Origin & Tradition

Cistus (Cistus creticus), also known as Cretan Cistus, originates from the Mediterranean region and is especially widespread on Crete and other sun-rich areas.

For centuries, Cistus has been valued in traditional Mediterranean herbal knowledge. Its aromatic leaves and branches contain valuable plant compounds and have traditionally been used in various applications.

Cistus is particularly known for its resin, Labdanum, which was highly valued in ancient times and remains an important part of Mediterranean culture and herbal tradition.

This resilient plant grows in dry conditions, rocky landscapes and under intense sunlight – qualities that make it a symbol of adaptability and natural resilience.


📌Our recommendation is:

Above all, to eat a healthy diet, engage in sports, enjoy daily movement outdoors in nature, and drink clean water. However, in today’s world it is often not possible to follow all of these essential principles of life regularly or long-term. In addition, stress levels are widely high, and exposure to environmental factors, chemicals, toxins, pesticides, and much more has increased.
An essence from the wonderful natural world can not only provide us with valuable vitamins, minerals, and feelings of happiness: when used correctly, it offers remarkably efficient, side-effect free support, both preventively and reactively. ✔️
