Aromatic Waters
Aromatic waters are highly therapeutic distillates and constitute a very safe and effective way of prescribing the volatile principles and vital essence of a plant internally, an essential element that is missing from the present practice of herbal medicine and aromatherapy in the UK.
An aromatic water is water enriched with both the essential oil and the water-soluble volatile components of a plant. The essential oil is finely dispersed through the water in a low concentration, giving each aromatic water its individual smell.
