Forest Bath Hydrosol
Shelf Life: 1 year [bottled 11/24/23] No preservatives added. Store in a cool dry place. Best stored in the refrigerator.
This hydrosol is special. I crafted this one completely out in “the field”, and made a true tree essence of the Coastal Redwood Forest. This hydrosol includes 4 individually distilled trees, combined into a synergistic mix of the forest! This hydrosol is made up of Redwood, Red Cedar, Bay Laurel, and Juniper.
***Magickal BonusI *** I worked with this hydrosol as the Moon transited in Taurus on November 24th. This particular astrological election [Ancient Astrology paradigm] boasted an exalted Moon conjunct Jupiter in Taurus and a looser conjunct [8*] to the North Node in Aires. Saturn trines the Moon/NN/Jupiter conjunction in Taurus and Mercury in Sagittarius trines an exalted Venus in Libra! There is also a Sun / Mars conjunction in Sagittarius throwing an inconjunct towards the Moon which is not counted. In the Ancient Astrology paradigm, we do not look at the trans-Saturnian planets and we also look at the ancient Grimoires of the time. For me, it is the Picatrix among others. This states that the Moon should be close to an angle, in this instance it’s the AC, not afflicted by a malefic [it’s not].
I found a small tributary creek to the Smith River in the Redwood National Forest and set up my outdoor workspace. I paid special attention to ensuring I was first introducing myself and my lineage to the Spirits of the land, asking for permission, making Hape and Sage offerings, and thanking them with gratitude. I also let them know that the medicine will go to those who need it and that the material will run much further out to the world. They seemed to be happy with that! Everything went swimmingly! Hail exalted Luna, Hail spirits of the Redwood National Forest, river, streams, and trees!

Hydrosols vs Essential Oils: How are they different?
Simply put, the hydrosol is a water-based product, while the essential oil is… well, oil! A hydrosol contains the plant’s hydrophilic (water-loving) components, while the essential oil contains its lipophilic (fat-loving) components. They do contain small amounts of essential oil, but not enough to where the oil will separate and float to the top (you don’t have to shake a hydrosol before using it). Hydrosols are not distilled water with added essential oils! Many products are being offered that are not authentically hydrosols!
In her book, Hydrosols: The Next Aromatherapy, author Suzanne Catty says:
“Hydrosols Contain All Of The Plant In Every Drop…
Here We Have The Water-Soluble Components, The Essential Oil Molecules, The Very Fluid That Was Flowing Through The Plant Cells When The Plant Was Collected. It’s All There In A Matrix Of Water That Is So Much More Than Water…”
