The Rose of Jericho, also known as Maryam's Flower (Anastatica hierochuntica), is a desert botanical known for its dramatic revival in water. When dry it looks brittle and curled; placed in water it gradually opens over several hours.

In Middle Eastern tradition this unfolding is associated with renewal and new beginnings, and the plant appears in home rituals and cultural practices across the region.

A Botanical with Cultural Meaning

The Rose of Jericho grows in the arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa, including Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia. Its natural dormancy cycle — curling tight when dry, unfolding when moist — is what earned it the name “Resurrection Plant”.

Travellers in desert regions carried it as a symbol of endurance, and it remains part of traditional home customs today. These are cultural practices and are not presented as evidence of any outcome.

How to Use It

Traditional Ritual Use

  1. Place the dried plant in a shallow bowl of clean, fresh water.
  2. Allow 3–4 hours for the branches to gradually unfold.
  3. Replace the water every 2–3 days to keep it fresh.
  4. To store, remove from water and allow it to dry and close naturally.

Hair & Skin Rinse

The infused water is traditionally used as a gentle rinse for hair or skin. Patch test first, discontinue if irritation occurs, and do not drink the soaking water.

Care and Reuse

  • Always allow the plant to dry fully between uses — leaving it wet causes it to deteriorate
  • Store dry, in a cool place away from direct sunlight
  • With proper drying between uses it can be revived many times

Quality

100% pure plant. No dyes, fragrances, or additives. Sustainably harvested and naturally air-dried.

Safety

  • For decorative, ritual, and external cosmetic use — not a food
  • Do not drink the soaking water
  • Patch test before using the infused water on skin or hair
  • Keep out of reach of small children
