Hydrosols: Aromatherapy's Best Kept Secret

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by essential oils, wondering which ones are safe for kids, how to dilute them properly, or if they’re too strong for your skin, you’re not alone. 

Hydrosols, sometimes called floral waters or distillates, are the gentle and water-based counterpart to essential oils. They’re produced during the steam distillation process and carry many of the same therapeutic properties as essential oils, but in a much gentler form. That’s exactly why I love hydrosols.

In this video I'll address:

• What Hydrosols are
• How Hydrosols are made
• Safety concerns with Hydrosols (are there any?)
• When to use hydrosols
• Preservatives and Shelf Life
• Signs they're going bad
• What to do with your hydrosols
• Using Hydrosols internally
• Using Hydrosols with pets
• Dilution guidelines for Hydrosols
• Body systems Hydrosols help with
• General guidelines for using hydrosols
