ingredients
100% organic carrot hydrosol.
history
the carrot, from the umbellifer family (Apiaceae), is first and foremost a plant before being a vegetable. While the root is the most well-known part in cooking, the rest should not be overlooked.
Less commonly used, the seeds are distilled to obtain essential oil and hydrosol, which are beneficial for their properties on the skin and the hepatic-renal system.
The essential oil is rare and rarely used, except for a few skin conditions. Wild carrot hydrosol is a hypertonic and energising aromatic drink that mainly targets the liver.
Known for its regenerative properties, wild carrot hydrosol is traditionally used to cleanse and support healthy liver function. A liver regenerator and purifier, it is the perfect ingredient in a detox treatment to help you get through winter and seasonal changes.
Properties
- liver regenerator: wild carrot hydrosol is a great protector of the liver. It acts on the regeneration of liver cells and stimulates hepatorenal function. It improves digestion and relieves tired or overworked livers.
- purifying: hydrosol stimulates liver, bile and kidney function, with a mild draining action. It facilitates the elimination of toxins. It is an ally in detox treatments, especially in spring.
- skin regenerator: carrot hydrosol promotes skin cell growth and renewal. It is also anti-inflammatory and helps to relieve certain skin conditions.
- neurotonic: a supportive action on the nervous system has been observed, linked to its overall regenerating effect. It can help during periods of loss of confidence or nervousness.
health use
this hydrosol has a distinct earthy taste and regenerates the liver and gallbladder, which can help lower cholesterol. It is also believed to have diuretic properties.
As a healthy detox drink, add five tablespoons to 1.5 litres of water to drink throughout the day to cleanse the liver and gallbladder. It is best combined with equal parts rosemary and mint hydrosols to make it easier to drink if you don't like the taste.
This treatment helps the body eliminate toxins. It can also be useful in cases of high blood pressure.
An ally in weight loss, carrot hydrosol is recommended as part of a cleansing treatment or weight loss programme.
other uses
- beauty
its anti-inflammatory properties help to soothe redness and irritation. When used externally, it can help skin prone to inflammation (psoriasis, eczema).
A revitalising active ingredient, wild carrot hydrosol revives dull skin, tightens tissue and soothes irritated or couperose skin. Soothing, it relieves skin discomfort.
It is used to prepare treatments for dull skin, which it clarifies and tones. It is popular in wellness treatments.
Wild carrot hydrosol is used in facial cleansing lotions, in synergy with lavender, chamomile, cedar, marjoram, rosehip, rosemary and rose hydrosols. It is recommended for tired or acne-prone skin and for certain skin conditions.
- well-being
wild carrot hydrosol helps the body adapt to seasonal changes, both energetically and emotionally. It brings a sense of stability and helps you live in the present moment (emotional disorders linked to liver fatigue).
As a room spray, it soothes temperaments in search of reassurance and security due to a lack of self-confidence.
Cooking
In cooking, it adds an aromatic touch. Added to raw soups, carrot hydrosol offers a delicious earthy flavour. In raw vegetables, it flavours salad dressings (carrots with lemon, fennel, courgette, black radish) and adds a hint of vegetable broth.
nelly grosjean's light warm soup: in a slightly salted infusion of sage and garlic, add five tablespoons of carrot hydrosol per litre of broth. Ideal with purgatives and purges, or as a light, cleansing broth on Sunday evenings.
precautions
hydrosols are sensitive to contamination. Store them in a cool place, away from light and heat. If you notice a deposit similar to suspended dust, filter the hydrosol using a paper filter. If fermentation occurs (change in appearance or smell), do not use the product.
Before consuming hydrosol orally, read the contraindications and strictly adhere to the recommended dosages. If in doubt, please consult us.
