Unlike the vegetal oil, as for example olive oil, the essential oils are very concentrated substances and with a non-oily texture, that is used in very small amounts mixed into other vegetal oils like almond or coconut.

They are as ancient as the first civilizations: the egiptians already were using those oils with cosmetic, medicinal or religious purposes. It is also known that Hipocrates treated his patients with essential oils. In the last years we have seen an increase of use of those precious materials for the popularization of yoga or meditation practices, but they have been used widely for the last thousands of years.
