(Zistus – a separate family of the cistus plants)
Rockrose is at home in the Mediterranean region, it likes it warm and dry and has always been highly valued there as a medicinal plant. It is one of the famous fragrances of antiquity and was already used as a perfume by the Minoans. It smells warm, sweet and heavy - so it relaxes and warms us; has an antiviral and antibacterial effect and stabilizes our immune system.
"Hardly any other fragrance has such a warming and healing effect on our soul as cistus"
