Mixture of hydrosols for seasonal allergies.
Composed of blue chamomile hydrosol, Roman chamomile hydrosol, and fine lavender hydrosol.
Blue chamomile hydrosol
Belonging to the Asteraceae family, blue chamomile, also known as blue tansy, German chamomile, or Tanacetum annuum, is a perennial herbaceous plant with finely cut leaves and fragrant foliage.
It produces striking blue flowers grouped in clusters, resembling small daisies. Blue chamomile is mainly cultivated in Mediterranean regions, notably in Morocco, where it is renowned for its aromatic and therapeutic properties.
Blue chamomile hydrosol is obtained through steam distillation of freshly picked flowers. It appears as a clear liquid, ranging in color from colorless to pale blue. The aroma of this hydrosol is gentle, herbal, and slightly fruity, with subtle hints reminiscent of chamomile.
Roman chamomile hydrosol
Roman chamomile, a member of the Asteraceae family, is a perennial plant with multiple branches and an enchanting fragrance. It thrives mainly in Western Europe, including France, Belgium, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
This plant, typically reaching a height of 10 to 30 centimeters, features finely cut light green leaves and white flowers with a yellow disk, resembling delicate daisies. The flowers, with a sweet and relaxing fragrance, appear between May and September and are hermaphroditic, bearing both male and female reproductive organs.
Roman chamomile hydrosol, also called Roman chamomile floral water, is extracted through distillation of fresh flowers. This clear and colorless liquid emits a characteristic fragrance, both sweet and slightly herbal.
Fine lavender hydrosol
Derived from the Lamiaceae family, Lavandula angustifolia P. Miller, also known as true lavender, fine lavender, or officinal lavender, is a perennial subshrub with slender, elongated leaves.
It gives rise to flowers ranging from blue-violet to light blue, clustered in terminal spikes on long stems. Lavandula angustifolia is mainly cultivated in Mediterranean regions, especially in France, Spain, Italy, and Bulgaria.
The essential oil of Lavandula angustifolia is extracted through steam distillation of freshly harvested flowers. It is characterized by a clear liquid ranging in color from colorless to pale yellow. Its fragrance is sweet, floral, and herbal, complemented by slightly balsamic notes.
