Hydrosols, otherwise known as “floral waters” are produced through the distillation of fresh plant material, such as flowers, leaves, fruits, barks, etc. They are the co-distillate of essential oil production and have similar properties to their respective essential oil counterparts. However, they are much less concentrated and contain unique water-soluble compounds that are not found in the essential oils.

All of our hydrosols are lovingly produced from sustainably wild-crafted plants in beautiful PNW forests or grown (pesticide-free) in our own garden. They are extremely versatile and can be used in many ways, as a refreshing aromatherapy mist, as a skin-balancing toner, used as non-toxic household cleaners, a fragrant aftershave, or simply as a gentle substitute for your favorite essential oil blend. Our hydrosols are packaged in 2 oz frosted glass bottles with recycled paper labels.

Thyme:

The aroma of this beautiful thyme, Thymus vulgaris, is like a fresh breeze on a sunny afternoon in the Mediterranean. It’s slightly spicy, richly herbaceous, with a hint of citrus. Thyme is an extremely powerful disinfectant- it is antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial. This is my favorite hydrosol to clean with, especially when mixed with lavender.

Uses:

• great for all kinds of household cleaning. Mix it into your regular cleaner or use on its own to disinfect surfaces.

• add a small amount to your water as you cleanse your face to help with severe acne.

• gargle a teaspoon of hydrosol to help alleviate a sore throat.
