How To Make Your Own Anointing Oil At Home: What are the 5 Ingredients in Anointing Oil
Below are the five ingredients you will need to make your own anointing oil at home along with the biblical scripture reference.
4 of your ingredients will be essential oils, and you want to make sure to use a reputable company. Check out my doTERRA essential oils review, and why I’ve used them for the past 4 years. Check it out here.
- Myrrh essential oil
- 24 drops of myrrh oil
- Cinnamon essential oil
- 12 drops of cinnamon oil
- You can substitute the oil for actual cinnamon sticks that will be left in the oil mixture.
- Fragrant cane/ Calamus oil
- 12 drops
- This is not easy to find
- Can be substituted with the following: frankincense oil, lemongrass, CBD, or clove essential oil. I used clove for mine
- Cassia essential oil
- 24 drops of cassia essential oil
- Not to be confused with cinnamon oil
- Olive oil
- 4-8 ounces (depending on how much you want to make)
- Use organic cold-pressed extra virgin!
- This will be your carrier oil
*You will also need a glass jar, vile, or bottle with a top to keep your anointing oil recipe in. Below is a picture of the one I used for mine.
These ingredients come from Exodus 30:22-24. A recipe given to Moses straight from God. Read more in detail here.
Anointing Oil Biblical Reference
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, 23 “Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels[a] of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels[b] of fragrant calamus, 24 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin[c] of olive oil. 25 Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil

To be clear the recipe found in the bible above was designed to make A LOT of anointing oil, probably for hundreds of people.
For instance, 500 shekels of myrrh equals 12 pounds, 250 shekels of cinnamon equals 6 pounds, 250 shekels of calamus equals 6 pounds, 500 shekels of cassia equals 12 pounds, and a hin of olive oil equals 1.72 gallons.
Because you will be making you in smaller doses, the amount of ingredients needed has been decreased to fit our needs in today’s time.
Also, fragrant calamus is not an easy oil to come by, some studies argue that it’s a form of cannabis (read more here).
Because of this, you can substitute the calamus oil for clove oil, frankincense, CBD oil, or lemongrass. I personally used whole cloves for my holy anointing oil.
Prayer To Consecrate Anointing Oil (Anointing Oil Prayer)
Heavenly father by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of his blood, I consecrate, dedicate, and set apart this special oil for anointing and healing anyone for anything at any time for any Christian purposes according to your will. I do this in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Lord, send the anointing power of the Holy Spirit to consecrate and bless this oil as holy anointing oil, so that it may be effective in its use.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
How To Use Your Holy Oil At Home
When using your anointing oil at home it is important to remember that the power is not in the oil but in the faith behind your prayers and ultimately your faith in the blood of Jesus.
Jesus tells us in John 14:12, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father”.
We also see that in Luke 10:19, that Jesus has given us the authority over all the power of the enemy. Yes, you are more powerful than Satan!
19 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and overall the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
When you are anointing yourself or someone with your holy oil, remember these two truths and operate in the power that you hold.
Without faith, this is simply a nice glass bottle filled with olive oil and warm fragrances.
On the other hand, with faith, this becomes a powerful tool for healing and anointing.

This is very simple, when anointing yourself or someone else with anointing oil you want to do the following:
- Use your right hand (read more about the biblical significance of the right hand)
- Get the holy oil and apply a cross on the forehead (directly on the skin)
- Repeat, I anoint you in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit (all three in one).
- Proceed with your blessing or prayer
- End your blessing or prayer with the words, “in the name of Jesus”!
You can anoint other things besides a person with anointing oil, but it should not be used for ANY OTHER USE than for godly consecration of something or someone, healing, and anointing for Christian purposes.
For instance, I anointed my home when we first moved in and I repeat this blessing here and there for maintenance deliverance.
