Easter Blessings with Spiritual Oils
Essential oils have traditionally been used for thousands of years, with cultures such as the Ancient Egyptians, Persians, Romans, and Israelites all documenting their use of oils, and with references to essential oils found within the Bible itself. In some countries, Easter acts as a deeply spiritual event for millions of people, so why not contribute towards your practices this Easter with the help of Young Living essential oils?
Whether introduced individually during prayer or combined for use across the home to raise your spiritual awareness, products such as our Oils of Ancient Scripture Set, which features 10 oils from the most significant plants, botanicals, materials, and resins in the Bible, are sure to enhance your Easter experience. From Cassia, which historically featured as a key ingredient in temple incense to widely recognisable oils such as Frankincense and Myrrh, we highly recommend introducing these oils into your spring celebrations for a real Easter blessing.

Healthy Easter Rocky Road Recipe
Ingredients
- 200 g pitted dates
- 70 g raw cacao powder
- 350 ml melted coconut oil
- pinch of sea salt (optional)
- 2 – 6 drops Orange+ or Tangerine+ essential oil (to taste)

Method
- Place the dates in a medium glass bowl, pour boiling water over them, and let them sit for approximately 5 minutes to soften them. After they are softened, drain them and place them into a food processor with the melted coconut oil, cacao powder, sea salt and Orange+ or Tangerine+ oil.
- Blend on high until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Then, taste and add more Orange+ or Tangerine+ oil if desired.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the chopped nuts, marshmallows, and chocolate chips before mixing well by hand. Then, spread the mixture out into a lined baking tray or lined glass container.
- Place the tray in the fridge to cool and set. When the Rocky Road has set, gently cut it into chunks and serve immediately or cover and store for up to a week in the fridge.
