“The word hydrosol, ‘hydro’ water and ‘sol’ solution means water solution and refers to the fact that a hydrosol is water containing plant molecules, it is produced alongside essential oil in the process of steam distillation and sometimes referred to as flower water.

What I love about hydrosols is that with a small, portable, inexpensive, copper still (from 300 dollars) they are easy to make, much safer than essential oils and have great potential for use both in physical ailments and when working on a more subtle, emotional level…”
