Unique stories

The cinnamon shrub is native to Sri Lanka. It is mostly farmed for its bark which is stripped away and left to dry out into copper-coloured curls. The resulting spicy sticks are cherished for their comforting aroma and stimulating properties on the skin and blood flow.

Also stimulating, ginseng has been used as a tonic for the body and mind for centuries in Chinese medicine. Panax ginseng is one of the many varieties of ginseng growing in the world. Although it is a trailing ground cover plant producing small red fruits, it is cultivated for its valuable roots.

Finally, roses. They have a soothing but toning effect on the skin, and a beautiful floral fragrance. The Rosa centifolia is commonly known as the 'cabbage rose' due to its rounded shape and high volume of petals.
