Translations of hieroglyphics found in the temple of Edfu indicate that aromatic substances were formulated by the priests to make perfumes and medicines. The Egyptian Kyphi Penny Price Academy Saturday Club ❖ Kyphi (Kapet) was one of the most popular January 2020 types of temple incense in Ancient Egypt ❖ It was burnt as a religious incense (the name meaning “welcome to the gods”) ❖ Kyphi did become well known for alleviating anxiety, bringing restful sleep and cleansing the body. ❖ A recipe for Kyphi was found engraved on the wall of a laboratory at Edfu and identified by Victor Loret in 1887. Kyphi Ingredients Penny Price Academy Frankincense Saturday Club January 2020 Incensole acetate has been shown to exert anxiolytic and anti-depressive effects, as well as a sedative effect.

The Greeks Penny Price Academy ❖ 500 BC: The Greeks learned from the Saturday Club January 2020 Egyptians (mummies and recipes) and catalogued the knowledge. ❖ 460-377 BC: Hippocrates described the effects of 300 plants. Known as the ‘Father of Medicine’ he wrote ‘The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and scented massage every day’. Megaleion Penny Price Academy ❖ A perfumer named Megallus (Greece), created Saturday Club January 2020 the legendary megaleion, that was used in the treatment of wounds and inflammation. ❖ Megaleion contained burnt resin, cassia, cinnamon and myrrh in a fat soluble oil. ❖ In 2013 DSH perfumes brought out a perfume in dedication to the ancient megaleion with the same name. It is described as animal-spicy Megaleion Ingredients Penny Price Academy Cardamom Saturday Club January 2020 Al Zuhair et al (2000) found the oil to have significant analgesic activity as well as anti inflammatory and anti spasmodic properties.

Copaiba balsam Has great bactericidal, anti inflammatory and disinfectant properties. The Romans Penny Price Academy ❖ 200AD: The Roman Claudius Galen put Saturday Club January 2020 forward his ideas on medicine, anatomy and physiology, which were to remain in force for over 1000 years until the rise of the great Italian universities of Padua and Bologna. The old word for a medicinal preparation was "galenical", a sign of the tremendous influence of this man. ❖ As the Roman Empire spread so did the knowledge of the healing properties of herbs. In fact the Roman soldiers took with them seeds and plants to ensure their availability. Many of the 200 plants (including borage, fennel, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme) brought to Britain became naturalised and now grow wild. Avicenna Penny Price Academy ❖ 900 AD: Avicenna the Arab wrote books on the Saturday Club January 2020 properties of plants and made a significant contribution to the distillation process by improving the cooling system. By this time the Arabs were famous for perfumes and medicines. Ye Olde England Penny Price Academy ❖ 1400 AD: During the Bubonic plague in the Saturday Club January 2020 14th century frankincense and pine were burned in the streets. Indoors, incense and perfumed candles were used and pomanders and garlands containing aromatic gums and resins were worn around the neck. ❖ 1600 AD: In the middle ages, many herbal books were written.

This was a much cheaper and easier process than using natural plants and the use of natural medicines began to decline. People moved into towns for factory work and lost the link with plant medicine. ❖ 1928 AD: Gattefosse, a French chemist, coined the term “aromatherapy”. In the 1920's he investigated the antiseptic properties of essential oils because he had discovered the healing properties of lavender. Gattefosse wrote the first modern book on aromatherapy, which was published in 1937. Today Penny Price Academy ❖ Marguerite Maury introduced the use of Saturday Club January 2020 essential oils in the late 1950’s under the name "aromatherapy" into Britain - through beauty therapists, who were qualified in massage techniques and learned to use ready-mixed aromatherapy oils. ‘English-style’ aromatherapy is the combining of massage with essential oils and carriers. ❖ Shirley Price brought her own version of Aromatherapy from France to the UK in the 1980’s offering training in Clinical Aromatherapy and so here we are today January 2020 Could you write for the IFPA In Essence Magazine?…the editorial team are looking for a volunteer to share their experience of our Saturday Club… Conclusion Penny Price Academy Saturday Club Our usual 10% off todays featured oils; November 2019 Kyphi – Frankincense, Cypress, Cinnamon, Pine Megaleion – Cardamom, Lemongrass, Myrrh, Copaiba Balsam Thieves – Clove Leaf, Rosemary, Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon Thank you for your continued support of Saturday club… Next time… Penny Price Academy February 8th Saturday Club November 2019 Breathing Easily March 14th The Aromatic Bath If you have any ideas/requests for topics or workshops, please let us know?

