floral/flower water or hydrosols + more questions

June 14, 2003

Hi

Thanks for the great info, can you answer another question for me?

I've been in contact with a EO seller in the UK and they are sending

me samples of helichrysum and Chamomile hydrosols

Is there anything i should look for to be sure the are the genuine

article? and is it possible to mix them together and still have both

properties as i want it to be healing and soothing.
