Hydrosol Therapy (Jessica Kingsley Publishers)

Hydrosols, also known as floral waters, are produced at the same time as essential oils through steam distillation of plants. Some of them, such as rose water or the hydrosol of orange blossoms, have been known for centuries while others have only recently become available. The therapeutic use of these hydrosols has become more and more popular over the last ten years in health care, cosmetics, spa treatments and many other areas of beauty and well-being. We could say that these subtle waters are imbued with the healing soul of the plant, and they often produce rapid benefit on the physical, psycho-emotional and spiritual levels. This book will give you a complete overview of theory and practice with hydrosols, including detailed descriptions, testimonials, recipes for all kind of disorders, babycare, and cooking as well how to use these subtle waters for pets. It provides a clear new vision of how you can easily introduce hydrosols in your daily life as well as using them for specific disorders.
