Homeopathy and Hydrosols 

Homeopathics are the vibrational, or subtle, edge of the spectrum of holistic healing. Treatment follows many of the concepts of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine  in that the client is considered a whole and sickness is seen as an imbalance of the terrain as opposed to a disease to be eradicated. So it is that I look at hydrosols as the equivalent of a homeopathic version of essential oils.

Gentle and safe in their pure state, highly effective in extremely low dilutions, and with few contraindications or safety precautions, hydrosols are the subtle, constitutional form of aromatherapy.

Although homeopathy was originally conceived of as a constitutional healing mechanism, it has been some years since the concept was "invented," and there are now as many schools of practice  in this modality as in aromatherapy. It is interesting to note that Hahnemann, in " proving" some of his remedies, turned to essential oils.

For him the only viable method of ingesting sufficient quantities of plant material to elicit the symptoms he wished to cure was to ingest oils. 

The analogy between hydrosols and homeopathy can be drawn further. Modern homeopathy allows both for the constitutional and the prophylactic or treatment-oriented use of remedies. For example, bronchitis is an imbalance in the system but it is also an infection, and there are many remedies that will "treat" bronchitis as an ailment while simultaneously balancing the constitution.

So it is with hydrosol therapy, for bronchitis, Inula, Eucalyptus globulus or E.polybractea, rosemary CT verbenone, oregano, tea tree, or winter savory hydrolates would all be appropriate. Chosen wisely and considering the nature of the individual, any of these could address the bronchitis while stimulating the body's natural immunity and overall function. In other words, the hydrosols act both constitutionally and specifically on our health.
