Altevita DIGESTION BALANCE blend of bio hydrolats 200 ml

Product detailed description

They work on a different principle than essential oils, since some of their components are hydrophilic, meaning water-soluble. These components are preserved only in hydrolats (not in essential oils) and are easily absorbed by the human body. Hydrolats also contain more organic acids, which are credited with an anti-inflammatory effect. Hydrolats have an acidic pH and therefore prevent bacterial growth. They are also recommended as a dietary supplement, as their effect is stronger than that of dried herbs.

100% organic hydrolats are among the purest herbal preparations, with a wide range of uses - in the kitchen, in cosmetics production, in baby care, for therapeutic purposes, and for detoxification and activating metabolism. They are very gentle and kind to the human body.  

All hydrolats are made without preservatives or additives. Hydrolats do not contain alcohol.

Bloating – Nausea – Stomach discomfort  

Ingredients: 100% organic water distillate from peppermint leaves (Mentha piperita), hyssop flowers and leaves (Hyssopus officinalis) and fennel fruits (Foeniculum vulgare) from organic farming in Slovakia

Effects of the hydrolat:

Stimulation of pancreatic secretion – digestive problems, metabolic difficulties, motion sickness, loss of appetite, nausea

Antispasmodic effects – intestinal colic, acute abdominal pain

Gastritis - inflammation of the stomach

Gastric and duodenal ulcers

Irritable bowel syndrome

Oesophageal reflux – associated with heartburn, frequent burping, a feeling of nausea

Carminative and digestive – bloating, flatulence, vomiting

Metabolic stimulant – suitable for speeding up metabolism

Distractedness, problems with concentration, loss of motivation, loss of appetite (problems that are mostly related to how digestion functions, since the gut and brain are connected)

For all the above-mentioned conditions, we recommend internal use as well as all the below-mentioned options for use on the skin.

The main cause of digestive problems is most often poor eating habits – irregular meals, eating quickly under stress and generally leading a hectic lifestyle, etc. Alongside taking the hydrolat, we recommend reducing consumption of processed and preserved foods and ready-made meals, including as many fresh ingredients and as much fibre as possible in your diet, using healthy fats in the kitchen, always allowing yourself enough time to eat and not doing any other activities while eating (watching TV, using your phone, etc.). Also reduce coffee and alcohol intake while increasing your fluid intake. Any form of relaxation will also improve your digestion.

Recommended internal use: 3 times daily, 1 teaspoon in 100 ml of water/drink (children – half the dose). We recommend a 40-day course. After a 5-day break, a further course can be started if needed.

External use: Direct application to the skin, a compress on the stomach area, freshening the air and inhalation. Before use on the skin, carry out a tolerance test.

Contraindications: Not suitable for children under 3 years of age (applies only to internal use) and during pregnancy.

Uses of hydrolats

In the kitchen

Hydrolats can be added to drinks, smoothies, fruit or vegetable juices, sorbets and ice creams. They are excellent for flavouring salads and sauces, especially spicy hydrolats such as oregano, fennel, rosemary or sage.

Wellness and cosmetics

Hydrolats also make a great facial toner, with a wide choice available - according to skin type. They are also suitable for making cosmetics - clay masks, creams, soaps. Hydrolats can also be used as a steam bath for cleansing the skin, as a compress for tired eyes or after a demanding working day, you can spray hydrolat onto the body and relieve stress while refreshing the body. They are suitable for cleansing and treating the skin, as part of skin care after sun exposure.

Creating atmosphere

Hydrolats do not always have the same scent as the essential oil from a given herb, but they can also be used in aroma lamps or simply sprayed into the room.

Care for infants and young children

Hydrolats are a great help in caring for the skin of infants and young children. They are very gentle and mild. They are also more suitable (compared to 100% essential oils) during pregnancy and breastfeeding, for older and sensitive individuals, and for those who are sensitive to strong scents.

Internal use

Hydrolats are also used for therapeutic purposes, internally to activate metabolism and support detoxification, for respiratory and digestive issues, and so on.

External use

Hydrolats can be used as warm or cold compresses, foot baths, or sitz baths. They can also be applied with a spray directly onto the affected area.

Warning: Hydrolats may cause allergic reactions. Before use, make sure you are not allergic to any of the herbs or their components. For external use, test the product on a small area of skin on the forearm.

The use and consumption of hydrolats is not a substitute for medical examination and treatment in the case of serious illness.

Before using hydrolats, pay attention to any contraindications. Internal use of hydrolats is generally recommended from 3 years of age, unless stated otherwise.

Hydrolats are a valuable therapeutic tool that you can incorporate into your everyday life.
