Pine Hydrosol
Pine Hydrosol
This hydrosol is a steam-extracted face and space tonic mist, a pure aromatic floral water from fresh harvested pine made in the traditional long and slow process using an alembic copper distiller.
Hydrosols are an under utiliized yet incredible remedy working on the physical and emotional planes. They are a cellular waters imbued with nutritious minerals, phytosterols, antioxidants, and countless other natural botanical chemicals to nourish the skin.
They contain the full spectrum of the plant’s benefits, both the essential oil and water based components and vibrate with its frequency of peace and story medicine.
The original stewards of this land I live on, the Abenaki, made tea from pine needles for its antioxidant and vitamin C rich medicine that among many things soothes and clears the lungs, the place where grief lives in our body, in turn healing that pain as well.
Evergreens have always symbolized immortality and eternal life since they retain their leaves through the dead of winter. To the Iroquois (the Haudenosaunee Nation) the White Pine is the symbol of their constitution with its cluster of five needles signifying the Great Peace, the uniting of five separate nations into enduring solidarity, and it's written that weapons would be buried under the Pine to seal peace agreements.
Trees are both anchored into the Earth and also reach upward towards the heavens, and are the intermediaries between the celestial and terrestrial, upper and lower worlds.
Pine speaks to me of community, of forgiveness, and deep wells of wisdom.
