Hydrosol’s aromatic is distinct from the scent of the essential oil of the same plant. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

See below for description of scents. While some hydrosols have strengths in certain applications, most cross over into multiple uses, and personal preference is a good guideline.<\/p>\n

General info:<\/strong> Hydrosol is the recondensed steam water produced by steam-distilling plant material.\u00a0 This versatile product has many uses, from hygienic to therapeutic, for personal use and around the home or office.\u00a0 Being a pure and all-natural product with no petrochemical additives, hydrosol can bring welcome relief from allergies and sensitivities to artificial fragrances.\u00a0 Conifer hydrosols can have an uplifting and calming effect, bringing the scent of the forest to you wherever you are.\u00a0 Spritz it around the home as an air freshener, or try spraying some above your bed before sleep for an enhanced dream experience. \u00a0Our PINEal hydrosol is especially good for this, using the essence of Pine cones to stimulate the pineal gland. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
The antimicrobial, antiseptic properties of Conifers have historically brought them into living spaces to promote health and cleanliness.\u00a0 Use Conifer hydrosol undiluted in a spray bottle for a wonderful all-purpose household cleaner in the kitchen and bathroom.\u00a0 Dilute 1 part to 3 with water for mopping or lighter duty cleaning.\u00a0 Try adding it to liquid soaps such as dish or laundry detergent to make the soap last longer and to help remove grease, stains, and odors.\u00a0 Add a splash to the pre-wash soak to freshen laundry; spray directly on stains.\u00a0 Spray on glass and mirrors and wipe as you would with glass cleaner. \u00a0It also comes in handy as a gentle hand sanitizer or yoga mat freshener.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Try spraying any hydrosol on a seized lock or tool such as an adjustable wrench.\u00a0 In most cases it will dissolve the oxidation for smooth turning.\u00a0 Let your imagination be your guide for other household uses. \u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Hydrosol may be used as a refreshing body spray.\u00a0 Carry a small spritz bottle of Comfrey or Yarrow in your hand bag for an afternoon pick-me-up. \u00a0<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hydrosols are often ingredients in soaps, salves, healing balms, and cosmetics.\u00a0 If you make your own herbal products, hydrosols can be a great way to introduce the properties of a particular plant to your product.\u00a0 Like essential oils, hydrosols can have therapeutic benefits, and while not as potent as essential oils, they are much stronger than herbal teas and should not be taken internally except under the guidance of a board-certified aromatherapist or herbalist. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Following are brief descriptions of some Hydrosols we recommend for specific applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Air Fresheners: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mountain Myst: high-elevation Douglas-fir or White Fir offers a fresh, uplifting, and calming scent.<\/p>\n

Willow:\u00a0The smell of Willow is distinct, like a walk beside a burbling creek in spring, imparting resilience and supporting new growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yarrow + Lavender: Try this unique co-distillation for air freshener, body spray, yoga mat…\u00a0<\/p>\n

Face, Hair & Body Mysts:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Smudge Myst:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sage is Artemesia tridentata in a traditional role, but without the smudge wand’s smoke. \u00a0Use to purify and cleanse self, home, office, car, sacred space; for ceremony, anytime smoke is not desirable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Feather Sage is another of the Artemesia family with a softer scent and energetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Utah Juniper is also a protector plant, also great for clearing and holding sacred space. \u00a0Use to purify and cleanse self, home, office, car, sacred space; for ceremony, anytime smoke is not desirable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elevated:\u00a0Conifers have been treasured historically for their antiseptic properties. High-elevation Spruce and\/or Fir has an uplifting aroma.<\/p>\n

Gentle Giant:\u00a0Conifers have been treasured historically for their antiseptic properties. Ponderosa is tall, sturdy, and quiet, a peaceful protector and supporter, very gentle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Respiratory Support:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Grindelia\u00a0is a friend to the respiratory system. Good for cold and flu season, and possibly a help for allergy relief. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Dreamtime Enhancer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
