A New Product, Hydrosols & Biodynamics..
From the lush, cooling plants of Spring comes Vernal Pool, to refresh, dissolve stagnation and curtail inflammation.
A crisp, lymph loving and break out curbing plant resin lends its addictive scent to this dewy co-distillation.
Plants fresh from my Biodynamically cultivated gardens and land are carefully distilled as primary product plant waters. Meaning the trace essential oil component isnāt removed and the hydrosol isnāt a secondary product of said EO distillation. Also, depending on the plant, Iāll choose either a hydro or steam distillation, or sometimes, a combination of both.
Often I see definitions of hydrosols as being produced by steam distillation. However, thereās much more nuance and finesse to the process, beginning with first of all, intimate knowledge of the plants, as well as what the distiller intends to achieve.
Though my little farm and business is too small and diversely planted to make Demeter certification feasible, I do use the BD preps, not just in a rote, one size fits all manner. Rudolf Steiner never intended that. The agriculture courses were given as a way to plumb the inner secrets of nature and the cosmos ( depending on devotion to the work), to be as a conscious individual developing the unique individuality of the farm. In turn the farm becomes sentient, in a manner of speaking.
Additionally I work with #gotheanplantscience , which was the basis for how visionary Steiner developed his unique manner and esoteric content.
Reverence for and learning about the elemental beings who hold together what we experience as physical Nature, is another aspect of my personal BD path. Biodynamics is a path of consciousness, not just substances to spray on the land for better soil. Though that happens, too! š
