who first discovered aromatherapy?

Answers:
The word was first used in the 1920s by French chemist Ren茅 Maurice Gattefoss茅, who devoted his life to researching the healing properties of essential oils after a lucky accident in his perfume laboratory. (In the accident, he lit his arm on fire and thrust it into the nearest cold liquid, which happened to be a vat of lavender oil. Much to his amazement, the burn quickly healed without a scar.)
