Melissa and Peppermint Hydrolats - our favourite distilled plant waters for February
This month we present you our favourite hydrolats: Melissa and Peppermint.
Hydrosols - in the world of aromatherapy - are also known as hydrolates or hydrolats. It is the distilled water recuperated during the steam or hydro-distillation of plant materials for aromatherapy purposes. Compared with their respective essential oils they are gentler in terms of their smell, their chemistry and potency, but they remain highly effective.
In fact, most hydrosols work exceptionally well in synergy with any aromatherapy protocol, and are particularly good for use in skin care regimes. Most hydrosols are non-irritant, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.
Here are the profiles of these two wonderful distilled plant waters:
