

I later learned from a book by a reputable doctor and aromatherapist that the exact dosing recipe God had given me is the approximate equivalency of 4% dilution and is generally used for chronic conditions like aches and pains per Dr. Eric Zielinski, D.C.(Natural Living Family)

Consequently, I have been able to prolong the period between taking doses of narcotic pain meds.

I am not a doctor, I do not claim to cure anyone or anything, but I do live by following God's words and His directions. Please always follow your health professional's advice.
