This copper-distilled hydrosol is freshly harvested from a farm in Northern Washington. Douglas Fir hydrosol offers cooling, calming repair to dull, devitalized, congested or stressed skin. Energetically, Douglas Fir is deeply grounding—it is infused with flower essences to help foster our connection to the Earth.

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. 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 Douglas FIr Hydrosol, I felt called to work with essences that help us connect to the Earth.

California Wild Rose

Positive qualities: Love for the Earth and for human life, enthusiasm for doing and serving Patterns of imbalance: Apathy, resignation, pronounced passivity; inability to catalyze will forces through the heart

Lady’s Mantle

Positive qualities: Alignment with the living dew mantle (hydrosphere) of the Earth; ability to catalyze magnetic “green” forces through hands and heart; plant consciousness integrated as a radiant healing force in the human soul

Patterns of imbalance: Dry or withered soul forces separated from the life mantle of the earth; intellectual or technical approach to healing; for the female reproductive system needing nourishment and stabilization when unconsciously aligned with the suffering of Mother Earth

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.
