Hydrosol is term used to refer to the by-product derived from the distillation process when producing essential oils and is sometimes referred to as floral waters. Hydrosols contain the colloidal suspensions of the essential oil as well as water-soluble components but in a milder form (0.02%) which makes them suitable for all manner of applications where essential oils would be too strong.

Paula –
Witch Hazel can also be used as an eye wash. I recently suffered a run of styes in my eyes and after several attempts to rid myself of them with prescribed antibiotics, to no avail, I returned to Witch Hazel as I remember Mum used to
rinse our eyes with it as kids. I searched the web for info as to what strength or dilution I should use but found nothing except that the North American Indians traditionally also used it for eye irritations. So at first I diluted it with sterile water which helped a little but didn’t clear the stye. Then finally tryed just dabbing it directly on to the stye with a washed dried finger and it worked a treat! Twice a day for 3/4 days and it’s gone.
