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.

When white settlers arrived in New Zealand, they cleared the land for agriculture by burning the natural flora, but manuka, a resilient scrub-type tree with petite white flowers, quickly grew back, holding onto the soil and preventing erosion. The steam-distilled leaves and twigs of manuka produce an essential oil historically used by the Māori and Kakariki parakeets, who use it to rid themselves of parasites. Manuka offers strength and resilience during times of suffering, restoring energy and providing emotional support. It promotes healing, purification, and protection, helping individuals to focus, stay calm, and avoid self-destructive behaviors. Manuka encourages peaceful resolutions and win-win situations, resonating with the goddess Athena's tactics for victory. It fosters reverence, gratitude, and compassion, helping to see the light in others even during their suffering, and reminding them of their inherent goodness.
