Overview

This book is about my personal journey after discovering the world of Aromatherapy 30 years ago. I developed a passion, to learn more about the healing powers of the herbs and flowers that are steam distilled and produced into essential oils and hydrosols. This desire to educate myself led me to the realization that the hydrosol, the liquid byproduct of producing essential oils should be sitting right next to the essential oil in importance. The Hydrosol has the same beneficial properties as the essential oil, only in a much milder form, which can be applied directly on the skin and is safe for pets and children. The hydrosols uses are unlimited.The history of aromatherapy and its place in ancient times is mentioned in the book, however the books main focus is on the chosen herbs we grow and harvest to steam distill, producing hydrosols as our ultimate goal.The reader will follow our journey discovering which herbs to choose, where to plant them, how to keep them healthy, growing to their potential and walk through the process of how each individual herb is uniquely harvested and distilled. Featured are the Rose, Lavender, Lemongrass, Lemon Verbena, Sage, Rose Geranium, Basil, Peppermint and Rosemary. Uses of each featured herb both in dry and liquid form will be discussed and listed, with recipes, formulas and DIY projects for the bath, home, health, skincare and in the kitchen.Aromatherapy is a growing necessity for the healing world, physically, mentally and emotionally. Its place in the cosmetic industry is here to stay. My ultimate goal is to share my world and show the reader how they can enhance their lives by bringing this natural way of living into their lives.
