Aromatic Waters

Aromatic waters are also known as medicated waters. They
are dilute, usually saturated, aqueous solutions of volatile
oils or volatile substances. Some of them have a mild therapeutic
action but mainly they are used as flavoring agents in
preparations meant for internal administration of drugs. Aromatic
waters may be prepared either by diluting the concentrated
waters or by shaking the volatile substances with water.
Aromatic waters include anise water, camphor water, chloroform
water, cinnamon water and peppermint water.
