Aromatherapy dates back thousands of years, with its origins in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, China, and Greece. The practice began with the use of essential oils and plant extracts for medicinal, spiritual, and cosmetic purposes. Egyptians, for example, utilized oils like frankincense and myrrh for religious ceremonies and embalming. The Greek physician Hippocrates also recognized the therapeutic benefits of aromatic plants, and the use of essential oils expanded in ancient cultures for healing and wellness. Over time, this practice evolved into the modern form of aromatherapy we recognize today, blending traditional knowledge with contemporary techniques.
