The advice of your expert pharmacist
The hazel has always appeared in literature if we refer in particular to Virgil. It is said in the Bucolics that the hazels and the rivers witnessed the pain of the nymphs occasioned by the death of Daphnis. Moreover, in Tristan and Iseult, love exists on the sole condition that the hazel can embrace the honeysuckle. Otherwise, both wither away. The hazel has always been a source of magical stories. It was used for incantations by druids. It was also used by dowsers and gold diggers.
