You know when three best friends meet? It always starts with a cup of coffee and ends with a glass of wine. And today three “hydrosols” came together. Hydrosol, or flower water in Czech, is a by-product of essential oil production during water-based steam distillation.
Hydrolate summer refreshment
During the summer we often change essential oils for hydrolates, for their pleasant refreshment, easy application and the possibility of using them in many ways. Thanks to the appropriate pH value (between 5-6), they are used as a skin tonic. They are suitable for pregnant women and for the care of small children. They can also find a place in the kitchen, because hydrolates can also be used internally. You can use them in a diffuser for therapeutic and relaxation procedures. You see, there are many possibilities and we can include them in our lives without any fear. Let me quote, because Only water is eternal. Let us hope…
But now let's get back to the three friends who are already having a good time over a glass of wine.
Stable and strong Balkan Peony
Paeonia peregrina (Balkan peony), is a successful businesswoman whose appearance is deceptive. Everyone perceives her as a delicate flower, but don't be fooled. She hides an earthy strength within herself. Her success lies in her ability to stand with her feet firmly on the ground, but at the same time have her head in the clouds. If you are looking for a partner to relax with, call Peony.
Carefree Elderberry
Elderberry (Black elderberry, elderberry), who sits next to Peony and smiles in all directions. She is the youngest of the group, has her life ahead of her and sees everything in rosy tones. She likes to use a sweet floral aroma, which makes everyone fall in love with her. With her, you can fully relax, let go of all your worries and clear your head beautifully.
Gentle lilac
Syringa vulgaris (Common lilac) – sometimes you can hear her called Křenka. She is the only mother at the table and these meetings are a caress to her soul. If you are not in a good mood, she will quickly and easily get you out of your gloom. And if you are nervous and unsure about something, she will kindly take your hand and calm you down. Simply a mother who makes you smell the honey cookies she baked for the children.
So, what do you think about this group? Will you join us?
