Sacred Oils

The whole history of mankind is literally saturated with oils through and through. The school of aromatherapy was born already oldest in the 9th century in Moorish Spain. But references to the use of essential oils are found much earlier: the ancient Romans, Chinese, Egyptians even before our era took specially prepared baths and enjoyed the fragrance of herbs and flowers.

Aromatherapy is recognized as an alternative medicine. Smells have been treated for a long time. Oils were also used to heal wounds, burns, and various diseases. And in the last century, they were considered as a replacement for antibiotics.

Essential oils easily affect the emotional sphere. This is a barely noticeable process, almost imperceptible, but effective. Fragrances help us to regulate mood, memory, wakefulness, relaxation and also influence others. For example, to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
