Hiya Woobey Woman,

 

YL BS put aside - I think a lot of folks get confused. The fact that aromatic

plant materials have been used for thousands of years gets confused with the

idea of " aromatherapy " having been used for thousands of years ... Also, I think

some folks really promote the evidence that some ancient primative stills in the

middle/near east region of the world existed as an implication that EO's were

widespread and the norm rather than a rarity if they existed (in the form that

we know them today) at all.

 

I wrote a paper some time ago about the use of aromatic plants and oils

throughout history - particularly focusing on their use for spiritual purposes.

Well, after much research I made it clear in my paper that the aromatic

substances used back then were most likely not the same things we know today as

EO's, they were more akin to infused oils and other such preparations.
