This day is for anyone who wants to learn about distilling plants using a copper alembic still and is suitable for those wanting to learn more about the healing properties of hydrosols from beginners to herbal professionals.

We will cover the basic practicalities of distilling, how you might use hydrosols and the specific properties of some of the more commonly used ones.

(Due to this being the middle of rose season we will hopefully be distilling rosewater for this class.)

You will smell and taste various hydrosols and compare their characteristics, their energetic and healing properties.

You will learn what hydrosols can be used for and how to take them for your pleasure and healing as well as the history of distilling plants and why one would distil a plant rather than use a tincture or infusion.

Cost : £110 including lunch, refreshments and a bottle of the hydrosol that we have distilled during the day.

This day is limited to a maximum of 5 people to enable you to get the full benefit from group interactions and to allow space for discussion and questions. My teaching style is informal and friendly.
