The history of human use of essential oils is as long as the history of human beings, and the real origin is difficult to verify. According to historical records, an ancient Alabai doctor used distillation to extract flower essence to make essential oil; until the prosperity of ancient Greece, the medical books at that time recorded the practical use of many essential oils, but the essential oils at that time belonged only to the precious items of the royal family and nobles . The ancient Egyptians even carried forward plant essential oils, which were widely used in medical and cosmetic purposes, and the most well-known is the use of plant essential oils for sterilization and antiseptic properties to preserve mummified corpses. In the era when plague and cholera epidemics were prevalent in Europe in the Middle Ages, it was found that perfume makers had a much lower chance of getting sick than ordinary people because they were in contact with plant essential oils all day long. During the spread of the Black Death, people often burned frankincense lavender and lit candles made of essential oils at home to curb the spread of the Black Death. In 1808, Dr. Kal Essen of Heidelberg, Germany, noticed the wonderful effects of plant essential oils while browsing ancient medical books, which aroused his great interest, and began his historical relationship with essential oils. He put down his clinic and spent several years traveling all over Europe, the Middle East and North Africa to extensively collect essential oil extraction processes and raw materials, and devoted himself to the research of plant essential oil extraction and application technology. After returning to his hometown, he introduced and planted thousands of plants, and obtained different types of essential oils by means of distillation and extraction. While practicing medicine to maintain his life, he worked hard to promote the application of essential oils in spiritual, physiological, and skin diseases. After that, YongBlood (vitality) brand essential oil became famous in Europe. In just a few years, essential oil became the favorite health care product of the royal family and nobles, and became popular for a while. Therefore, he became the authority of European essential oil at that time and won the knight medal issued by the German emperor. However, due to the limitation of the industrial level at that time, the production of essential oils was not easy, and the output was very scarce. The price was higher than that of gold. It was called liquid gold, and it could only be used by the royal family and nobles. of. This made Karl Eisen very distressed, but he has been suffering from no solution. In his later years, Dr. Kal Essen handed over the essential oil business to his son, devoted himself to the research work, and wrote the world’s first monograph on the production and application of essential oils, “Essential Oils: God’s Gift”, for the promotion and application of essential oils It has established a complete theoretical and practical foundation, so it is known as the “father of essential oils”, and it also makes Heidelberg, Germany a holy place in the hearts of essential oil practitioners in the world. After World War II, the descendants of Dr. Kal Essen were finally able to realize the industrialization of essential oil production. They turned the old family workshop into a modern Essen Plant Extraction Technology Company, established a complete essential oil research institute, equipped with the most advanced Tested experimental equipment, built a modern production plant, applied new technology and production equipment, continued the brand YongBlood (vitality element) founded by Kal Essen, determined to realize the wishes of the elderly, and spread the application of essential oils to thousands of households, so that the entire human race benefit from.
