Cistus Plant Study
Our study with the beautiful Grey Leaved Rock Rose (Cistus albidus) led to making a flower essence and infused oil in almond with the therapeutic indications of relaxation and therefore expansion in the heart area: a duality of softening relaxation supported by strong boundaries to give the comfort felt in surrendering to letting go; living in the now, being present.
