The palm tree is more like a colossal fern than a tree. It can measure up to 20 meters high and have a life expectancy of a century. And it’s been around for 80 million years. The long aerial roots at the base of its trunk give it an incredible reputation: it has the ability to move one meter every year! Heat is recommended for all kinds of palms. The Chinese palm, or hemp palm, is the only palm that can grow at negative temperatures down to -18°C! The trunk of the palm tree is coated with a kind of fiber that is used to make brooms, brushes or ropes in Asia… A long time ago, it was even used to line the inside of mattresses. At the beginning of our era, palm fronds were used in some countries to pave paths. To connect with a palm tree, place your hands on the trunk and let the incredible positive energy wash over you. The effects on your metabolism will be as strong as an energy drink.
