Handmade with care by Essenciagua, this hydrosol offers a refreshing botanical experience rooted in traditional herbal wisdom.

Naturally rich in linalool, this basil hydrosol is valued for its soothing and balancing effects on the digestive system. When taken internally, it may help ease occasional digestive discomfort and support a calm, settled belly - especially when stress or diet throw things off balance.

Mer information

Latin Name: Ocimum basilicum
Plant Part Used: Aerial parts (leaves and stems)
Origin: France

Known in Provence as "Pistou," this aromatic herb has its roots in India but has long been cherished in Mediterranean culture. Although often grown as an annual, Basil is a sun-loving perennial that can reach up to 50 cm in height. Traditionally used to flavour salads, soups, and hearty dishes, it also holds a special place in herbal wellness.

Basil has been respected since ancient times for its ability to ease digestive discomfort - especially when linked to nervous tension. In natural healing traditions, it’s also known for its calming and sedative properties. It was once recommended in cases of emotional unrest, including hysteria, and fresh, crushed leaves were applied to soothe skin irritation.

Today, this gentle yet powerful plant continues to be a favourite in both the kitchen and natural apothecary, loved for its vibrant aroma and multifaceted benefits.

🌿What Herbal Wisdom Says
Basil has been cherished since ancient times for its ability to calm the digestive system, especially when the root cause is emotional. It was included in herbal medicine texts as early as the 12th century and is still recognized today for its digestive and nervous antispasmodic properties.

It helps stimulate peristalsis, the natural rhythm of the intestines, and eases the physical tension that can build up in the diaphragm and gut. Modern studies also confirm its ability to protect the intestinal lining, particularly in inflammatory conditions such as colitis (J. Evid. Based Complementary Altern. Med., 2016, 21(4)).

Green Basil Hydrosol is naturally rich in linalool and eugenol, two plant compounds known for their calming, antispasmodic, and analgesic effects. This makes it beautifully suited for all types of cramps and spasms - both nervous and digestive.

How to Drink Green Basil Hydrosol

There are two beautiful ways to enjoy the benefits of Organic Green Basil Hydrosol internally:

Tip: Always shake the bottle gently before use to distribute the active compounds evenly.

2. In your cooking:
Use Green Basil Hydrosol in place of water or broth in light recipes - such as soups, sauces, or herbal dressings. It lends a delicate, fresh herbal note while retaining the plant’s natural wellness-supporting properties.

Sammansättning

Ocimum basilicum
Plant Part Used: Aerial parts (leaves and stems)

Hydrosols are created in the same process as essential oils - through gentle steam distillation. When steam passes through the fresh plant material, it carries with it both the essential oil and water-soluble aromatic molecules from the plant.

Once cooled, the essential oil naturally separates and rises to the surface, while the aromatic water underneath is the hydrosol. This hydrosol is pure spring water enriched with the plant’s own active compounds - like a delicate imprint of the whole plant.

The distillation process is slow and careful, allowing the hydrosol to gather all the lighter and heavier aromatic notes so that it becomes a complete, true reflection of the plant. Afterward, it’s gently filtered and bottled - nothing else is added. No preservatives, no alcohol, no synthetic fragrances.

This is why a plant hydrosol is not just ‘flavored water,’ but a living extract full of the plant’s natural vibrancy, carrying both therapeutic and sensory qualities.

Topp 3 fördelar med att använda hydrosoler

Milda och säkra för alla hudtyper:
Hydrosoler är milda och icke-irriterande, vilket gör dem lämpliga även för den mest känsliga huden. De bevarar växtens essens i en mindre koncentrerad form än eteriska oljor, och erbjuder lugnande, återfuktande och sammandragande fördelar utan risk för irritation.

Mångsidig användning:
Hydrosoler kan användas på många olika sätt – som ansiktsvatten, i aromaterapi, som linnespray, för sårvård eller som ingrediens i hemmagjorda hudvårdsprodukter. Deras mångsidighet sträcker sig även till kulinarisk användning, där livsmedelsklassade hydrosoler kan smaksätta drycker, desserter och maträtter.

Terapeutiska egenskaper:
Trots sin milda natur har hydrosoler terapeutiska egenskaper som kan gynna sinne, kropp och själ. Beroende på vilken växt de kommer från kan de ha antiinflammatoriska, antiseptiska, lugnande eller upplyftande effekter, bland annat, vilket bidrar till ett ökat välbefinnande.

Hur använder man hydrosoler?

I Suzanne Catty's fantastiska bok "Hydrosols the Next Aromatherapy" förklarar hon utförligt alla fördelar och de olika sätten att använda hydrosoler. Jag rekommenderar verkligen att läsa hennes bok!

Här är vad hon skriver:

"Hydrosoler är milda men effektiva. De kan användas outspädda utan problem för de flesta topiska tillämpningar. På vissa sätt kan du behandla dem som vatten, till exempel för att tvätta ett sår eller en skråma, men det är viktigt att komma ihåg att de skiljer sig från vatten på många sätt. Hydrosoler innehåller en del eteriska oljor, så vilken du än använder kommer att innehålla några, men inte alla, av oljans egenskaper, och du kommer att få några av de fördelar som du skulle få om du använde den respektive oljan.

Hydrosoler har ett mycket annorlunda pH än vatten; de är alltid antingen något sura, som lavendel, eller mycket sura, som cistros. Cistros, på grund av sin extrema surhet, är mycket sammandragande och kommer att dra ihop cellerna där den appliceras. Detta betyder att den är användbar för att stoppa blödning; den är också utmärkt för att strama upp porer och minska rynkor.

Lavendel, med ett nästan neutralt pH, kan vara ett bättre val om ett sår innehåller smuts eller var, eftersom den lättare kan skölja bort skräp från såret, då cellerna förblir öppna och blödningen hjälper till att rengöra såret."

Sätt att använda hydrosoler

1. Spraya outspädd hydrosol över hela kroppen som en snabb uppfräschning, för att kyla ner kroppstemperaturen eller stimulera cirkulationen, för att minska påverkan och skador från solens exponering, som en deodorant eller som en subtil parfym.

2. Använd outspädda hydrosoler för att göra dina egna våtservetter, för både vuxnas och barns personliga hygien (Romersk kamomill är perfekt för spädbarn och barn).

3. Använd som handspray för att förhindra spridning av bakterier under förkylningssäsongen, eller när du reser och exponeras för betydligt fler bakterier än hemma.

4. Behandla hudåkommor som eksem, dermatit, psoriasis och klåda från giftig murgröna. Använd flera små appliceringar per dag, en allmän regel är minst tre och upp till tolv små lokala appliceringar per dag, varje dag tills symtomen försvinner.

5. Hydrosoler kan kraftigt lindra klåda, smärta och rodnad i huden vid till exempel eksem. De kan bromsa fjällningsprocessen och påskynda läkningen.

Det är mycket viktigt att du köper ekologiska hydrosoler utan konserveringsmedel!
