Holistic living with hydrosols
A hydrosol is the total essence of the material being distilled. The hydrosol could be made of leaves, bark, peels, wood, roots, flowers, and needles.
Hydrosols are not usually referred to as floral waters because of the many different materials to access. Also, according to Suzanne Catty, you can also get essential oil from seeds and fruits.
What are hydrosols?
Hydrosol uses:
- hair rinse
- skin toner
- body mist
- room spray
- aromatherapy
- sunburn relief
- flavor enhancer
- insect repellent
- laundry freshener
- alternative medicine
Always check with a physician regarding interactions with your medications before using.
Hydrosols are created by using a process called “Distillation” which separates the flower essence from the plant using specialized equipment.
How are hydrosols made?
The Roaming Botanica is about creating a healthier life. It was started because I felt like I could be living healthier by using all natural ingredients and not relying on pharmaceuticals. I looked into herbs and essential oils and discovered Hydrolsol. The thought that you can get the entire essence of a plant and use it to help yourself is beyond fascinating and amazing to me.
Now, I create hydrosols not just for myself but to support others in their pursuit of a more natural and healthier way of living.

What is the difference between hydrosol and essential oils?
Both hyrosol and essential oils are made from the same process. However, with essential oils, the oil from the plant/herb rise to the top and is skimmed off and bottled. A Roaming Botanica hydrosol is the water that is infused with the essence of the plant, flower, or herb and the oils so you get the full benefit of the plant.
It's important to note that while these herbs have a long history of traditional use for various purposes, individual experiences may vary, and it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before using herbs for medicinal purposes, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication.
