The Real Science Behind the Healing Plants Mentioned in the Bible
Some of these plants were once worth more than gold. It turns out modern science is now uncovering their ancient secrets.
One trip changed my life.
And I believe it planted the seeds that will change the lives of millions of Americans.
See, I'm a chiropractor. I've been in the health and wellness field for twenty-five years. I've formulated supplements, developed patented technologies used in thousands of doctors' offices worldwide, and testified before Congress and the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
I can't say I was a Biblical scholar, but certainly I was familiar with the Gospels and some other parts of the Bible. But when I traveled to Israel, the experience, in part, was very much how my tour guide asserted: "When you're here, the Bible goes from black and white to technicolor."
My wife Laurie and I, along with our business partner Jeff, took a film crew to Israel to make a documentary series called Christ Revealed. We spent that trip interviewing experts, examining the evidence, walking through ancient sites, seeing where history actually unfolded.
Somewhere in the middle of it, reading the same texts I had always read, I started noticing how plants were mentioned.
They were referenced specifically. They're named repeatedly, across books written centuries apart, and always in contexts that make plain they were among the most valuable things a human being could own. Measured out in shekels. Carried as gifts to a king. Tithed on.
Could it be that ancient texts contain profound knowledge about health and healing… knowledge that modern science is now validating?
So I dove into the research. And what I found left me stunned.
Ancient wisdom.
Modern investigation.
Eight plants. Named across six books of Scripture and the traditions that grew up around them. Nearly every one has since been put in front of modern clinical research.
Exodus 30:23
Cinnamon
Mentioned in Exodus as part of the holy anointing oil. It was once considered more precious than gold.
Cinnamon contains powerful compounds called polyphenols that help support healthy insulin sensitivity. A comprehensive 2023 meta-analysis concluded cinnamon can be used as an add-on to support healthy glycemic balance. Multiple clinical studies have backed up its efficacy.
Song of Solomon 4:14
Turmeric
Named in Song of Solomon among the finest spices, alongside saffron, calamus, cinnamon, myrrh, and aloes.
One of the most researched herbs on the planet, with thousands of published papers. Its compound curcumin has been shown in clinical trials to help reduce key inflammatory markers, and a meta-analysis of 15 high-quality studies revealed consistent reductions.
Matthew 2:11
Frankincense
One of the most precious substances in the ancient world, at times valued more highly than gold—and used beyond ceremonial contexts.
Frankincense contains boswellic acids that provide cellular support and help manage inflammatory responses, backed up by clinical trials and laboratory studies.
Esther 2:12
Myrrh
Another precious biblical resin, used throughout ancient history for its healing properties.
Myrrh shows powerful antioxidant activity, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals that can damage cells and disrupt metabolic function.
Psalm 51:7
Hyssop
An aromatic plant from the mint family, used in ancient purification rituals.
Recent studies show hyssop supports muscle relaxation activity and may help promote healthy circulation.
Ancient botanical tradition
Star Anise
Known as a valuable herb in ancient times.
Known for antimicrobial and digestive support. It's rich in iron, and studies suggest it can support natural immunity and mood balance. Research indicates significant antiviral, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Also known as Tulsi
Holy Basil
Respected traditionally as a sacred plant.
Studies showed a robust reduction in overall stress scores and improvements in sleep quality.
Ancient herbal tradition
Milk Thistle
Revered in ancient traditions and legends.
Milk thistle is known for supporting liver function and detoxification, along with serving as a powerful antioxidant.

So We Decided to Make Wisdom
I could have written an article and stopped there.
But I kept coming back to the same thing: eight ingredients from ancient wisdom with so much healing potential. And nobody had put them all together.
They existed separately, of course. You can buy cinnamon. You can buy turmeric at any pharmacy in America. But nobody had assembled all eight.
So we decided to do it. We called our blend Wisdom.
And while I knew there was nothing like it on the market, there was one factor I hadn't accounted for.
Quality is paramount.

The process is part of the formula.
Every study I just cited used ingredients that had been prepared properly. That's how these ingredients can be most effective.
Unfortunately, a great deal of what you'll find in most supplements is not anywhere close to the same quality.
Most supplement manufacturing uses high heat and chemical solvents, because that's fast and cheap. But that's also what destroys the fragile compounds you were paying for in the first place. The polyphenols. The boswellic acids. The volatile oils.
So we resolved to not just mix these eight ingredients… but to manufacture them in a painstaking way that preserves their maximum potency.
not hours.
Our cold-water extraction uses no high heat and no chemical solvents. It takes about ten times longer than a conventional process.
- Cold extracted
- Processed in glass vessels
- Slow filtered
- Hand inspected
“Excellent tasting blend of frankincense, turmeric, and myrrh supplements when you want to stay focused and feel full of energy… I took it for a good night's sleep and stomach digestion.”
— Rodney Smith ★★★★★
That's what intact tastes like.
When I first tasted the eight freshly extracted, right off the press, I could taste each individual herb.
The cinnamon. The star anise. The turmeric. The hyssop, the frankincense, the myrrh, the milk thistle, the holy basil.
Layer after layer of it. You don't get that from something that's been cooked.
“I love Wisdom's Bible Based Herbal Blend. The Bible talks about these herbs and how good they are for us. I am on my second bottle and will stay on it for good health.”
— DeeDee ★★★★★
A daily ritual made with unusual care.
Here's where I landed, and it took a trip across the world to get there.
If these plants were provided for us, if they were named plainly, recorded carefully, carried across centuries by people who thought them worth more than gold… then how we treat them says something.
You don't boil something you believe was given to you.
That's the whole reason we take ten times longer than we have to. Not as a manufacturing preference. As an answer to a question I hadn't thought to ask until I was standing in Israel.
And I'm not going to ask you to take my word for any of it. Not the research. Not the process. Not the taste.
Take it every morning and pay attention to how you feel. If you aren't thrilled, return one opened bottle and any remaining unopened bottles for a refund under our guarantee terms.
I told you at the start that one trip changed my life.
I hope that, through Wisdom, it changes yours as well.
One simple daily ritual.
Each full-size bottle contains 2 fl oz (59.2 mL).
