Humans have used aromatherapy for several years. Old cultures in China, India, Egypt, and other parts of the world included aromatic plant components in resins, balms, and oils. These natural substances were used for medical and spiritual purposes. These were known to have both physical and mental benefits. Essential oils distillation is credited to the Persians in the 10th century, although practice might have been in use for a long time before this period.
