A Brief history of Aromatic Medicine and Aromatherapy
Where
does Aromatherapy come from?
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils to relieve
nervous stress, enhance well being, and promote health and vitality.
Essential oils have been used in perfumery, food flavoring and
medicine for about a thousand years. Long before they were first
distilled in Persia, the Ancient Egyptians produced scented oils
from frankincense, cedarwood and other plants - utilized by priests
and perfumers alike.
However the word "Aromatherapie" was coined as recently
as 1928 - by French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse.
Aromatherapy gained popularity in the UK as beauty treatment, however
increasing recognition of its therapeutic potential by orthodox
health care professionals has made it one of our fastest growing
complementary therapies.
