HistoryofAromatheraphy?;The history of the use of aromatic oils on the body goes back at least 2,000 years before Christ। There are records in the bible of the use of plants and their oils, both in treatment of illness and for religious purpose. The Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks and Romans, who brought the idea to Great Britain, used them over the centuries. The earliest written record of their use in England was in the thirteenth century, and from that time a great increase was shown both in oils produced and treatments carried out. Glove makers used to perfume their gloves with essential oils to mask the body odour of the wearer, and it was known fact that people who used aromatic oils were the only ones to survive the plague which struck Europe during these centuries, due to the fact that the vast majority of essential oils have antiseptic properties The knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants was latter reinforced by Nicholas Culpeper, a celebrated herbalist who wrote a book of herbs in 1652, which contained the medicinal properties of hundreds of plants. The scientific study of the therapeutic properties of essential oils was commenced by the French cosmetic chemist, Renee Gattefosse, in the 1920's. He discovered through burning his arm while making fragrances in his laboratory, that the essential oil of lavender was exceptionally healing to the skin, and left no scarring. This discovery led him to undertake a great deal of research into the medicinal uses of essential oils, and his work revealed that it is possible for essential oils to penetrate the skin and be carried in the blood and lymphatic system to the organs. There was a period around 1950 when herbal medicine and aromatic remedies lost credibility due to modern medicine eg antibiotics, but by mid 1960's there was a growing awareness and concern about chemical pollution, the addition to synthetic drugs, their hazardous side effect, the body reduced immunity to the superbugs. So once more people were beginning to look for alternative Natural Remedies to find a cure. So the herbal renaissance finally begun, and stills continues to develop today.
