An Ancient Art of Aromatherapy
The value of natural plants and oils has been recognized for more than 6000 years. Their healing, cleansing, preservative, and mood enhancing properties are well known around the world. The origins of aromatherapy can be traced through the religious, medical and social practices of all the major civilizations. It is likely that the Chinese were the first to discover the remarkable medicinal power of plants around 4500 B.C., however, it is the Egyptians who must take the credit for recognizing and utilizing the physical and spiritual properties of aromatic essences.
Today these wonderful natural resources are being rediscovered, as we look at the wisdom of past eras and civilizations. The balance in our lives that has been lost is being restored with these pleasurable, sensuous fragrances. A harmony of body and mind is achieved as the pure essences of aromatic plants, flowers and resins work on the powerful senses of smell and touch.
These oils are very different from the heavy oils we use for cooking. They are concentrated essences much lighter than water and highly flammable. They evaporate quickly so they are usually mixed with other ingredients to trap their effectiveness. Due to their high concentration, aromatherapy oils are measured in drops.
