Essential Oils

Essential oils have played a role in healing since ancient times and are said to be the oldest form of both medicine and cosmetics. The Egyptians are believed to have developed the art of distilling essential oils from plants in order to obtain the volatile aroma compounds and, with their healing and aromatic properties, the precious oils were considered more valuable than gold. Used widely across Egypt since 2000 BC, the use of essential oils spread through China and India…and beyond, leading to the modern form of aromatherapy we are all familiar with today
