#3 Pharaoh Tutankhamun relied on essential oils
The world of fragrances is just about to become really trendy again. But essential oils are not a new invention, even the ancient Egyptians relied on them.
At that time, the oils were deprived of wealthy people. They were pampered with incense and fragrant oils. However, it went a little differently than today. The distillation process of today, did not exist then. Therefore, fragrant plants were preserved in liquid or fat for a long time.
This was a very expensive and elaborate process, which is why only gods and kings could afford it. In Tutankhamun's tomb, jars of cypress and cedar oil were found.
#4 Lavender oil is the best sleep aid
People who sleep badly don't always have to resort to medication. The scent of lavender alone can work wonders. It helps you fall asleep and stay asleep, as a study by the medical faculty in Munich found out in 2008. A few drops of it in the diffuser will make you slumber like a baby.
