How to extract oil from any plant you have at home: It only takes 5 minutes

There are several ways to extract essential oil from plants, but one of them is the fastest and most effective. Let's look at this in detail. 
Essential oils, which are responsible for the pleasant scent of plants, have been known and used since ancient times.

Over the centuries, their fortunes have fluctuated between greatness and obscurity, the latter often coinciding with advances in chemistry and synthetic compounds.

Since the 1990s, however, essential oils have enjoyed renewed popularity and attention.

This has led to the widespread use of aromatherapy as a healing and relaxation tool.

Essential oils are used to improve physical, emotional and mental well-being, helping to improve the quality of life.

The process of extracting oil from fragrant plants is fascinating and requires a thorough understanding of the flora. However, this can also be easily done at home.

To do this, you will need a 12 liter still, a gas or electric stove, some water and fragrant plants such as mint, lavender, thyme, rosemary, savory and sage, which have a rich concentration of essential oils.

For the process, around 2 kg of freshly harvested plants are sufficient during their balsamic period, when they have a higher concentration of active ingredients.
