Ledum Hydrosol
Ledum groenlandicum, Organic, Canada
Another new herbal water from Canada, Ledum groenlandicum, , often called Labrador Tea or Greenland Moss. Ledum
Hydrosol is said to be a powerful detoxifier, and a support to both the liver and the immune system. Also said to stimulate lymphatic circulation. May have
anti-inflammatory effects. Recommended for use during recuperation from major illness.
Like the rare essential oil that is its co-distillate, Ledum water is a powerful healers tool. We have only a limited amount.
(One client writes of using a spritz of ledum hydrosol on feet
and ankles to help ease Restless Leg Syndrome.)
Because of the strength of Ledum Hydrosol, we recommend avoiding its use during
pregnancy or with small children. If using internally, please use only
half as much as you would any other hydrosol. In fact, starting with a minute,
almost homeopathic, dose and building up gradually might be adviseable.
Jeanne Rose recommends the use of Ledum hydrosol to detoxify the liver as part
of a program of recovery from addictions and/or alcoholism, since, she claims,
to recover it is essential that the liver be detoxified.
