Dictionnaire complet des Hydrolats & eaux florales

We all heard about rose water, blueberry, orange blossom, or used them.

To mention them only! These floral waters are part of the family of hydrolats and are sweeter than Essential Oils. They do not require the same precautions and can be used orally as a herbal tea at a rate of one teaspoon in a glass of water, as a spray on a mucous membrane (buccal wall, throat) or by dermal routes (face, body, hair). In cosmetics, they serve as a cleansing and toning lotion for the face and as scented water to refresh the body. But what do we really know about them? How can we use them and enjoy their health benefits?

To answer this question, Jean-Philippe Zahalka introduces us to 70 hydrolats and floral waters, very required and used for 100 common pathologies. In addition to his advice and formulas, he also teaches us what are hydrolate and floral water, how are they obtained, what are their properties and shows us different possible uses. Each hydrolate has similar (sometimes different) virtues with the corresponding Essential Oil, but its use is much softer and is particularly suitable for fragile and sensitive mucosa, as well as for children.

At the end of the book, you will find an alphabetical classification of the 70 hydrolats and waters in this dictionary, as well as an aromatherapy and therapeutic index.
