How People Learn about Essential Oil Benefits
1. History and Folklore.
We know about essential oils and essential oil recipes from the ancient Egyptians, from the Bible, and later, from people such as Hildegard of Bingen.

2. Scientists and Doctors.
In the early 20th century, a French chemist by the name of Dr. Gattefossé had an explosion in his laboratory. After rolling on a grassy lawn to extinguish the flames on his body, he returned to his lab and discovered quite by accident that the lavender essential oil stopped the start of gangreen and began the healing very quickly.

More recent discoveries have been made by Jean Valnet, M.D., Dr. Jean-Claude LaPrax, and Dr. Daniel Pénoël.

One of the most dramatic essential oil discoveries in the last ten years was made by a medical doctor in flight between Hawaii and California. When a medical emergency arose on the flight, he was armed with his stethoscope, his blood pressure cup, and two bottles of essential oils!

3. Testimonies from Ordinary People.
Not all essential oil discoveries are made in scientific labs or by people in the medical profession. Almost every day, I receive emails from ordinary people who have made a new essential oil discovery, either accidentally or by experimenting on purpose.

One of the things that makes this website unique is that, unless stated otherwise, all testimonies that you'll find here are from people who I know personally.
