Michelia champaca L.
(Magnoliaceae) commonly known as Champa wild in the eastern sub-Himalayan tract
and lower hills up to 3,000 ft. and found in Assam, Burma, South India. The
plant is a handsome, evergreen shrub. Leaves 15- 25 by 5-9 cm., lanceolate,
acute, entire, glabrous; petioles 18-25mm long. Flowers about 5-6.2 cm.
diameter, very fragrant, greyish yellow pubescent. Sepals and petals 15 or more
deep yellow or orange. Grey or brownish bark. Seeds 1-12, brown, polished,
variously angled, rounded on the back. Michelia champaca L. is a
medicinal and ornamental plant cultivated in home gardens and near temples for
its scented, attractive and massive pale colored flowers. Besides, being an
ornamental plant, its various parts are medicinally used in the treatment of
different human ailments.
Also known as hydrosols, floral
waters are actually a by-product of the steam distillation process used to
capture essential oils. During a normal essential oil distillation process, the
steam containing the oils is cooled to turn it into water, and the essential
oils floating on top are skimmed off and bottled. The remaining water is
considered floral water! Any floral water contains water, water-soluble components
of the plant, and trace amounts of the essential oil. This unique composition
lends each floral water a full spectrum of the essence and properties of the
botanical material from which it was derived. Though they are most often called
floral waters, hydrosols can be produced from any plant matter like herbs,
needles, leaves, woods, barks, and seeds.
Floral waters have many valuable
uses in beauty, skincare, haircare, and household products. At Venkatramna
Industries, we offer wide range of floral waters for a variety of product
applications. They can be sold as pure floral waters to be used as sprays and
spritzers, or they can be strategically blended with other ingredients to
create versatile consumer products.
