Winter Waters (Hydrosol) Workshop

Click on heading for more details.
Hydrosols (floral waters) are the product of the distillation of aromatic plant material. Hydrosols have significant value in health maintenance and therapy. Did you know that Fir Hydrosol is called "Happy Water"? Its constituents help relieve the symptoms of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Many hydrosols are well known and have been used for millennia by humans for health, beauty and in cooking. Rose water, Orange Blossom, Lavender, and Cornflower are examples.
