Thanks for this. Two questions:

1) Did the oil smell nice? Was it the same as store bought stuff?

2) Did you just use leaves or the flowers or both?

Thanks

Great video. Good info. The only thing i did not like was the music as it competed too hard with the content. Too loud for one thing.

That is awesome! I love essential oils, but it looks terribly complicated and not at all what one could do in their own kitchen. Maybe I’ll just try making floral water or something. Maybe steam rose petals in a steamer like I would vegetables where the water would be low enough not to touch them? I’d probably kill the therapeutic value, but I imagine I’d still get the fragrance. I just don’t want to use those synthetic animal-testing (torturing) air fresheners. I love going natural all the way!

Such a little amount but SOOOO strong! you could put all of that in a batch of soap and it would probably be to much!

Wow this was very informative. We owe alot to scientific processes, and it’s always good to have insight into how products we use might be made.

I’ve been trying to make oils for the longest time with no success.
