Hydrosols ** No Distillation = No Hydrosol ** Was: Cacao hydrosol?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jennifer,

 

I see no link here .. but I can guess what you are talking about.

 

There are a couple of folks in the industry who are trying to redefine

terms, Basically, they add an absolute to distilled water and call it a

Hydrosol .. its NOT a Hydrosol and it will NOT have the therapeutic

properties of a Hydrosol .. its merely a nice smelling substance diluted

(though not all that well) in distilled water.

 

If there is no distillation .. there is not Hydrosol .. PERIOD!

 

And .. I'm a bit pressed for time now .. but in the next 24 hours or so

I have some comments on Martin's post on Hydrosols a couple of days ago.

Safety of Hydrosols is like Security against terrorism .. its a matter

of degree of risk vs probability of occurrence. The data Martin put out

is the ideal .. to the extreme. Its not practical .. not functional ..

not practiced in the REAL WORLD of dealing in Hydrosols .. nor is it

even a near requirement in the REAL WORLD of Hydrosols.

 

Basically .. we're talking theory vs practice .. ideal vs reality.
