ONTARIO, CA - Dr. Gary Arbino, Professor of Old Testament at the Gateway Seminary in southern California and world-renowned biblical archaeologist claims to have unearthed King David's essential oils collection, the scholar announced Thursday.

The 3,000-year-old repository of oils was preserved from decay in a cave recently discovered by roaming bedouin shepherds in the Judaean desert. This archaeological find, rivaling that of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1946, confirms claims that these oils originate from ancient religious rites and rituals.

At a press conference devoted to the discovery, Arbino noted that these oils will help scholars interpret the Scriptures in a new light: "Evidently these oils are much more essential than we initially believed - we now consider King David's statement 'You anoint my head with oil' in Psalm 23 to be a reference to doTERRA's CitrusBliss Invigorating Blend."

Others have been quick to add their support for Arbino's interpretation. "It makes perfect sense," one press conference attendee confirmed, "David was a tortured soul. He could have used more Serenity, and less Passion, if you know what I mean."

In related news, sales of essential oils have more than doubled since the announcement. According to one doTERRA representative, supply for doTERRA's Passion Inspiring Blend and Serenity Restful Blend will not soon match current demand.
