HISTORY "FROM GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

In November 333 BC , near Cilicia in Southeast Turkey, Alexander the Great defeats his rival Darius III with half his troops at the famous Battle of Issus. The king of the Persians, panicked, flees in disorder with his army. Such was his haste to put it to rest that he leaves on the battlefield mother, wife and children as well as much valuable booty.

 When Alexander the Great reached the king's tent, he threw out everything he found. Among them was a box containing oils, ointments and perfumes of great value. The box opened and spread its aromas everywhere! Then, the faithful - already from his wanderings in Asia - fan of essential oils Macedonian king feels excitement from his new discovery.

One of them made a wonderful botanical garden in Athens, planting the cuttings of Oriental plants.

USE OF ESSENTIAL OILS IN HISTORY

   In Asia the Chinese and then the Arabs in Europe were the first to start trading by selling essential oils. Earlier, Egyptians and Indians imported large quantities of essential oils, mainly myrrh, probably for religious purposes.

  Later, the ancient Greeks and Romans used almost all aromatic plants in a different way. They add them to their wine and thus give new aromas to their banquets! Apart from this, it is known that Dioscorides and Galen, who acted as personal physicians of the Roman Emperors, resorted to essential oils to cure many diseases. Finally, as an element of beautification, essential oils were not absent from the daily skin care of ancient women. So how can they not become the most valuable ally for many uses?
