Lavender Hydrosol

First off what is a hydrosol?
After steam or water distillation of a plant and the essential oil is collected, the leftover water from the distillation is called a hydrosol. Hydrosols are mostly water with the water soluble components of the plant not found in the essential oil. They usually contain a very tiny bit of essential oil, less than 1/100th of 1%. Because they are almost all water, they can be used directly on the skin without dilution. But they are so much more. One of the best things about them, I think, is that that are so much more energetic then the oils. Think of them as the Homeopathy of aromatherapy. There will be more on this and how to use them to come.
I want to talk about Lavender hydrosol.
This is the one hydrosol that is a must have (well I think there are 5 must haves but this is #1). This is your do everything Hydrosol. In and of itself it: Reduces inflammation, soothing sunburns, heat rash, bug bites, cleanse cuts, calming to the mind and body, and helps get a restful night’s sleep. It is one of the best to just spray on the skin for a pick me up. Its anti-inflammatory properties work wonders here.
Now for the more energetic used, lavender hydrosol is one of the strongest energetically of all the hydrosols. It is clearing and cleansing to the energy of a person or place, it calms energy, bringing it back into balance. Lavender will fit itself to what you need. This is why it is the one hydrosol I think everyone should have. Your intention sets this hydrosol to what it needs to help you with. Spray it in the bed room to slow down the energy of the day and help get a restful night sleep. Spry in a room to help remove negative energies from a place and make it more peaceful, use it like a smug to remove negative energies from a person’s aura and help seal holes in it. Put a drop on the chakras to help balance them. The list can go on and on, like I talked about earlier this is a do it all Hydrosol.
