More information

Latin Name: Daucus Carota
Plant Part Used: Seeds
Origin: France

Wild Carrot, native to Europe, flourishes abundantly along roadsides and in meadows. Renowned for its liver-supporting and diuretic properties since the 16th century, this plant offers remarkable benefits through its distilled essence.

The essential oil is extracted from seeds harvested at the end of summer, just as the umbels naturally close in on themselves. Unlike other members of the umbellifer family, Daucus Carota stands out due to its unique composition rich in sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols. This gives it a bold, earthy, and woody aroma that carries the essence of nature’s resilience.

What truly sets Wild Carrot apart is the gentleness of its action and its complete lack of toxicity, making it suitable even for children.

External Use: Apply as a facial toner or cleansing mist to rejuvenate the skin and promote a healthy, luminous complexion.

Internal Use: Take three tablespoons daily for three weeks to naturally enhance radiance and support overall skin vitality.

You can use Wild Carrot Hydrosol in an aroma diffuser by replacing water with the hydrosol in a diffuser with a water tank (UltraSonic).

A little history

Origins and Botanical Background:
Wild Carrot is native to Europe and parts of Asia but has naturalized across North America and other regions. It thrives along roadsides, meadows, and open fields, often recognized by its delicate, lacy white flowers and distinctive carrot-like aroma.

Historical Uses:

Ancient Greece & Rome: The medicinal properties of Wild Carrot were noted as far back as Ancient Greece and Rome. The seeds were valued for their diuretic properties and used as a digestive aid. Greek physicians, such as Dioscorides and Hippocrates, mentioned its use for various ailments, including treating digestive issues, menstrual problems, and as a diuretic.

Middle Ages: During medieval times, Wild Carrot was widely used for its medicinal benefits, particularly for liver health, detoxification, and skin issues. It was believed to have cleansing and revitalizing effects.

16th Century Europe: Herbalists recognized its liver-supporting and diuretic properties, and it became popular for its ability to stimulate kidney and liver function. The plant’s therapeutic uses were documented in many herbals of the period.

Modern Era: Wild Carrot is now highly valued in aromatherapy and natural skincare, particularly for its regenerative and brightening properties. The seeds, flowers, and roots are all used for different purposes, but the hydrosol and essential oil are especially popular for skincare and detoxification.

Cultural Symbolism:
The name "Queen Anne's Lace" comes from folklore that likens the flower's intricate white pattern to lace. According to legend, Queen Anne, a skilled lace-maker, pricked her finger while working, and a single drop of blood fell onto her lace, represented by the tiny purple or dark red flower often found in the center of the bloom.

Top 3 Benefits for using Hydrosols

1. Gentle and Safe for All Skin Types: Hydrosols are mild and non-irritating, making them suitable for even the most sensitive skin. They maintain the essence of the plant in a less concentrated form than essential oils, offering soothing, hydrating, and toning benefits without the risk of irritation.

2. Versatile Usage: Hydrosols can be used in a variety of ways - as facial toners, in aromatherapy, as linen sprays, for wound care, or as ingredients in homemade skincare products. Their versatility extends to culinary uses, where food-grade hydrosols can flavor drinks, desserts, and dishes.

3. Therapeutic Properties: Despite their mild nature, hydrosols possess therapeutic properties that can benefit the mind, body, and soul. Depending on the plant they are derived from, they can have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, calming, or uplifting effects, among others, contributing to overall well-being.

How to use Hydrosols?

In Suzanne Catty's brilliant book "Hydrosols the Next Aromatherapy" she explains thoroughly all the benefits and the different ways of using hydrosols. I really recommend reading her book!

Here is what she writes:

"Hydrosols are mild but effective. They can be used undiluted without problems for most topical applications. In some ways you can treat them like water, for instance, to wash a cut or scrape, but it must be remembered that they differ from water in many ways. Hydrosols do contain some essential oils, so whichever one you use will contain some but not all of the properties of the oil, and you will receive some of the benefits that you would get if you used the respective oil.

Hydrosols have a very different pH than water; they are always either slightly acid, like lavender, or very acid, like rock rose. Rock rose, because of its extreme aciditity, is highly astringent and will constrict cells where it is applied. This means it is useful to stanch bleeding; it is also great for tightening pores and reducing wrinkles.

Lavender, with an almost neutral pH, may be better choice if a wound contains dirt or pus, since it can wash the debris out of the cut more easily, as the cells remain open and bleeding will help clean the wound."

Ways to use hydrosols

1. Spray undiluted hydrosols all over the body as a quick refresher, to cool the body temperature or stimulate circulation, to reduce the impact and damage of sun exposure, as a deodorant, or as a subtle perfume.

2. Use neat hydrosols to make your own wet wipes, for both adult and infant personal hygiene (Chamomile Roman is perfect for infants and kids)

3. Use as hand spray to prevent the spread of germs in cold season, or when you are traveling and are being exposed to far more germs than at home.

4. Treat skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and poison ivy. Use several small applications per day, the general rule would be no less than three and as many as twelve small localized applications per day, every day until symptoms resolve.

5. Hydrosols can greatly relieve the itching, pain, and redness of the skin in case of for instance eczema. They can slow down the flaking process and speed up the healing.

6. It is very important that you buy organic preservative-free hydrosols.
