Hydrosol – Grapefruit / Lemon / Zinc

Description

Lemon & Grapefruit Discussion:

Here we speak on the benefits of lemon, grapefruit, and zinc, whereas below we discuss the distillation process, as well as it’s resulting hydrosol and HydroTea™.

This specific recipe is very important, which is why we showcase it in more than just the hydrosol category. This distillate of these ingredients results in a solution that has been compared to pharmaceutical options for the viruses that are a threat today.

Grapefruit and lemon are also considered two of the top astringent herbs. 

Grapefruit and lemon hydrosols are a super rare find because most companies cold press these fruits for their essential oils. 

The flavor is bitter, tart, and tangy. These two fruits are dense in astringent properties, which many consider beneficial for acne and most importantly, biofilm dissolution. This would make an excellent daily remedy to fight pathogenic biofilms, including intestinal mucus! Their compounds, including a natural quinine content, may act as a carrier for the zinc, driving it deeper into the cells, for a higher bioavailability. Zinc is an amazing support for immunity.

These rinds are used by many others to support immunity, soothing itchy skin and scalp, stress reducers, uplift depressive states, fat elimination, water retention, detoxification activation, tightening of skin and bones, and for their natural quinine compounds. The aromatic compounds are energetic, uplifting, enlightening, supportive of respiratory processes, and have their own list of benefits!

Grapefruit and lemons contain photosensitive compounds.

Hydrosol & HydroTea™ Discussion:

We are very excited to offer, not only the clear distillate, but also the concentrated drippings that we call HydroTea™! You can add 2 droppers of the HydroTea™ to a cup of hot water to make a strong herbal tea, with little to no work at all. If you purchase the two together there is a discount. Both are created with a process that takes over 24 hours of distilling the plant material. 

While there are trace amounts of essential oil in the hydrosol, it is not what we are after! We are seeking out the concentrated water-soluble compounds. Hydrosols are considered to be interchangeable to the cold-processed essential oil in its benefits and uses.

A hydrosol is an essence that contains the life force of a plant in a colloidal suspension of the vitamins, nutrients, acids, essential oils, aromatic constituents, and other soluble compounds. It is made by distilling the plant material.

The distillation process is that of when the material releases substances in the form of steam, which then turns back into liquid upon contact with cool temperatures. The hydrosol may smell and taste like whatever it is made from. As long as the plant material is edible, so is the hydrosol made from it.

This also applies to the HydroTea™! It may be used as needed. When you feel cough or cold symptoms coming on, you can take a concentrated shot of the drippings, or to use it daily you may dilute 2 droppers in 4 oz. of hot water to make a traditional strength cup of tea.

Hydrosols are recommended to be used in many ways, which include but are not limited to an astringent splash, body or facial spray, room/linen spray, diffuser additive, nebulizing additive, gargle solution, blemish or acne application, detox bath additive, belly button soak, food/tea flavoring, and in most other ways the essential oil is normally used. 

Keep your hydrosols in the fridge for a longer shelf life and to make your sprays cool and refreshing!

The options as to what you can use hydrosol in are literally limitless! If there is a special request for hydrosol that you would like, please email us and ask if it is something we can consider, and we will do our best to oblige! We will be distilling this fall season and as we make new variations, we will constantly be listing new options. Check back in often!
