History of Essential Oils
The science of aromatherapy and essential oils is as old as the beginning of time, although it was lost through the ages and has only begun to make its re-entry into the modern world during the last 50 years.
Ancient records indicate that natural elements were mankind's first medicine. Essential oils were used by Christ and biblical prophets such as Abraham and Moses as well as kings, priests, emperors and pharaohs from different cultures and times, to promote youthfulness, beauty and protection from disease and plagues. Science continues to validate the many powerful uses of essential oils, including their immune-supporting properties.
What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the liquids that are distilled from plants and their parts, like leaves, bark, roots, flowers, fruit, etc. The quality of the oils is highly dependent on the soil the plants grow in, climate, time of year and altitude.
Producing the highest quality oils can become very costly, because it may require from several hundred to several thousand pounds of plant material to extract one pound of oil. For example, one pound of Melissa oil sells for between $9000 to $15,000. This may sound expensive, but it takes 3 tons of plant material to produce that one pound of oil!
