Ladania, or Cistus creticus, is one of the most distinctive herbs of the Mediterranean landscape, known for its rich resinous aroma and its powerful protective benefits. Since ancient times, it has been used as a cleansing and strengthening herb, and to this day it remains a valuable ally for the body’s natural defenses.
Traditionally, cistus is used:
• to support the immune system and protect against seasonal viruses,
• to soothe cold symptoms and throat irritation,
• as a potent antioxidant with strong detoxifying action,
• to promote skin health thanks to its natural antimicrobial properties.
As an infusion, cistus offers a deep, earthy, resinous flavor—an authentic taste of the wild Mediterranean hillsides. It is ideal for daily consumption, especially during the winter months or whenever the body needs extra support and protection.
