Aromatherapy, the history of aromatherapy begins over 3500 years BC. Aromatics were at the time for religious purposes, perfume, and medicine. The actual term “aromatherapy” was invented by the French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse in 1935 after a burn incident, he claimed he treated it effectively with lavender essential oil. Aromatherapy, in some form, has been practised for centuries, with contributions from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, India and China. Hippocrates in Classical Greece was notable for helping to spread knowledge about the beneficial effects of aromatic plants and herbs on health and wellness. The first use of essential oils is believed to go back to pre-historic times when they were used to create paintings on the walls of caves. Next to claim the use of essential oils were Egyptians as far back as 4500 BC Essential oil works in two ways: you absorb them through the skin into your body tissues, and they stimulate your sense of smell to set off a biological reaction in your body. Biological cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants, also known as herbal farming or herb cultivation, involves sustainable and organic farming of plants that are used for medicinal, culinary, or aromatic purposes. This type of cultivation is important for producing high-quality herbs and botanicals that can be used in traditional medicine, herbal remedies, essential oils, perfumes, culinary herbs, and more. It is an art and science which seeks to explore the physiological, psychological and spiritual realm of the individual’s response to aromatic extracts as well as to observe and enhance the individual’s innate healing process.