AN “ODOR OF SANCTITY”: THE ICONOGRAPHY, MAGIC, AND RITUAL OF EGYPTIAN INCENSE Elliott Wise ragrance has permeated the land and culture of Egypt for millennia. Early Fgraves dug into the hot sand still contain traces of resin, sweet-smelling lotus flowers blossom along the Nile, Coptic priests swing censers to purify their altars, and modern perfumeries export all over the world.1 The numerous reliefs and papyri depicting fumigation ceremonies attest to the central role incense played in ancient Egypt. Art and ceremonies reverenced it as the embodi- ment of life and an aromatic manifestation of the gods. The pharaohs cultivated incense trees and imported expensive resins from the land of Punt to satisfy the needs of Egypt’s prolific temples and tombs. The rise of Christianity in the first century ce temporarily censored incense, but before long Orthodox clerics began celebrating the liturgy in clouds of fragrant smoke.

  • Directory of Incense Ingrediënts
    Directory of Incense ingrediënts Acacia -see Gum Arabic Agar Wood or Agarci Wood -see Oud Aloes resin. Not to be confused with the sweet smelling diseased wood known as Lignum Aloes, or Aloes Wood (which we stock under the name of Agar Wood). The name confusion arises from a mistranslation in the King James Authorised version of the Bible. Most biblical references simply to "Aloes" should be read as meaning "Lignum Aloes". The Aloes resin is prepared by boiling down the sap of Aloe ferrox -a plant similar to the better publicised Aloe vera. Smoulders to give off a strange green smoke, with a sweet, but "dark" smell. Aloes Wood -see Oud or Lignum Aloes Alum Alum is a white crystalline substance traditionally produced by processing certain rocks and clays. It has many uses such as a “mordant” (ie a fixative) in dying, and for curing animal skins. It is non-toxic. It is also one of the most useful chemicals in the incense-makers cupboard. Alum has no smell when smouldered (although it does have a slight lemon-sherbet taste). However, when ground up with herbs and used in incense it has the amazing property of bubbling up around the herb, and carrying the scent of that herb without the "bonfire" effect that you get if you try to burn the herb by itself. For making incense always use the lump or crystal form of Alum, as the grinding process breaks up the leaves of the herb. Powdered alum does not grind the herb and ends up with a paste.

In ancient times many plants have been tried as possible therapeutics in search of an effective drug. This manuscript investigates ancient beliefs on parasitic worm infestation. Moreover, Alexander of Tralles’ (525 – 605 CE) suggestions on the treatment of this con- dition are discussed as found in his lesser-known work “A letter on helminths”, along with comments on the use of those herbal cures by modern medicine. Keywords: Helminthiasis; worm infestation; parasites; history; Alexander from Tralles; Byzantium Introduction From antiquity to recent times, worm infestation remains a significant public health issue. Helminths are mentioned in the ancient Greek litera- ture and Ebers papyri of the ancient Egyptians. Ayurvedic physicians have also cited cases of infestation. By the Roman period, hygiene standards had improved; however, this problem had not subsided. According to the WHO * Department of Anatomy and Surgical Anatomy, Medical School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece.

Ancient Greeks, Egyptian, and Indian doctors tried a wide variety of plants and surgical approaches and experimented to find a cure.

