Later, the Egyptians invented a fundamental distillation machine that
allowed for the crude extraction of cedar wood oil. Even in Greece, the
use of aromatherapy was widely practised in those days. Hippocrates, the
father of modern medicine, started its usage, as he used aromatherapy
baths and fragranced massage. He practiced fumigations for both aromatic
and medicinal benefit. The Roman Empire continued the knowledge of
aromatherapy, built upon the knowledge of the Egyptians and Greeks.
During the earlier part of the 20th century, a French chemist by the name of Rene-Maurice Gattefossé became involved in the use of essential oils for their therapeutic use. The other highly respected 20th century aromatherapists include Jean Valnet, Madam Marguerite Maury and Robert B. Tisserand. The modern era of aromatherapy dawned in 1930 when the French chemist Rene Maurice Gattefosse coined the term aromatherapy for the therapeutic use of essential oils.
From the late 20th century onwards into the 21st century, there is a growing resurgence to utilize more natural products including essential oils for therapeutic, cosmetic and aromatic benefit. The use of essential oils never ceased, but the scientific revolution minimized the popularity and use of essential oils in one`s everyday life. Today`s heightened awareness regarding the use of synthetics coupled with the increased availability of aromatherapy information within books and the Internet has refueled the use of essential oils for therapeutic, cosmetic, fragrant and spiritual use.
