Consecration of Holy Healing Oil

Elders of the Priesthood should remember to consecrate the Olive Oils ordered through the Temple Offices for the purpose of healing the sick, for unless a request is made by those ordering it, this will not be done automatically.

Latter-day Saints also mixed consecrated oil with other compounds for medical treatment […] Yet, even as healing practices incorporated secular approaches, the relationship between healing and the Temple appears to have strengthened once the Church got to Utah. While one could technically consecrate oil anywhere, starting in Nauvoo and continuing in Utah, the Temple was viewed as the preferred place to perform this act.

The question has been asked of us, though: Which is correct to say in consecrating oil, ‘for the healing of the sick’, or 'for the anointing of the sick’? Our questioner here enters technically into details which were better left entirely to the spirit of the occasion. There is no set form for 'consecrating oil’. The ordinance should be performed under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and such words should be used as are consistent with what is being asked for.

It should be remembered, however, that it is the prayer of faith that saves the sick, and the Lord who raises them up, not the oil- though we are commanded to anoint with oil, in the name of the Lord.

Keep the oil in a cool, dark place afterwards, as exposure to the light will in time, as well as age, make it rancid and unfit for its holy purpose.
