Did you know that the Egyptians were the first people to make extensive use of aromatherapy and herbs and included their use in religion, cosmetics as well as medicinal purposes, and that the use of essential oils date back to 3500BC?
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant components and it can take a huge amount of a plant to get out even a small portion of essential oil. This is why some essential oils are particularly expensive.
Essential oils are used extensively in aromatherapy and can have a healing effect mentally, physically and emotionally. You can apply them directly on your skin, inhale them or use them with a diffuser. Never apply most oils directly to your skin, as their high concentration can cause a reaction or irritation. Instead, essential oils should be diluted with water or carrier oil like almond oil.
