Essential Oils History & Lore

Wonderful World of Essential Oils and their Benefits

The History of Essential Oils - Natures Gift To You!

Did you know that hundreds of years before "Modern Medicine", essential oils were the number one choice for our ancestors' medicine cabinet?

Since the earliest ages of humanity, aromatics have been used in daily health rituals. In a very real sense, the origins of aromatherapy can be traced back to the origins of humanity. Since their origins, aromatic rituals have always involved fumigations and the burning of aromatic herbs, flowers, leaves and woods. Rituals were used mostly in healing ceremonies. By burning aromatic substances, essential oils were diffused into the air, having an antiseptic effect and brought about physical healing. At the same time, the fragrance acted on a subtle level for psychic and spiritual healing. Our ancestors were pretty smart after all!
