@juan_a_canaves is the Instagram home of Juan A. Cánaves, a Mallorcan herbalist and wild-plant distiller behind Najuana—a small, seasonal line of essential oils and aromatic waters (hydrosols) made from Balearic plants. The project is rooted in slow, respectful harvesting and traditional distillation, focusing on purity, mindful collection, and an intimate relationship with the island’s flora. (mallorcalma.com)

Local context (Mallorca)

Juan is known for distilling a wide range of island botanicals (including Mediterranean staples such as rosemary, thyme, laurel, myrtle, and citrus) and for communicating clear boundaries around plant use—supportive and educational, without miracle-cure claims. (helencummins.com)
