Episode Synopsis

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by essential oils, wondering which ones are safe for kids, how to dilute them properly, or if they’re too strong for your skin, you’re not alone. Hydrosols, sometimes called floral waters or distillates, are the gentle and water-based counterpart to essential oils. They’re produced during the steam distillation process and carry many of the same therapeutic properties as essential oils, but in a much gentler form. That’s exactly why I love hydrosols.In this video I'll address:What Hydrosols areHow Hydrosols are madeSafety concerns with Hydrosols (are there any?)When to use hydrosolsPreservatives and Shelf LifeSigns they're going badWhat to do with your hydrosolsUsing Hydrosols internallyUsing Hydrosols with petsDilution guidelines for HydrosolsBody systems Hydrosols help withGeneral guidelines for using hydrosolsVisit the episode page here: https://www.LeaJacobson.com/bestkeptsecret Buy the book: https://www.LeaJacobson.com/HYDROSOLSSend us a textThis is Lea Jacobson  empowering you to use essential oils safely.
