Comments on: What are the 5 Steps to Distilling Essential Oils? http://www.essential-oils-tdr.com/what-are-the-5-steps-to-distilling-essential-oils/ It's All About Essential Oils Tue, 22 May 2012 10:56:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Tuesday Smith http://www.essential-oils-tdr.com/what-are-the-5-steps-to-distilling-essential-oils/comment-page-1/#comment-871 Tuesday Smith Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:41:47 +0000 http://www.essential-oils-tdr.com/what-are-the-5-steps-to-distilling-essential-oils/#comment-871 It's exciting that you're getting into e.o. distillation, but it won't save you money. You need a distiller, which will not be cheap (even a tabletop still is over $100), and you will need large amounts of fresh botanicals to produce small amounts of essential oils. I can't imagine what the 5 steps would be.. are you talking about five steps in using a still (there are more than 5)? If you are, check out this website: http://www.crucible.org/essential_oil_distiller_operation.htm They sell tabletop stills, but that page that I linked to is just some really great information on how to use a home distiller.

This is the process that is used in the extraction and isolation of essential oils from the plants that produce them. Hope this helps.
