| Description |
Saraca asoca or the Ashoka tree is one of the most legendary and sacred trees of India, and one of the most fascinating flowers in the Indian range of flower essences. Ashoka is a Sanskrit word meaning without grief or that which gives no grief. Drinking the water in which the flowers have been washed is widely considered a protection against grief. It is said that Lord Buddha was born under this tree. It is also associated with Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love, who included an ashoka blossom among the five flowers in his quiver, where ashoka represent seductive hypnosis. The tree is a symbol of love. The Ashoka is prized for its beautiful foliage and fragrant flowers. Highly valued as well for its handsome appearance and the color and abundance of its flowers, the Ashoka tree is often found in royal palace compounds and gardens as well as close to temples throughout India. The Ashoka tree has many health benefits and has long been used in traditional Indian medicine as a key ingredient in various therapies and cures. |
