About this product
Most of us first meet hydrosols as something to mist over a room or pat onto the skin. In this book Suzanne Catty takes them much further, and makes the case that these gentle waters of distillation belong at the center of aromatherapy.
It is bound to be controversial. Catty breaks with many conventional recommendations and offers combinations of hydrosols, for external and internal use, that will be new to many readers. At its heart are monographs on 67 hydrosols, with information on their production and on their energetic, physical and emotional uses. There is guidance on proper use and storage, a chapter of recipes for wellbeing, and a section of just-for-fun recipes for skin care and the kitchen.
