Hydrosols and Distillation Equipment
Dear Friends-
We hope that all of you are well.
Hydrosols and Distilling Equipment
Ok onto the subject of the day. Many of you have in recent months asked about hydrosols.
I do not stock them but there are some really fine sources for these precious aromatic liquids. This is just a modest attempt to put you in touch with a few sources on the subject. There are many many more which you can explore.
Please explore these sites with an open heart and common sense. Each of us is working to the best of our abilities and it is impossible to all the hidden mysteries of such wonderful, deep and mysterious subjects. It is always a good policy to draw into your heart what is useful and resonates there and leave out whatever is not applicable or useful.
Jeanne Rose has written a nice article on Hydrosols which lists a number of sources in the USA for Hydrosols. She also stocks some hydrosols from projects she is personally involved in.
