Aromatic oils have a long, rich history and were highly valued in ancient cultures in the Far and Middle East, including Egypt, China and India. Over two thousand years ago the Greek physician Theophrastus wrote a study on scent and its healing effects entitled Concerning Odors. In this he laid the early groundwork for some of our current understandings of aromatherapy. He described the effects of different flower essences and noted that an aromatic plant poultice applied to a leg could produce fragrant breath - its essences could permeate the skin and enter the circulatory system.

The oils are found in minute glands of plants:in leaves (basil), flowers (rose), fruit (lemon), seed (coriander), wood (sandalwood), resin (frankincense), bark (cinnamon) and roots (ginger). Today essential oils have an enormous range of uses, in food, cosmetics and medicine. Most research is into their remarkable healing potential.

For the past few centuries, the world's essential oil industry has been centered in Grasse, Southern France. With the sixteenth-century fashion of scented gloves local glovers were licensed to scent their own leather and sell perfumes, and their use of lavender oil appears to have rendered them immune to an outbreak of cholera. The revival of essential oils in the West was instigated by a French chemist, Professor René-Maurice Gattefosse, who originated the term 'aromatherapy'. Madame Maury, a biochemist and student of Gattefosse, recognized the potential of plant essences for skin care and developed the massage techniques and formulae now usually associated with aromatherapy.
