Revise - the uses of Hydrolats


Organic hydrolats


Hydrolats
Hydrolats are the health-giving waters of steam distillation. These waters can be used in the bath, as fresheners after a busy day, as a spritzer for the face, as linen
sprays and for use in skin care. Hydrolats are gentle and effective. Generally calming and soothing, especially for the skin, hydrolats can be safely used with children,
animals, in combination with homeopathic remedies and for those with fragile health.


Angelica – an aid to restful sleep.
Basil -
Chamomile – calming and balancing.
One of the best all-round hydrolats.  Its gentle nature makes it ideal for use on young
babies and children.  Chamomile Roman’s astringent properties make it the best all-in-
one make-up remover, cleanser and toner.

Cistus
Clary sage – emotionally supportive.
Cypress – circulatory and invigorating.
Eucalyptus – mild anti-oxidant.
Fennel – digestive and stimulating.
Frankincense – calming, uplifting and grounding.
Geranium – beneficial for all skin types.

Juniper -

safe to use on children, calming them and temper tantrums.  Lavender hydrolat also
makes a refreshing room spray.

Lime Blossom – promotes mental creativity.
Melissa – cleanser for all skin types.
Melissa can be used to lift despondency and despair.  It can be used on its own or in a
mix as a skin clarifier.Myrrh – in the bath for softer skin.

Being astringent makes neroli the ideal treatment for delicate, sensitive and oily skins.  It
can be used as a toner.

Peppermint – cooling if used after shaving.
Pine -
