This copper-distilled hydrosol is freshly harvested from a farm in Northern Washington. Lavender hydrosol offers cooling, calming repair to distressed, inflammed skin, while Clary Sage is astringent, calming and used traditionally to address hormonal dysregulation in women. These two together are Harmonizing and replenishing to all skin types, with a special affinity for those with acne and rosacea. Energetically, this duo is centering and calming, dispelling chaotic thoughts and distress.

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. This hydrosol is incredibly protective and its aroma is soothing and honey-sweet—a far cry from all of the synthetic lavender fragrance out there.

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 Lavender and Clary Sage Hydrosol, I felt called to work with essences that soothe distress, mainly because I use clary sage for my own states of worry and unquiet. She reminds me that I am deeply a part of nature, and deserve to feel safe on the planet. So, while these essences are especially chosen for these overwrought states, anyone can benefit from their wisdom healing qualities.

Aloe Vera (N. America) Positive qualities: Creative activity integrated with vital life-energy, active expression of soul fire. Patterns of imbalance: Over-emphasis of will forces or creative fervor; “burned-out” or workaholic syndrome.

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 blessingsthat I include them in my hydrosol creations.
