This is the first post on the Hydrosols that I use most often, as well as some of the unusual ones that I have. This week I am talking about German Chamomile Hydrosol. Distilled in the US and Organic. Always look for organic and from some place close to you. I would not want a German chamomile from Germany. If you live in the US, look for hydrosols distilled in the US (or where ever you live).
Ok, this hydrosol can (at times) have a very light green tint but most times it will be clear like water, and the scent is definitely Chamomile. The taste is bitter, like an overly strong tea, but when it's deluded it tastes more like a well prepared tea with just a touch of green to it. I see it as a waste to use this one at a “tea”, only if there is an inflammatory issue that you are working with.
For external use there are dozens of uses:
Mist the face and neck when stressed and need emotional comforting. It is a very mild Antifungal spray or you can soak your feet in it. Good for skin inflammations and calms sensitive skin, psoriasis and eczema. It can be sprayed on troughout the day or applied as a compress. It can be used as a good sunburn spray when mixed with aloe juice and a good toner for skin with acne and when the skin is red. Pretty much, if it involves the skin and inflammation this would be one of the first hydrosols I would go for. It's also very good to use on babies bottoms for diaper rash.
Just like it brings down physical inflammation, it helps bring down inflamed emotions. Brings back scents of calm and quiet to the mind. Pretty much as with its physical powers, if it’s an inflamed emotional state this one helps. It is considered energetically powerful, but this has more to do with its powerful effect on the emotions. I would (and have) sprayed it in meeting rooms to help keep things calm and used it after an emotional event to clear the energy of a room.
If you have questions or want to know more just let me know.
