We have all heard at some point in our lives about floral water, but do you know what it is, how it is prepared, what it is used for or what kind of benefits it brings us? In this blog I will try to answer all the questions you may have about this wonderful product. What is a floral water? A floral water or also called hydrolates, are aromatic waters that are obtained by steam distillation of different parts of plants and flowers. Through this same process of distillation essential oils are obtained. What are the differences, if any, between floral water and hydrolate? The reality is that floral water belongs to the family of hydrolates. Which are all those that go through a steam distillation process where the only ingredient is purified water and the petals and stems of the flowers from which the aroma is intended to be extracted. Floral water, which uses flowers exclusively, is part of this great family. What benefits are obtained from the use of floral water? Although floral waters are less powerful than essential oils, they have many dermatological virtues thanks to their soothing, purifying and refreshing properties for the skin.

In times of suffocation or stress, its use on the skin of the face can give you peace of mind due to what is considered its calming property. As if all these benefits were not enough, rose water provides antioxidant properties to the skin. It is highly recommended for skin with acne or rosacea. Lavender Water Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, tonic or lavender water helps fight the bacteria that cause the famous acne. It can also be used to reduce wrinkles on the skin of the face, neck and hands. It can be used in the care of wounds and minor burns. It is recommended to soothe itchy skin caused by insect bites or minor allergies. Another of its most common uses is in Cosmetology. It is sometimes recommended for the treatment of eczema.

Matcha is a powdered green tea, famous throughout the world for its many health benefits. But what are those benefits that make it so special? I say to you! Matcha tea has 5 times more L-theanine than any other tea. But what is L-theanine? It is an amino acid that stimulates alpha waves in the human brain, helping concentration and inducing a state of calm and relaxation. It is also healthy rich in caffeine (theophylline) that helps you maintain high energy production throughout the day. Other benefits of matcha tea are: * Helps relaxation * Great source of antioxidants * Prevents and supports cancer * Helps you lose weight * Improve your brain health * Detoxify your body * Increase your energy performance How should matcha tea be consumed? It is recommended that matcha tea be consumed directly in hot water at about 80f warm not in the herbal state, in this way it preserves its properties better, add a teaspoon of matcha to a cup of water and mix well, do not add any type of sweetener. With the passage of time, the way of consuming matcha has evolved and it is also enjoyed in latte. It is also added directly to coffee, but this form is not recommended for everyone as matcha tea contains a high level of caffeine and may be too much for some people. I personally consume it latte, here is my recipe: * 1 cup unsweetened almond milk * 1 tablespoon of amaretto cream * 1/2 tablespoon of Matcha * 1 pinch of pure stevia powder Process: Mix well the matcha, almond milk and amaretto cream, you can serve yourself with a small hand mixer once ready, serve it in your cup of choice and sprinkle the stevia in the delicious foam at the top of the cup and enjoy.
