The art and science of essential oil distillation and herbal preparations<\/h2>\n

Essential oils are the distilled aromatic molecules of plants. There are several different methods of distillation used to draw these aromatic essences out of plant material.<\/p>\n

Technically, only steam distilled essences are \u201cessential oils,\u201d yet it is common parlance in aromatherapy to refer to all distilled plant oils as \u201cessential oils.\u201d We follow this standard, too, and refer to all aromatic plant oils as essential oils except for absolutes as these oils are used only in perfumery and not in culinary creations or in skin care. All essential oils are the lipophilic liquids of the parent plant material.<\/p>\n

For clarity and key information sharing, in the \u201cDetails\u201d section of every essential oil description on the Living Libations website we list the extraction method used in the creation of the oil.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n
