Bright and lemony, almost peppery. This supply has yellow globs of essential oil bobbing around on the surface. I was at the distiller getting a few things, opened and smelled this and could not leave without it.

The essential oil is a sedative and fever reducer, anti-viral and a digestive aid that reduces the appetite. The essential oil is very expensive, this hydrosol is worth using as a replacement where you can. Try adding the hydrosol to a babies bath for the fever reducing and sedating effects. Add a tablespoon to a tea and increase the relaxation and centering that some of us get from a mug of our favorite. A good gargle or mouthwash to use after dental surgery, it’s anti-inflammatory and clean tasting. Slightly acidic and makes a nice skin toner or aftershave. The smell is not floral or fruity. It would be interesting to use in foods, maybe to thin a pan sauce after sauteing fish.
