What is Pranarom Organic Lavender Hydrosol used for?
A hydrosol is distillate water or floral water obtained through the steam distillation of an aromatic or medicinal plant to extract an essential oil. During the distillation process in the still, the aromatic molecules from the raw materials being distilled are carried away by the steam, condensed, and collected in a decanter. The resulting distillate consists of essential oil floating on top and distillation water, in which a tiny fraction of the essential oil has dissolved.
A hydrosol is not as potent as an essential oil; however, since it consists of water (floral water), it retains water-soluble aromatic molecules and remains slightly fragrant, possessing certain therapeutic properties.
References to lavender can be found in ancient texts. Dioscorides’ *De materia medica* mentions a type of lavender, which is also found somewhat later in the *Orphic Argonautica*, an anonymous text from the 3rd century A.D. In reality, the therapeutic importance we attribute today to fine lavender and aspic lavender is equivalent to that which the ancients attributed to stoechade lavender.
We know of a few ancient uses for lavender. We are told that lavender was burned in the rooms where the sick stayed. Similarly, it was used to scent bathwater among the Romans, who simultaneously benefited from lavender’s skin-care properties. Purification and cleansing are two characteristics inherent in the very name of lavender. Indeed, its Latin name—lavandula—derives from the Latin lavare, meaning simply “to wash.”
