Hydrosols
Hydrosols are gentle mists from the essential oil distillation process. These are not essential oils and water--just pure hydrosols!
|
Hydrosols are a coproduct of steam distillation of essential oils and are treasured for their healing properties and gentleness. Their aroma is very mild, calming, soothing-and they grow on you the more you use them. They retain many of the essential oil properties-those that are water soluble-and are safe for children, animals, and those with fragile immune systems. Therapeutic grade hydrosols need to be stored in a cool, dark place as they contain no preservatives. Everyone has heard of witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana)-and witch hazel is a hydrosol. In other words, the plant material was steam distilled for this particular water product, which is known for its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.
Here are some suggested ways to use hydrosols:
- Skin, skin, skin--dry skin, eczema, mature skin, after a facial
- Spray Peppermint hydrosols in your mouth for dry cough
- Spray on abrasions or burns
- Mist your hair
- Freshen linens
- Smell just to give yourself a lift
- Add to bath water
- Spritz a small amount into your drinking water for a treat
- Add to desserts, parstries, cakes, or salad dressing
- Especially moisturizing for air or land travel
