What Are Essential Oils?

People have been using plants and Organic Essential Oils for centuries, nay, even millennia. Frankincense was all the rage back in Egyptian times. It was extensively used in embalming practices and was a favourite household remedy when it came to common afflictions such as ulcers, hypertension, nausea, fever, indigestion and so on. Alongside Myrrh you were a guaranteed hit at the party if you brought the pair as gifts. Mind you it would have cost you a few weeks’ wages back then given the control of supply and lack of trade routes. It wouldn’t be as fresh, convenient and affordable.

Aromatic Use

By using Essential Oils we are simply remembering what many people and cultures have been doing for thousands of years.
