A copper alembic still is chosen for distilling hydrosols because the copper binds sulfates during the process, creating a sweeter smelling products. I enjoy the beauty of working with this metal and a handcrafted still. I feel it also imparts the invigorating and healing qualities of copper. Distilling plants to form a hydrosol captures the essence of the plant into a form we readily soak up through our skin - aromatic and medicinal. #hydrosol #herbs #herbalism #homestead #desert #plants
