Chamomille Hydrosol, how to use it in 10 easy DIY for beauty and health
Everybody heard about Rose floral water (or hydrosol), I wrote a long time ago about rose hydrosol in this post…I also wrote about pepermint hydrosol and these are marvels of nature….
But chamomille hydrosol is probably less famous…however it has so many benefits…for our beauty…and our health!
Yesterday popped back in my mind….as soon as I woke up my eyes were on fire…it was exactly as if I was back from a journey in the desert in the middle of a sand storm. My eyes were burning badly.
Why I never use eye drops from drugstore
I never buy eye drops since I learned it contains mercury…which is a neurotoxic ingredient…
By putting mercury into your eyes…your drops…and mercury with it… are gaining the optic nerve very easily…and the optic nerve is directly connected to the brain …
I prefer to stay away from that kind of trouble.
How I soothed and cured my eyes inflammation in 12 hours is my DIY # 1
Simply soack a cotton pad with organic chamomille hydrosol ( free of any preservative), lean your head back, apply the cotton pad on your closed eyelid (with clean hands of course), press it very gently, remove the cotton pad and open your eye…the hydrosol will enter on your eye. Repeat on the other eye.
This process can be repeated 3 to 5 times a day…
It is not adviced to use on injured eye. If your eye is inflammed due to your contact lenses or any injury, please consult a eye doctor. Some injuries are damaging the cornea and will need stronger cure. It needs to be checked first!!!
DIY # 2: Soothing and anti inflammatory benefit for your skin
Sensitive skins, allergic skins or skins presenting red patches will be largely helped by chamomille hydrosol.
Use hydrosol in a spray bottle or apply with a cotton pad….as simple as that!!!
This will sooth and calm your skin thanks to chamomille hydrosol’s anti inflammatory properties.
