Buy Here/Buy Here

Rose water as it's more commonly referred to is perhaps the most famous and magical of all the plant hydrolates. "Goddess Medicine" (Elizabeth Ashley), Cleopatra's favorite flower, and associated with Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus and Isis. Rosewater was distilled as early as the 9th century by Al Kindi, 'Philosopher of the Arabs', writer of medicine and astrology and throughout the Arabic world to southern Asia in 10th -12th centuries.

We highly recommend reading 'Rose Goddess Medicine' by Elizabeth Ashley for in depth information on the history, Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Aromatherapy uses and MUCH more of rose essential oil and hydrolate.

Damascus Rose was discovered in Europe during the crusades, is considered to be the most beautiful and the most subtle. The hydrolate has so many active components, that its healing field is unlimited! Our Roses are of the damscena variety grown in the unique climate of Teruel, eastern Spain.

Here is a terribly brief summary of some key points:

Rose water can be used to heal skin conditions, from acne and dry skin to sunburn.

It is 'heart medicine', from emotional pain to heart palpitations and irregularities.

Rose water is refreshing and helps to increase our energy when it has been depleted.

Use to balance hormones

Awaken sensuality and desire, self confidence, ability to feel fulfillment.

Treat psychosomaic illness with rose water.

Essential Oils: How to use them. Essential Oils: How to use them.

26 de June de 2017
Tags: Post by

There are three ways to use essential oils, the most common are inhalation and topical application .

It is possible to ingest essential oils, but only recommended if you are suffering from a viral infection. Please do not ingest essential oils without previously consulting an aromatherapist. Dosage is EVERYTHING! Many essential oils are DANGEROUS to ingest.

INHALATION

Indirect Inhalation: Drop 1 drop of essential oil on your pillow and enjoy a soothing aroma all night. We recommend doing this when needing deeper, more nourishing sleep. Use lavender angustifolia or lemon balm (dilution 20%). It's also a great way to help sleep when we are congested with mucus in the nose or lungs. Use cypress, inula graveolens dilution 20% or rosemary cineoil. This method is very safe for children. Aromas such as rosemary or peppermint are not so relaxing, although they will help to decongest. If you are working through an emotional process and using an essential oil such as everlasting or laurel, this method is also wonderful to continue the 'work' while you sleep.

Direct Inhalation: Meditate with an essential oil or eo blend by applying a dilution to the back or palm of your hand or directly to an aroma stick or soft tissue.

Diffusing: Add between 6 and 20 drops of essential oil(s) into a diffuser, depending on the size of the room and length of time you will be there. There are also car diffusers now on the market. We recommend our ultra sound diffuser next to your computer, in your bedroom or living area. If congested with mucus, put up to 6 drops in a bowl of hot water. Put a towel over your head and slowly inhale the steaming vapors that rise from it.

TOPICAL APPLICATION

Please ALWAYS dilute an essential oil with a carrier vegetable oil (almond, olive, wheat germ or grape seed oils etc. Many carrier oils or macerated carrier oils will also complement the work of the essential oil due to their curative properties). Olive oil is easily accessible and is quite thick, which gives a long absorption time for the skin. However, it can also make the skin feel sticky. We use almond oil in our Essence blends as it has a smooth, soft feeling on the skin. Use dilutions of 3 to 50%. Please check maximum dilution before applying.

EssencesCat provides ready made diluted blends (see Essence 1-6) and Roll-ons to apply safely from one to four times a day as needed on different locations on your body. Allow the oil to absorb for 2-3 minutes before getting dressed to avoid staining clothing.
Dilute two or more drops of oil with your chosen carrier oil and rub on your chest (for heart, lungs, anxiety etc) or neck and temples (stress, head ache) upper sternum, wrist, ears or pressure points. Application to soles of feet at night before bed is a very effective treatment.

Massage: Apply the blend on the skin and massage in. Use a warm compress (a cloth soaked in hot water, covered with dry cloth to seal the heat) after applying essential oils for deeper penetration. Leave the cloth on for 15-30 minutes. Remove immediately if uncomfortable. Apply a cold pack after essential oils when treating inflamed or swollen tissues. Before applying oils, wash your hands with soap and water.

INGESTION: It is possible to ingest 1 or 2 drops of essential oils on a spoonful of honey. As mentioned previously, this should only be done on recommendation by an aromatherapist. See Recipes with essential oils and hydrolates.

Please consult an aromatherapist. NOT ALL ESSENTIAL OILS ARE SAFE TO INGEST.

There are many creative ways of using essential oils. Enjoy finding the ones that suit you and your family!

The garden is a place of contemplation . We offer many courses such as watercolor painting where we encourage practices of deep observation to connect to the essence or spirit of the plant. The garden is designed to be used with the aromatic library . Many essential oils we distill such as artemisia annua, catnip, inula graveolens can be found in the garden. There are also many wild flowers that can be harvested for tinctures and macerations. The garden is open to schools to practice and play with identifying species and other activities.

Our Distillery was built during the winter of 2016 and began its activity in July 2017. The first distillation was from Nepeta Cataria and since then I have produced a large amount of essential oils and Hydrolates that you can see in the Shop. On the other hand, I exported our plants and seeds to other regions of Catalonia and France, obtaining in return a great variety of essential oils that are very difficult to produce in our increasingly drier and hotter environment. Essences Cat is deeply committed to sustainable, renewable practices. From the cultivation, harvesting and foresting processes that follow the biodynamic calendar to the solar energy we use to power our distillery. We have created a renewable water circuit between our 100m deep well, pond and rain water collection points, the motors powered directly by solar power. All residues from the distillation process are organic and are recycled in our garden. As well as keeping our CO2 emissions as low as possible, we also help maintain our local environment by clearing the villages forests and verges of invasive plants such as stinky fleabane. Our distillery was built during the winter of 2016, and began it's production in the summer of 2017. The first distillation was of Nepeta cataria, and since then we've produced a variety of essential oils that you can find in our shop. We also work in collaboration with Catalonia and France, sharing our rare seeds with associates in regions which are not as dry and hot as in the Mediterranean basin, and so give a greater yield of essential oils.
