There's actually an ancient blend called the holy anointing oil, and we read about this both in the Old Testament, like when King David is being anointed and Solomon is king, and it was a mixture of olive oil, and I'm going to get most of these always correct, cassia, cinnamon, calamus, and I want to say myrrh?

But they would anoint kings' heads with it.

But also in the book of James, it says, if you're sick, go to the elders of the church, have them lay their hands on you and pray for healing, have them anoint your head with oil, and you will be made well.

So this is probably one of the most clear things in the entire Bible in terms of if you're sick, this is what you should do to heal.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of coconut oil internally and as a carrier oil.

Yeah.

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah, I think coconut oil is great because it's saturated.

And I think that's more in line with what our skin is.

This is another reason why I actually think beef tallow is another great one.

For skin.

Yeah, I like it a lot because it's probably the most similar to the oils we actually have on our own skin because it comes from an animal.

Well, do I think it's trendy?

Yeah.

Yes, but I think what's old is new.

And let me say this.

I think it depends upon the person.

There are some people out there that are saying you should never have a seed oil and you should –

And beef tallow is the best healthy thing for everyone.

I don't think that.
