Essential Oils for Men Top 10
Essential oils for men
Men have played an important part in aromatherapy when back in the early 1900’s French chemist, Rene Maurice Gattefosse known as the “father of aromatherapy” discovered the power of essential oils when he scolded himself and plunged his hands into a vat of lavender oil. He noticed his hand healed quickly with minimal scarring.
Rene went onto coin the phrase “aromatherapie“, to mean the therapeutic use of aromatic substances. Today, the word aromatherapy can be said to mean the scientific and artistic use of aromatic essences extracted from plants for use in promoting the health of the body, mind and spirit.
