Bouchardon (European trees)

In 1985, Patrice Bouchardon and his wife took care of a farm while the owners were on holiday.

With no knowledge of farm life, the couple exchanged city for country. They were responsible for one hundred and fifty cows, goats, and sheep. In the four months they ran the farm, they built a close relationship with the animals.

Later they lived for 4 months in a hut in Central France, at an altitude of one thousand meters and surrounded by thousands of hectares of forest.

This time they tried to connect with the trees. Initially from a distance and full of admiration. Later also up close. They smelled the trees, touched them, tasted their sap, and listened.

They felt a change in their breathing rhythm, noticed an influence on their pains, on their moods, even their thoughts.

This is how tree oils came about. Patrice and his wife have now been preparing their oils for 20 years. They are still discovering new properties and effects.

A few years ago, they made elixirs from these trees for the first time, in which they expressed a deeper aspect of the oils.
