The Legacy of Medicated Oils & Herbs in Ancient Egypt
For thousands of years, the ancient Egyptians led the world in the art of natural healing. Their deep understanding of botanicals and oils laid the foundation for many of the herbal and therapeutic practices we know today. At Tejaru, we proudly draw inspiration from this timeless legacy.
Nature’s Pharmacy of the Pharaohs
Ancient Egyptian medicine relied on a wide range of herbs and oils, carefully blended to treat ailments, promote wellness, and enhance beauty. Remedies were crafted using ingredients such as black cumin, myrrh, aloe vera, frankincense, and castor oil, many of which are still trusted for their powerful healing properties.
Healing Through Oils
Medicated oils were central to Egyptian life. Used for skin care, pain relief, digestive health, and massage therapy, these natural elixirs were infused with herbs to unlock their full potency. Egyptians were among the first to practice what we now call aromatherapy, combining fragrance with function.
Ritual, Balance & Beauty
Health in ancient Egypt was a harmony of body and spirit. Oils and herbs played a vital role in both religious rituals and personal care, symbolizing purification and protection. Even in mummification, they preserved and honored the body using blends of sacred resins and oils.
