The word hydrosol is derived from Latin meaning "water solution". In the world of aromatherapy hydrosols are also known as hydrolats and plant waters. However, they do not come just from flowers and plants but also roots, bark, branches, needles, leaves, fruits and seeds.

Hydrosols are the condensate water coproduced during the steam distillation of plant material for aromatherapeutic purposes. They contain all the plant material in every drop; the water soluble components, essential oil molecules and the fluid flowing through the plant when it was collected. They offer healing properties and access to the actual "life force" of the plant.

Hydrosols are significantly milder than essential oils. They are a gentle dose of the aromatic plant's expression and yet highly effective.

Sophia's Garden has captured the essence of our botanical sanctuary in our unique, signature collection of hydrosols and essential oils. We use only Demeter certified Biodynamic/organic material from our farm and chemical free wild crafted material at our Demeter certified distillery.

Our Miron violet glass bottles protect these precious distillations and help preserve their bio-energy.
