Aromatherapy Distillation Equipments

Aromatherapy is a science of healing, relaxing and rejuvenating.



This is achieved by massaging the essential oils of selective herbs onto the skin. This is where the significance of aromatherapy distillation equipments and the process to extract these divine oils comes into existence. Selecting the right kind of distillation equipment for a particular herb is very crucial. Freshly yielded materials are used in distillation.



There are some exceptions where the distillation is easier if the plants are dry. E.g. peppermint is easier to distill; the distillation will also be shorter. Ylang Ylang needs to be distilled immediately, to avoid fermentation and loss of fragrance.



The seeds of anise, fennel, stocked in good conditions are easier to conserve than their essential oils.

Distillation is performed at low temperature and pressure. Pure spring water and stainless steel equipment is utilized for optimum cleanliness. This will also prevent coloring of the essential oils, lavender distilled in old cupper alembics can turn into a red colored essential oil.
