CAN I MIX MY ANOINTING OIL WITH BLESSED HEALING OIL OF PRIEST

In religious traditions such as Catholicism, the answer depends on whether you are using the oil as a sacrament or a sacramental. 


Key Considerations for Mixing


Validity of Sacrament: If a priest is administering the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, he must use specifically blessed oils (Oil of the Sick) and follow liturgical norms. Mixing in unblessed personal oils is generally avoided to ensure the validity and reverence of the rite.

Personal Devotional Use (Sacramental): For personal, non-sacramental use, the Church allows laypeople to use blessed oil for healing and protection.

Dilution Principle: Some theological opinions suggest that if you add unblessed oil to blessed oil, the original blessed oil should remain the majority (at least more than half) for it to maintain its character.

Efficacy: The power of the oil is viewed as coming from God through faith and the blessing, rather than the physical substance itself. 


Distinguishing the Oils


Sacramental Oils: These are the three holy oils (Chrism, Catechumens, and Sick) blessed by a Bishop during Holy Week and reserved for official church sacraments.

Blessed Oil (Sacramental): This is typically ordinary oil (like olive oil) that a priest has blessed for general devotional use by the faithful. 

Recommendation: If you have a specific bottle of "Blessed Healing Oil" from a priest, it is best to use it as-is to respect the blessing. If you are running low, you can ask a priest to bless a new bottle of oil for you.
