NATURAL WELLBEING

The fragrance of mandarin reminds many people of their childhood and the associated sense of security. This aromatic oil is extracted from the peel of the sweet, slightly tart mandarin, a citrus fruit. It is presumed that mandarins originated in Asia; today, this fruit is also cultivated in large quantities in Southern Europe.

Hibiscus, which is sometimes given other names such as the rose mallow, originally came from the tropics. In addition to its beauty, it is now also valued for its pleasantly fruity, sweet-sourish tasting flowers. Thanks to its conspicuously large flowers, it can now be found in many European gardens.

This versatile, shrub-like plant with its golden orange fruits is also known as the “lemon of the North”. It is regarded as incredibly hardy and has therefore become widespread throughout Europe, even though it originated in the Himalayas. Sea buckthorn berries are fruity and tart. They are seen as a wonderful accompaniment, especially in the colder months. 

To this today, it is still not clear where the lemon - a member of the citrus family - actually came from. It is presumed that its origins were in northern India. But due to its refreshing-sour taste, it has already been spread around the world for thousands of years.
