Vitex Hydrosol
Vitex Hydrosol is pleasant, crisp and rather sweet. At times, I find that it seems to have a slightly mint note to it.
Botanical Name
Vitex agnus-castus
Aromatic Strength
Medium
Shelf Life
Up to 2 years if stored properly (refrigeration is recommended).
Reported Properties, Uses and Applications
Little is documented about Vitex Hydrosol, but it is definitely considered a "woman's" hydrosol. It's often recommended in place of the stronger and more volatile Vitex Essential Oil for use with PMS and balancing the hormones.
Safety Information
Due to its potential effect on the hormones, pregnant women should avoid its use. Read AromaWeb's Hydrosol Safety Guidelines.
