Essential Oils

The Ancient Origins of Essential Oils

Essential oils have played a vital role in healing since ancient times and are believed to be one of the earliest forms of both medicine and cosmetics. The Egyptians are thought to have developed the art of distilling essential oils from plants to capture their volatile aromatic compounds.

With their remarkable healing and aromatic properties, these precious oils were once considered more valuable than gold. Used widely across Egypt as early as 2000 BC, the practice of using essential oils gradually spread through China, India, and beyond — evolving into the modern form of aromatherapy we know and enjoy today.
