What is a hydrosol?

Hydrosols are the aromatic waters that occur as a co-product of Essential Oil distillation. There are a number of other (and some less than accurate) names for these: hydrolats, floral waters (although they are obtained from more than just flowers), herbal waters, etc. Also, authentic hydrosols are not to be confused with products made by combining Essential Oils or Absolutes with plain/distilled water.

According to Kurt Schnaubelt in his book Medical Aromatherapy Healing with Essential Oils, aromatic hydrosols provide an elegant alternative and are eminently useful for aromatherapy treatments, especially for children, when the use of the Essential Oil might be too strong. Also, many constituents in hydrosols are different from those found in the Essential Oil from the same plant material. As such, while hydrosols may have actions similar to their Essential Oil counterparts, they may have other attributes their Essential Oil counterparts would not.
