Spearmint Hydrosol - 1 Gallon - Clear Plastic Jug w/ Cap - GreenHealth

SPEARMINT - 100% NATURAL FLORAL WATER! PRODUCT INFORMATION Hydrosol Name: Spearmint Botanical Name: Mentha spicata L. Hydrosols are different than essential oils. A hydrosol (floral water) is the by-product of the essential oils distillation process. When essential oils are extracted from the plant materials, the “leftover” water from the steaming process is collected and put to use. Once thought of as waste, hydrosols contain all the therapeutic properties of essential oils, just at a lower concentration. Essential oils can become too strong and overly potent without proper dilution, but hydrosols are safe and ready to use. They can be sprayed into the air, applied directly to the skin, and used in the home. Floral water, aromatic water, hydrolats and hydroflorates are all terms used to describe hydrosols. Spearmint Hydrosol has a light, uplifting scent and is used to stimulate and focus the mind. Inhaling it can induce appetite, soothe nausea and relieve bloating. Use with a hold or cold compress to ease cramps, headaches and muscle spasms. It has antifungal properties and can be used to treat Athlete’s foot, ringworm, and other fungal infections. It has a cooling effect on the skin which increases blood flow and can reduce redness and swelling. It is also a favorite choice for homemade pest repellents. Safety Information: For external use only. May cause skin irritation for those with sensitive skin. Please note, the International Federation of Aromatherapists do not recommend that Essential Oils, Carrier Oils, or Hydrosols be taken internally unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical Aromatherapy.
