Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 > HAs anybody ever used a vaporizer to extract the essential oils of herbs > for inhalation. There is no smoke or heat, so is that safe? any info > online? > THANKS! > JG JG, In order to extract essential oils from herbs, or whatever, you must use either a steam distiller, or use some type of solvent extraction. Either method isn't cost effective. You must either grow the herbs and such yourself, and use a distiller.....or try solvent extraction, which isn't easy. If Doc doesn't mind...I can post a link to a distiller, and other information that will help you in your quest. If you want a cost effective way to add some 'essential oils' to the air in your home, you can take your herbs and boil them on the stove. As the water evaporates into the air, it will take the essential oils from the herbs, and they will evaporate into the air as well. Hope this helps you a bit, and like I said, if Doc doesn't mind, I can send links to more information for you as well.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hi Candy, Per the advertising policy, " I don't mind if a list member posts a URL to a website where some pertinent " ON TOPIC " information can be found, AS LONG AS THAT LIST MEMBER DOES NOT OWN THE SITE, FOR THEN IT BECOMES PERSONAL ADVERTISING.

No, I do not own the websites, or sell anything like this, but I have researched it....because I would like to distill my own essential oils someday! So here are the links, since you've given the A-OK. http://www.heartmagic.com/EssentialDistiller.html Here's one home distiller unit for Essential Oils. http://www.av-at.com/stovestill2.html This is another unit for distillation of EO's. It's larger, and can produce larger amounts of essential oils. If you are wanting essential oils simply for fragrance, you can infuse oils to make like a perfume! If you need further information, let me know, and I will be more than happy to give you more information! HTH a bit! Candy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
