Notes: Hydrosol
 * redirect from hydrolat plant water essence
 * use in aromatherapy
 * original: The water recondensed from the distillation process is referred to as a hydrosol, hydrolat, or plant water essence, which may be sold as another fragrant product. Popular hydrosols are rose water, lavender water, and orange blossom water. Many plant hydrosols have unpleasant smells and are therefore not sold.
 * from Aromatherapy: Hydrosols: The aqueous by-products of the distillation process (e.g. rosewater). Hydrosol used are limited to plants such as rose and camomile since most hydrosols have unpleasant smells.

A hydrosol or hydrolat is an aqueous solution of compounds left over from distillation, created in the production of essential oils. The hydrophobic essential oils separate from the hydrophillic hydrosols and are drained from the bottom of the cucurbit.
