Ways to Use Hydrosol

1. In food

• Use in ice cream, chilled desserts or drinks for aroma. Add only after the food has finished cooking to keep the hydrosol's fragrance.

• Use rosemary hydrosol for beefsteak, grilled meat, seafood and more; you can also toss it into salads or mix it into salad dressings.

2. For health and beauty

Use hydrosols to care for the skin on your face and body. They are a wonderful tonic, and you can choose the ones that suit your skin type.

• Use in place of chemical toners to help you get balanced, soft, moisturised, healthy and radiant skin.

• Mix hydrosol with clay, herbal powders, egg white, honey and so on to make your own natural face mask with therapeutic properties to suit your purpose.

• Steam your face with hydrosol to purify the skin and push out blackheads.

• Spray rose, pomelo bloom, rosemary or white lotus hydrosol all over your body after a long day in the sun, at the beach or after a tiring day at work to soothe the skin, ease stress and refresh both body and mind.

• Help nourish the scalp, stimulate hair growth and reduce hair fall with Pomelo Bloom and Rosemary hydrosols. Use after drying your hair: spray directly onto the roots, then massage your scalp. You can also spray it along the lengths to scent your hair.

• Spraying rose, rosemary, pomelo bloom or lotus hydrosol regularly is beneficial during long hours at the computer. Rosemary, Betel Leaf and Lavender hydrosols are beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin.

• Rosemary and Betel Leaf are the 2 hydrosols with the best anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties for problem skin. They are especially used for cleansing and treating vaginal inflammation, itchy skin, hives, prickly heat and more.

• You can mix a few hydrosols together to create a more interesting scent.

3. In everyday life

We have long been used to diffusing essential oils into the air; replacing essential oils with pure hydrosol is still something very new for most people.

The scent of a hydrosol is sometimes softer and more delicate than the essential oil. Some aromatic compounds are retained in the hydrosol during distillation but not in the essential oil, so at times the essential oil and the hydrosol will smell slightly different.

Rosemary will fill your room with freshness and vitality, helping you stay alert and focused on your work.

Pomelo bloom will help you feel relaxed.

Rose and lotus bring a pleasant feeling and calm the mind.

Use hydrosol instead of water in your steam iron to give your clothes a soft, natural scent.

We hope you have some delightful discoveries with the hydrosols you have.
