This copper-distilled hydrosol is freshly harvested from a farm in Northern Washington. Rose hydrosol is the most skin-softening of all the hydrosols, imparting the velvety quality of rose petals to dry and devitalized skin. It also has a gently astringent quality, making it healing for acneic skin. Energetically, Rose hydrosol is consonant with the heart chakra, and our hydrosol is infused with flower essences to help foster a buoyant, free and resplendent heart.

Like all high-quality, copper distilled hydrosols, it hydrates deeply and balances the ph of the skin beautifully. It can supplement or replace your toner in the second step of your skincare routine. It is one product that you can’t overdo, as it gently hydrates and harmonizes skin. 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 Hydrosol, I felt called to work with essences that help heal and nourish the heart:

Bleeding Heart

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.
