Essential oils have long been considered mankind’s first ‘medicine.’ Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts from thousands of years ago note the use of essential oils. Interestingly, Egyptian queens would wear a cone of lard with flowers pressed into it. When the heat would melt the lard cone, the aroma of the flowers would be left on the skin. Well-preserved oils (used in the embalming process) were also found in alabaster jars in King Tut’s tomb. And within the Bible, there are at least 188 essential oils referenced that were often used for anointing and healing those who were sick.
