distillation equipment that dated back to 3000 BCE. There was evidence of perfumery as some perfume containers were also excavated alongside. The
people of the Indus Valley civilization had developed the art of obtaining aromatic waters or synthesizing several plant extracts for various reasons which were later adopted by Vaids and Hakims for medicine.
