Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 [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. by Charles @essentiallyoils.com 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!
