Essential Oil Extractions
Essential oils are used extensively in aromatherapy and various traditional medicines. Due to the numerous health benefits of essential oils, they are increasingly being explored by the scientific community for the treatment of a variety of diseases including cancer, HIV, asthma, bronchitis, heart strokes, and many more.
There are more than 90 essential oils, and each has its own health benefits. Most essential oils blend well with other essential oils in terms of function and odour, which allows herbalists to prepare a vast repertoire of aromatic essential oil combinations.
Essential oils can be extracted via two key methods: Distillation (includes hydro distillation) and Expression.
Absolutes, the other hand, can be extracted via Solvent extraction or Enfleurage, although Enfleurage is rarely performed in the modern day.
