Why did we call it "My Sacred Fig"?


We use the term My Sacred Fig to signify our hope to enlighten spa owners with the importance of brand building and marketing products that express their search for business and personal Awakening.
Also known as the Bodhi Tree, the Sacred Fig is a species of banyan fig native to India, southwest China and indochina east to Vietnam. It is a large dry-season-deciduous or semi-evergreen tree that can grow up to 30 m tall with a trunk diameter up to 3 m.
This plant is considered sacred, and hence the name 'Sacred Fig' was given to it.
The leaves are cordate in shape with a distinctive extended tip; they are 10-17cm long and 8-12cm broad, with a 6-10cm petiole. The fruit is a small fig 1-1.5cm diameter, green ripening purple.
The Bodhi tree and the Sri Maha Bodhi propagated from it are famous specimens of Sacred Fig. The known planting date of the latter, 288 BC, gives it the oldest verified age for any angiosperm plant.
