Floral Hydrosols-Limited Quantities!
Floral Hydrosols-Limited Quantities!
Hydrosols are by-products of essential oil distillation. These liquids contain the same properties as essential oils, however they are less potent and safer to use.
All herbs listed were grown and harvested from my yard. I used my copper distiller to produce all hydrosols listed. Herbs used to produce hydrosols are organically grown. Since these were produced in small batches, quantities are very limited! They are available in a one-ounce glass bottle with atomizer. To purchase, please select which hydrosol you would like by using the drop-down menu under “material”.
Cedar (Thuja occidentalis): This hydrosol has a sharp, evergreen scent. You can tell that is it a powerful anti-microbial herb! Cedar has anti-viral properties and also can cleanse the air, it has been used for centuries as a smudging herb. It is considered sacred to many Native American tribes.
Chamomile (Matricaria recutica): Chamomile is well known for its calming properties; soothing the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. It can be sprayed on the body during times of stress as well as sprayed on the pillow to help one calm down before bed. It has a scent that is reminiscent of apples.
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus): I wildcrafted these leaves on my last trip to northern California. Eucalyptus is very safe in hydrosol form; it is not as potent as the essential oil. It helps to open and clear the sinuses and respiratory system. It has a soft, camphoraceous scent and can be used on the skin and as a refreshing room spray.
Sweet Fern (Comptonia peregrina): A plant of the north, this herb thrives in all weather extremes and the sandiest of soils. Like other plants in the Bayberry family, the scent of sweet fern reveals full-bodied, spicey and herbaceous notes. Can be worn as a fragrance or used as a facial cleanser.
Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens): Not your typical geranium, but a rose-scented pelargonium. As the name implies, this hydrosol has a light rose scent, but not at all overpowering. Perfect for those who enjoy rose, without the typical cloying, strong smell.
HOW TO USE: Apply where needed and as often as needed. Hydrosols can be used in several ways as listed above.
