Chamomile - not just for tea, this cute familiar daisy-like flower is also great for our skin and mental health. Chamomile is calming and soothing, as well as hydrating and nourishing.  Made from German Chamomile flowers, there is a slight blue tinge to the hydrosol as a result of the constituent of chamazulene being extracted from the white and yellow flower heads through the distillation process. Very cool! May not be surprising to those regarding chamomile essential oil - which is a rich gorgeous blue. Since hydrosols as technically a by-product of essential oil making, a few of those precious drops are present in the distilled waters.  Beautiful as a facial toner - hydrosols are naturally acidic and help balance the pH of our skin.
 
This was distilled on a Summer Solstice trip to visit friends (and beach roses) in Maine. Chamomile was running wild on their sweet lush land. I feel so lucky to have captured not only the benefits of chamomile in this batch, but the energy of our special visit and time together in the sun.
 
These hydrosols are hand crafted in small batches by distilling fresh raw plant matter in a copper still. A magical alchemical process occurs producing gorgeously scented aromatic waters that carry the special properties of the plants. The plants were either grown by seed or ethically wildcrafted in the Catskills - by me, for you :) 
 
Aromatherapy is an ancient powerful healing modality often overlooked in our modern world.  There are countless ways these hydrosols can support us! I use them as part of my skin care ritual and am reaching for them all day long for an instant shift and return to myself.
