The Origin of the Hydrosol Name
In 1990 while Jeanne Rose was on a driving trip through the wine country of Northern California, Jeanne looked at the fields of grapes, at the various vineyards, at the rows of vines and thought that it would be a lovely idea to grow Lavender interspersed in or on the edges of all the vineyards. The Lavender water of distillation which she called the hydrosol could be used in skin care as well as all sorts of other possibilities. After beginning a newsletter called the Lavender Plant Project, her interest grew to all aromatic plants and the possibility of locally produced essential oils and hydrosols. She renamed the organization in 1993, the Aromatic Plant Project and spent the next two years getting the organization recognized and obtaining non-profit status.
By 1990 she had already distilled Lemon Balm and Lemon Verbena on a small copper still and named the watery non-alcoholic distillate, the hydrosol, the first part of the distillate. Jeanne invented the word hydrosol as it was easy to say and easy to remember. She says, "'Hydro' means water and 'sol' means solution. Thus the word hydrosol means the watery solution of the distillation that contains both the water-soluble plant components and micro-drops of essential oil -- the hydrosol."