  • Frankincense, Myrrh, and Balm of Gilead: Ancient Spices of Southern Arabia and Judea
    1 Frankincense, Myrrh, and Balm of Gilead: Ancient Spices of Southern Arabia and Judea Shimshon Ben-Yehoshua Emeritus, Department of Postharvest Science Volcani Center Agricultural Research Organization Bet Dagan, 50250 Israel Carole Borowitz Bet Ramat Aviv Tel Aviv, 69027 Israel Lumır Ondrej Hanusˇ Institute of Drug Research School of Pharmacy Faculty of Medicine Hebrew University Ein Kerem, Jerusalem, 91120 Israel ABSTRACT Ancient cultures discovered and utilized the medicinal and therapeutic values of spices and incorporated the burning of incense as part of religious and social ceremonies. Among the most important ancient resinous spices were frankin- cense, derivedCOPYRIGHTED from Boswellia spp., myrrh, derived MATERIAL from Commiphoras spp., both from southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa, and balm of Gilead of Judea, derived from Commiphora gileadensis. The demand for these ancient spices was met by scarce and limited sources of supply. The incense trade and trade routes Horticultural Reviews, Volume 39, First Edition. Edited by Jules Janick.

HANUSˇ were developed to carry this precious cargo over long distances through many countries to the important foreign markets of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece, and Rome. The export of the frankincense and myrrh made Arabia extremely wealthy, so much so that Theophrastus, Strabo, and Pliny all referred to it as Felix (fortunate) Arabia. At present, this export hardly exists, and the spice trade has declined to around 1,500 tonnes, coming mainly from Somalia; both Yemen and Saudi Arabia import rather than export these frankincense and myrrh.

  • Proceedings of the United States National Museum
    U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM PROCEEDINGS, VOL. 65, ART. 15 PL. I — THE MAGIC, PSYCHIC, ANCIENT EGYPTIAN, GREEK, AND ROMAN MEDICAL COLLECTIONS OF THE DIVI- SION OF MEDICINE IN THE UNITED STATES NA- TIONAL MUSEUM By Charles Whitebread Assistant Curator, Division of Medicine, United States National Museum INTRODUCTION. The origin of the materia medica collection of the United States National Museum dates back to 1881. In 1882 the drug collection which had been exhibited at the Centennial Exposition at Phila- delphia in 1876 was transferred to the Museum by the Department of Agriculture. For a time the efforts of the section of materia medica were confined almost exclusively to procuring authentic specimens of medicinal materials. Some years later the scope of the section was enlarged to include exhibits visualizing the history of the healing art, and in 1898 the more comprehensive name of division of medicine was substituted for the " section of materia medica" theretofore used. The scope of activities of the division was again enlarged in 1916, this time to include the history of pharmacy, public hygiene and sanitation, and the division, which up to that time had been administered under the department of anthropology, was made a unit of the department of arts and industries. The materia medica collection has served the purpose of giving the general public an easy reference to specimens of " official " me- dicine and has afforded students of medicine and pharmacy the opportunity of studying this subject in its various details. The subjects of history of pharmacy, public hygiene and sanitation, be- cause of their comparatively recent addition to the activities of the division, have not progressed to the same degree of perfection as the materia medica and history of medicine collections, but with the cooperation of the various government departments and outside agencies interested in these subjects, extensive plans for their de- velopment are now under way.

PREFATORY NOTE The herb-doctors and physicians of Sumer, Babylon, Assyria and Egypt have proclaimed with no uncertain voice that their craft was founded by the gods, who taught men the curative properties of water, herbs and plants and oils, and who were themselves the first practitioners. And for the last 5000 years men in every civilized country have regarded the divine art of healing as the greatest of the gods’ gifts to men. The divine art was carefully and jealously guarded by its recipients, and for many generations was preserved by means of oral tradition. As soon as men learned to write they committed the teaching to the elav tablet and the roll of papyrus, and drew up lists of medicinal herbs, and these documents con¬ stituted the first Herbals. The British Pharmacopoeia of the present day contains much that is derived from the early Oriental Herbals.
