Wildcrafted Tulsi Hydrosol | Limited Edition

Limited Edition | Summer Harvest | Wildcrafted
Available now in limited quantities for the summer only!

The newest hydrosol was steam-distilled from fresh, hand-harvested Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) growing wild in Hands Organic founder Wendy's pollinator garden at the height of summer bloom. Distilled the same day it was picked, this seasonal hydrosol carries the vibrant, herbaceous energy of the plant: balancing, cooling, and calming.

Scent: warm and clove-like, with subtle hints of citrus and mint

Cultural History, Aromatic & Emotional Benefits
In Ayurveda, Tulsi (Holy Basil) is revered as the “Queen of Herbs” and honored in daily rituals for its ability to restore balance and vitality. Its Sanskrit name, tulasī (तुलसी), meaning “incomparable” or “peerless,” reflects the high esteem in which it’s held. With a fresh, green, and slightly spicy aroma, Tulsi is both grounding and uplifting, easing mental fatigue, clearing the mind, and encouraging a calm, focused energy.

From Garden to Bottle
This bottle holds a piece of summer, harvested in full bloom, and distilled slowly in a copper still over several hours. It’s a once-per-season distillation, and each bottle is part of that fleeting moment. That’s why it’s priced a little differently: it carries the weight of the work, and the gift of the bloom.

Why are there small particles in my bottle?
Because this hydrosol was distilled directly from fresh, wildcrafted bee balm flowers in a traditional copper still, you may notice tiny suspended particles or a shimmering effect in the bottle. These are natural, harmless plant compounds that contribute to the aroma and benefits of the hydrosol. The batch has been properly preserved and refrigerated for freshness.
