[Kep's comment}This will probably be in parts because it's long and I've a

few things to do, so be patient please.

When Suzanne Catty's book, Hydrosols: The Next Aromatherapy, first hit the

street I was as enthusiastic as any. However even then, I was most

disappointed that no attempt had been made to compare the chemical

composition of the hydrosol with that of the essential oil (KEP's NOTE:

Funny, but that struck me too! I wanted to see the differences and

similarities, and I'm no great brain). After all, if I am to be encouraged

to... " Take one-half to one tablespoon of undiluted hydrosol three to six

times a day " ...as a tonic or " remedy " [p.177], I lkie to know what's in it.

 

I contacted Suzanne, requesting samples for analysis, but have received no

reply to date. Therefore I thought that I had better get on with some

research of my own. However, before proceeding further, I considered it

prudent to check out with Martin Watt, the law in relation to hydrosols.

Appreciating that this was a rather fast ball, I could only expect his

initial thoughts.

 

Cheers!
