This freshly harvested, copper-distilled rose geranium hydrosol comes from a farm in Northern Washington. A dermal adaptogen, Rose Geranium hydrosol offers anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing properties. It helps to combat blemishes, dehydration, and fine lines. Rose Geranium also helps to activate sluggish sebaceous glands and calm those that are overactive, making it ideal for combination skin. Like all high-quality hydrosols, it balances the ph of the skin beautifully and can supplement or replace your toner in the second step of your skincare routine.

Hydrated skin glows beautifully, and hydrosol offers instant, deep hydration. Those of us who have been using hydrosols for years are well aware of the mood-soothing benefits—delivered through the water-soluble properties of healing plants, hydrosols bring subtle, vibrational, yin, energetics to our psyche as well as our skin.

Vena Cava hydrosols are imparted with the added benefit of flower essences. Not to be confused with essential oils, flower essences are subtle, vibrational remedies to address specific, profound issues of emotional well-being, soul development, and mind-body health. While flower essences are most often taken internally, they are also highly effective in topical remedies.

Each Vena Cava hydrosol is infused with a special blend of flower essences to enhance their healing properties. When channeling the flower essences to bring into Rose Geranium hydrosol, I felt called to work with essences that support well-aging, specifically helping us to feel empowered by aging, softening criticism and promoting undconditional love. But anyone can benefit from their wise, healing qualities.

This page contains excerpts from Flower Essence Society, written by Patricia Kaminski and Richard Katz-pioneering researchers in flower essences and authors of Flower Essence Repertory.  I am deeply grateful to the decades of work Richard and Patricia have offered to researching and creating these remedies in the true spirit of Dr. Bach’s legacy. It is with their permission and blessings that I include them in my hydrosol creations.
