Aromatic plants, essences and oils have been used for ages in a ceremony, religious observances, beauty care, food preparation and preservation, asincense, and for perfumes. Aromatic plants have also been the basis for herbal and botanical medicines and remedies for thousands of years. In fact, they’re the root of today’s pharmaceuticals.

The earliest essential oils usage evidence occurs in the period of 3000-2500 B.C.

Essential oils have been a core element of the Indian Ayurvedic Healthcare System; a natural healing system blending spiritual, philosophical and practical elements. Ayurveda has been practised for at least 5000 years and is widely practised in India today. A principal tenant is an aromatic massage. Ayurvedic literature from 2000 BC records Indian doctors administering oils of cinnamon, ginger, myrrh, coriander, spikenard and sandalwood to their patients.
