It is quite obvious that the energy with which you prepare your products is one-of-a-kind. Yes, the hydrosols are wonderful, but equally wonderful are their energetic qualities.

Welcome to the world of Dabney Rose Hydrosols and Sweet Water Distillery. I have been a distiller for over twenty years, and we think about distilling a little differently here; by choosing to focus on how 'fine' we can get rather than how 'much' we can get from a batch. I do not remove any oil!

We believe this thinking starts way back in the beginning with organically raised seeds and plants. We believe the energetic's of all processes concerned have an impact on the final product.

Our first choice of still pots is the glass flask given to me by my father over 20 years ago. When this is not appropriate, we have a stainless steel pot fitted with a long copper elbow, connected to a coiled glass condenser. We change our distilling techniques, depending on the part of the plant we are 'transforming'.

We harvest our plants at the time of day/night when the energy is highest in the flower or leaf. We feel (and have been told!) our garden is teeming with joyful nature spirits. The whole enterprise is a love affair with fragrance and nature.

My hydrosols are always in glass, from the ‘catch’ bottle to your cobalt blue spray bottle. I feel that plactic compromises a hydrosol just as much as it would an Essential Oil. They do not make long journeys from overseas to warehouse to shop, to your door. They are Artisan Distilled in the Ozark hills.

Like a fine wine, 'Sweet Water' Artisan Hydrosols are 'limited editions'. There will only be so much Rose centifolia 2008. They will also vary from year to year, depending largely on the weather conditions. Sadly, many 'waters' that are on the market today are produced at least partially in labs and have the same, inert, harsh smell. Know your source!

Our batches are small and intimate. Our distillates are exquisite. You are not buying a hydrosol; you are buying a dabney rose.

"Congratulations on the lovely work you are doing.
A true distiller in the highest sense of the word.
Very few people are doing any genuine distillation work here in the USA.
The raspberry hydrosol is incredible."

Christopher McMahon

"Her methods are old school. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to
find a large scale company following the same level of craftsmanship."
from The Ozark Star

" I like quality and good energetics in a product. I had
the pleasure of trying Dabney's Rose Hydrosol product recently and am
absolutely delighted with it. It smells absolutely heavenly. One of its most remarkable characteristics is the energy it imparts when used.
I would go so far as to say it feels like receiving
energy healing when used. It is one of the most impressive products of
its type I have ever had the pleasure to use."
Patrick Ray, CNC

How do we use hydrosols????

I have come to learn that the most delightful way to experience hydrosols is to add a bit to your drinking water. They expand to allow your taste buds access to every nuance. The choices are limitless when you start combining them, and look at how much water we should drink! Add a bit of lemon verbena and you not only have a quite enjoyable drink, but a medicinal one as well.
As I am usually cold in nature I drink a lot of cardamomYum. I also depend on them when my energy dips into sore throats,etc. I use lemon thyme or echinacea to support my immune system, rose or rose geranium to balance hormones, wild carrot for detox, yarrow or frankincense to slow down my cycle,...whenever you would use dried herbs or a tea, hydrosols add more punch and tast infinitelyy better!
