Organic Lavender Aromatic Mist Monograph

Aqua Lavandulae — Formula Quietis

I. Description
A calming hydrosol distilled from Lavandula angustifolia flowers.
Long valued for its ability to ease tension, balance skin flora, and settle the nervous system, this aromatic water restores harmony between body and mind.

II. Composition
Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) — calming, restorative, antimicrobial, nervine relaxant.

III. Indications
Irritated or sensitive skin; emotional agitation; sleeplessness; mental fatigue; transitional times of stress.

IV. Materia Medica Notes
Lavender’s distillate carries both volatile and aqueous components — soothing inflammation on the surface while softening agitation within.
Inhaling its herbaceous-floral scent slows the pulse and steadies breath; its trace esters and monoterpenols help reduce microbial load while preserving the skin’s natural balance.
Once used in Roman baths and monastic infirmaries, its water remains a quiet restorative for weary systems.

V. Application
Spritz lightly over face, body, or treatment space to induce calm and restore balance.
Use post-cleansing, before rest, or whenever composure is needed.

VI. Safety
For external use only. Keep sealed and store below 25 °C away from sunlight. Use within 6–9 months of opening.

Apothecary’s Summary
A floral water of tranquillity —
softening surface and spirit alike,
balancing the day’s exertion with quiet repose.
