Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) Hydrosol - 'Olena Root

This Turmeric Hydrosol is made from the rhizomes of organically grown Hawaiian Red Turmeric, which we call 'olena.

This plant invites us to reassess and reduce our reactivity, inspiring a grounded state of being that allows us to adapt to change more readily. Turmeric knows that the seasons of life are always in movement, and seeks to anchor us deeply so that these shifts do not result in emotional turmoil. The stabilizing quality of Turmeric strengthens the systems of the body, and is used in some spiritual practices to banish malicious energies and invoke spiritual protection. (I use it as an ingredient in my Blessed as F*** spiritual cologne for this purpose.)

Turmeric Hydrosol can act as a gentle digestive aid, especially to bring comfort after over indulgence or a big meal. I add a tablespoon to a glass of water or tea when I feel "too full", or have an upset stomach.

This hydrosol can also be used in your skin care routine. Turmeric Hydrosol makes a hydrating anti-inflammatory facial mist that may help to reduce redness or puffiness. Use it as a soothing anti-inflammatory facial toner, or incorporate it into your homemade skin care products and facial masks.
