But on a serious note, aromatherapy dates back thousands of years from almost all cultures, from the early Egyptians who developed pots to distil essential oils from plants. They used these oils in their embalming processes, because of both their pleasant smell and their antibacterial properties.

The Chinese empire in traditional medicine and the Indian Ayurvedic practices, one notable example is chaulmoogra oil, which was a common pre-modern treatment for leprosy. It is also thought that these cultures were the first to use essential oils for mood enhancement.

Then most famously Hippocrates, who is considered the “father of medicine”, believed in holistic healing, and used aromatherapy massage in his treatments. This practice was passed on to the Romans, who also put a lot of stock in hygiene and fragrance as elements of personal health.
