Please remember to store your precious hydrosols under refrigeration. True, natural hydrosol contain no preservatives so should be treated as perishable. We store them under refrigeration, and do our best to maintain sterility while rebottling, however if you plan on using any of these healing waters internally, we suggest you pasteurize them before use. Filtering through a fine filter (a coffee filter works beautifully) and slowly heating just to a very slow boil should insure sterility without damaging the healing elements.

Clary Sage Hydrosol

Salvia sclaria, Cert. Organic, USA

The distiller sent me a sample of this delightful herbal water, and we had to have more. Then, after falling in love with it, of course I needed to learn what to use it for.

Gentle and delicious, tasting the way Bergamot essential oil smells, and reminiscent of Earl Grey Tea, Clary hydrosol is delicious added to ice water for a refreshing drink. I'm told it's another ingredient in May Wine (in addition to the better known sweet woodruff.)

Like the essential oil, Clary Sage hydrosol is a mood elevator. I would like to see it used with peppermint hydrosol (or alone) as a remedy for hot flashes.

Suzanne Catty recommends the internal use of Clary Sage Hydrosol for treating a range of PMS related difficulties...cramps, bloating, water retention, moodiness... as well as for treating menopausal symptoms. She also recommends using clary sage hydrosol during childbirth...a compress of eight ounces of the hydrosol, with three drops of Clary Sage oil and three drops of Blue Tansy oil (tanecetum anuum)... use as a warm compress on abdomen or lower back for relieving the pain of contractions.

For skincare, Catty recommends blending with peppermint, rose, or geranium hydrosol as a gently astringent toner. Price states that it is both astringent and antiseptic, suitable for treating acne and very oily skin.  She writes that it also improves the appearance of mature and inflamed skin.

Shirley and Len Price recommend gargling with Clary Sage Hydrosol to soothe and heal a sore throat.  They also recommend it as an aid against hot flashes, during menopause.
