Aromatherapy is part of holistic healing that dates back thousands of years, involving the treatment with plants. Humanity has always strived to obtain pleasant and beautiful scents, which were offered to the gods and used by rulers and emperors. Aromatherapy, rooted in ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Greek civilizations, began to take its current form since the 10th century. The modern method of aromatherapy is popularized by the French chemist Gattefosse, who discovered the healing effect of lavender oil on burns after a laboratory accident.
Initially used for beauty and fragrance purposes, aromatherapy is now utilized in therapeutic massage oils, cosmetics, medicine, food, and textile products. Essential oils are obtained from the roots, stems, flowers, barks, and resins of plants through methods like distillation. With the industrialization in the 20th century, chemists began to discover aldehydes, leading to the prevalence of synthetic products in the fragrance industry.
Aromatherapy offers natural solutions to the stress and challenges of modern life by balancing mental, physical, and spiritual health. As a preventive treatment and therapy, it has gained popularity with the movement towards nature. As Hippocrates said, the key to staying healthy is to take aromatic baths and massage with fragrant oils daily. Essential oils such as rose, thyme, lavender, ylang-ylang, and more are widely used for stress, emotional disorders, digestive and skin diseases. These oils are typically diluted with a carrier oil and applied through massage, added to bath water, or inhaled for their therapeutic effects.
