The Steam Distillation Process stands as the simplest and universally acknowledged method for extracting natural essential oils from a variety of plant sources including trees, flowers, fruits, and seeds.

In this procedure, different parts of the plant or tree, including fruits and buds, are introduced into sizable steam boilers and subjected to intense heat. The organic compounds present within the raw materials are released from their natural confines due to the generation of abundant steam. Subsequently, the volatile liquid molecules of the raw material are captured during their separation from the water.

The inherent simplicity of this process renders it a favored choice, even for the extraction of essential oils on a smaller scale.
