What is the deal with Essential Oils?

It seems like Essential Oils are the new best thing, but in fact they have been around since about 3,500 BC when the Ancient Egyptians used them for aromatherapy, religion and cosmetics. Essential Oils are “a non-oily and highly fragrant essence which is extracted from a plant by distillation, and which evaporates readily” (R. Tisserand Aromatherapy for Everyone, England, 1988 xiii) Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment which does not use toxic or violent remedies, and so the essential oils do not have unpleasant side-effects. It is a caring, hands-on therapy which seeks to induce relaxation, to increase energy, to reduce the effects of stress and to restore lost balance to mind, body and soul. (R.Tisserand, Aromatherapy for Everyone, England, 1988 1)
