Distillation:
This essential oil is sustainably extracted through steam distillation, with no chemical solvents involved. The oil is extracted by passing steam through the dry wood, opening its oil glands, and allowing the essential oil to mix with the steam. The oil is then passed through a cooling system to condense the plant’s natural essence.
