In the Middle Ages in France, rosemary was burnt to disinfect the air in hospitals, the hydrosol also be sprayed to disinfect and protect. It was reputed through time to strengthen body and brain, it was also used as a general panacea. Energetically, rosemary is a very stimulating herb, but also strongly earthed and with a “can do” attitude. It boosts confidence and courage in those suffering from extreme self doubt . It’s a great hair rinse too, nourishing the roots and brining a shine.
Our hydrosols are distilled by us here on the farm. Unlike commercially available hydrosols, they are not a by-product of essential oil distillation, but our primary product. We distill gently and slowly to produce the highest quality aromatic water with a wide range of gentle active ingredients intact. The essential oil is not separated off from the water, unless there is more than would be safe. We use water from the spring on our land, which has had no chemical fertiliser on it in decades so is pure and unpolluted. These aromatic distillates are a powerful healing medium because the water carries the energetic imprint of the whole plant in its matrix.
Use hydrosols as an after shower rinse, or pour them in your bath and soak. Use them as face toners, to soothe skin, as room sprays, or to heal as appropriate. If you are using them with your animals, you can add a few drops to a bowl of water, or rub into their fur. But make sure they like the smell (more on how to use essential oils with animals here)
