Cupressus sempervirens has
an important place in traditional system of medicine; therefore, many
pharmacological studies have been done on various part of the plant (Figure 5).
The dried cones and young branches are used as anti-anthelmintic, antipyretic,
antirheumatic, antiseptic, astringent, balsamic, vasoconstrictive and
antifungal. They are taken internally for the treatment of whooping cough, the
spitting up of blood, spasmodic coughs, colds, flu and sore throats. Paste of
cones and young branches applied externally for tightening up the blood vessels
in haemorrhoids. A foot bath of the cones is used to clean the feet and counter
excessive sweating. It is also used as antiseptic, deodorant and diuretic
effects, to promote venous circulation to the kidneys and bladder area and
finally to improve bladder tone and as a coadjutant in therapy of urinary
incontinence and enuresis.
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.
