Are Essential Oils on the fringe of Complementary Medicine?
Really the opposite is true. Essential oils have been in existence since the very first plant, tree, fruit, and shrub existed. This makes them the oldest form of herbal therapy. Ancient cultures used these oils and resins in a wide variety of ways. While essential oils are relatively new to America, countries such as Russia, England, France, India, and the Ukraine do not consider aromatherapy or the use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes new, unusual, or fringe. They consider it essential.
