    A bit of history

In oriental cultures, hibiscus blossoms were added as an ingredient to bodily and indoor fragrances, and also used as tea. Ancient Romans used wild rose (Rosa canina, or dog rose) blossoms for the same purposes. Spartans used wild rose oil to treat wounds, while the Scythians believed that Aronia was a powerful charm that protected the wearer from the evil eye and all sorts of voodoo.
