The common plane tree is acclaimed to adorn roads or village squares. Its wood is used for the construction of frames. It is also worked in violin making, carpentry and cabinet making, as its hardness and clarity are highly valued qualities in these areas. In Greek mythology, the plane tree is the symbol of regeneration. It would even have been used to build the Trojan horse. The interest of the plane tree is obvious in sunny regions. Several scientific studies prove that these hardwoods filter the particles contained in the atmosphere, but also that the shadow they cast on the ground, associated with the plant transpiration inherent in photosynthesis, help to reduce the ambient temperature. On the curative level, the plane tree is a tailor-made ally for epidermal disorders. In terms of energy, the plane tree is highly recommended for soothing and fighting against stress. Just approach it with your hands on your trunk and let yourself be overwhelmed by its subtle energy.
