Aromatherapy or the use of aromatic oils for healing has been used for thousands of years throughout many cultures. In fact in ancient Greece Theophrastus was the first true aromatherapist to record the effects of various aromas on the health and wellness (thoughts, feeling and physical) of individuals. Then with the growth of trading and shipping these notions spread with the use of exotic spices, oils and blends from the East. In the West the term ‘aromatherapy’ was coined in the 1900’s by a French chemist who discovered the amazing healing benefits of lavender when he immersed his severely burnt hand into pure lavender essential oil. This discovery has shaped the love affair, which the West has continued to have with the natural medicine and taking a wholistic approach to health.
