Growing throughout the Mediterranean is a hardy shrub commonly known as rock rose. Shepherds discovered the healing properties of a sticky substance upon its leaves when it stuck to their sheep’s fleece, accelerating wound healing. The essential oil, derived from these leaves is known as Cistus, obtained through steam distillation, and is celebrated for its healing effects on the body, mind and spirit. The plant's seeds often lie dormant in the soil until a wildfire triggers their germination, symbolising resilience and renewal. Cistus aids emotional healing by addressing past traumas, balancing emotional extremes, and fostering self-care and spiritual growth. Its transformative power enhances the senses and facilitates the release of repressed memories, helping individuals reclaim their innate gifts and serve humanity.
