Scent: Mastic, Storax, Mace and White Sandal

We use whats called fumigation today as a form of pest control.

So to has fumigation been used throughout history as a form of spiritual pest control during ritual(s), in the banishing (forcing out) of unwanted or undesirable forces within an

area. Breath mint, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, hygiene, can all be seen as forms of pest control.

An undesirable entity is seen as a form of negativity. You can ask. What I call a negative entity?

The main concept concerning the scent is not necessarily only that the smell drives away (or attracts) the spirit that's desired to leave but more like the vibration is higher than the

being can bear and causes a pain to the senses of the entity.

As a reflection in our physical nature, if you're placed in a sound proof room and then a very low pitch vibration was emitted throughout the room it would most likely not be a

problem for you to stay in the room, comfortably.

But if you're in the same room and a very high-pitched, shrill sound was emitted throughout the room you'd probably be forced to cover your ears because it would actually cause

you pain. You would need to block out the sound and you'd want to get the hell out of there, right now.

Of course the volume (amount) of the pitch would also be a factor as to whether could stand the sound without any pain or discomfort.

Another curious example is using a strong mouthwash. Does it cause you pain? When you put a disinfectant on an open sore does it hurt?

Why? What's being killed?

One of the basic principles that we deal with in this work is that an entity of a higher vibration can easily withstand the lower vibrations but an entity of a lower vibration cannot

easily withstand a higher vibration. That which is evident in the physical is a reflection of that which is actual in the spiritual.

You'll notice that all of the plants listed here are known not only for their aromatic qualities but also medicinal and bacterial properties as well.

Mastic: This is a form of shrub in the evergreen family. The Mastic grows as both a shrub and small tree and it grows all over the Mediterranean, Turkey, Israel, Syria, Morocco,

Iberia, France, Canary Island, Greek Island of Chios and has recently been introduced to Mexico also.

The resin that seeps from this plant, when the bark is scored (gouged) has been used for over 2000 years as a chewing gum, probably the oldest known gum that's been used to

freshen the breath. The resin's used as incense that's placed on coal and has also been long used as a disinfectant in cleaning the home.

It's oil and properties have an effective antibacterial element that's long been used by many cultures for cleaning and even used in medicine for rashes and the easing of

gastrointestinal relief. It's said that only the trees that grow on the southern end of Chios (Greece) weep resin from their wounds. 

This resin's collected and sundried and then used for a variety of reasons from incense, deodorant, perfume and gum.

It's been added to mouthwashes and toothpastes for many years in many cultures.

Storax: This is another pleasant smelling sweet gum resin that's been used in perfumes for centuries.

Mentioned in the book of Exodus as a sacred herb and was apparently steeped in alcohol to create an effective disinfectant, as well.  

Storax has a vanilla like odor with various uses similar to mastic and has been traded in the Middle East for centuries for use in incense, deodorants and perfumes.

There are several types of storax and was eventually used for the invention and creation of styrene plastics in the 1800's. 

Most storax is taken from beneath the bark of several species of trees and shrubs and has been used medicinally to clear the sinuses and was also boiled to help alleviate bronchial

problems.

Mace: This spice is ground from the nutmeg by taking the inner hull from around the fruit of the nutmeg and grinding it into a powder.

It's an aromatic spice long used in food preparation. Aside from its agreeable taste it's also been acclaimed as an herb that relieves intestinal and stomach pains for centuries.

It's, however, not advisable to be used in large quantities.

White Sandal: This name white sandal would be better named as white sandalwood. 

These trees are known for the aromatic and hygienic oils that are extracted from the bark of these trees.

The oils are extracted by pressing the bark in water or alcohol and are known to carry effective disinfectant and curing qualities when inhaled through the boiling of the oils in the

bark.  As mentioned in all of the above named plants it carries a pleasant aroma but it's not used to cure stomach or intestinal pains and it's not advisable to ingest it through eating it

or drinking its oils. Throughout history it's mentioned, as being used for the complexion.

Applied to the skin for the cleaning and reduction of blackhead and acne that occur upon the skin.

It's expensive and there are still governments that regulate its growth and harvesting around the world to regulate its commerce.
