Exotic Indian Oils

The art of Aromatherapy began with the Egyptians who made fragrances, love potions and health and beauty treatments from Pure Indian Attar Oils. The Greeks learned the art from the Egyptians and India's Ayurvedic medicine is based on the use of Pure Indian Attar Oils. In the 10th century, Avicenna, an Arabian physician, used distillation to extract the fragrances from plants. Rose water became one of the most famous of his perfumes and continues to be very popular, particularly in the Middle Eastern and Asian countries. The use of Pure Indian Attar Oils spread rapidly by the 12th century and was introduced to the U.S. by the French. In 1928, the term, Aromatherapy, was coined by the French chemist Rene-Maurie Gattefosse.

The Pure Indian Attar Oil of a herb, spice, flower, or wood is described as its "life force," because it contains its substance, natural elements and beneficial therapeutic properties.

 One of the most effective methods of using oils is by massage. During massage, the capillaries that are close to the skin's surface effectively carry the oil to other parts of the body. Care must be taken, however, not to irritate the skin with undiluted oils. The Pure Indian Attar Oils are very potent and should be diluted with a carrier oil, such as peach kernel or sweet almond. Six drops of Pure Indian Attar Oil to two teaspoonfuls of carrier oil is recommended.
