Making true LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL is not that difficult, but it is necessary to know the technique of steam distillation and also to build a distiller with these characteristics.
In this TUTORIAL, I explain to you in detail the entire Lavender steam distillation procedure, so that you can do it without having knowledge of chemistry.
This is usually carried out in a sophisticated laboratory system, however, I have designed an efficient and inexpensive prototype distiller that you can make yourself at home for very little money.
For this, it is only necessary to have an express pot, a steam cooking basket, silicone tubing with an internal diameter of 4-5 mm, a plastic bottle, plastic kitchen film, velcro tape, and gel bags for thermotherapy, and a little imagination.
