The Almond tree (Prunus dulci) is a species of Prunus belonging to the subfamily Prunoideae of the family Rosaceae; within Prunus, it is classified in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell. An almond is also the seed of this tree. Botanically, the almond is not a nut, but a fruit.

It is thought that almond leads to abundance and prosperity, where as ground almonds make a good facial cleansing scrub. Their emollient properties make them suitable in cosmetics. The oil of bitter almonds has sedative properties and is sometimes used in cough remedies.
