Product description :
Hollyhocks were prevalent in ancient Roman times and it was common to find hollyhock flowers in Roman gardens, alongside rose and lily; hollyhock flowers have been depicted in art work found in ancient gardens. The ancient Greeks used the Althaea species of hollyhock as a sacrifice to Apollo in harvest celebrations; it was the Althaea species of hollyhock which had the greatest medicinal properties and was used as such by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Althaea is thought to be derived from the Greek word which means ‘to heal’, and therefore an appropriate name for the healing Althaea hollyhock species. The ancient Greeks used the roots of the hollyhock to treat inflammation, indigestion, diarrhea, earache and toothache. The medicinal benefits of hollyhock are also mentioned in the writings of Pliny.The ancient Romans used the fruit and flowers of the Althaea species of hollyhock in many culinary recipes. Hollyhock extract is also used in traditional Chinese Medicine. In the Victorian Language of Flowers, hollyhocks had a meaning of fruitfulness and ambition, and white hollyhocks were said to represent the female ambition.
