Rhododendron

Few realize that the rhododendron found so prolifically throughout European and North American gardens today is native to the Himalayas. Known more for its brilliant blossoming that covers hillsides from Bhutan to central Nepal, few have encountered its fragrant and unique scent, let alone traditional therapeutic properties. 

According to Himalayan aromatherapy, rhododendron has grounding, calming, and centering properties.
