Curious if you ever got around to doing any fruit in it? I want to use Guava's in this kit—wondering how it might work. Great video–thank you!
How do we clean it after using?
I'd try all the herbs and aromatic flowers I have!
Just a small terminology nit pick. You should never want to boost your immune system. A boosted immune system is what causes autoimmune disease. Always seek to support your immune system. Companies are slowly starting to change their marketing to match this, and it is helpful to use the correct terms to keep the propper state of mind.
Seriously! That is SO cool!!!
Fast forwarded to half way !
Too bad you skipped the last part.

Excellent essential oil lesson! You do a great job! Thank you!
Hey your video is great but I think you can shorten your video without the long introduction.
Do you wash the plants before you put in the pot?
You have no idea how useful your videos are for Michigan pagan community lol
I would like to know how to make more for the amount of plants you have to use.
You gonna have more views if you talk less.
Essential oils should not be consumed!!! Some can be applied topically if diluted, though! Definitely never consume and do your research! There are a lot of dangers when dealing with essential oils. Ex. Citrus essential oils are photosensitive. Meaning if you step in the sun you can get a burn where it was applied.

I really appreciate this video. I want to make brazilian pepper tree berry essential oil.
We tried this tonight with cinnamon sticks. Have you ever tried to make cinnamon essential oil? It didn’t turn out and we’re not sure what we did wrong? Do you need to have the cinnamon sticks fill up the majority of the bucket?
@migardener just put the water in the freezer (or fridge) for a bit to the oil starts to solidify then skim off the top.
I use a similar pot to distill oils from both plants and fruit, and for the cooling of the coils, i use a large bowl filled with both ice and water, and have a small circulating pump attached to the inlet and outlet, so cool water is always flowing around coils, the outlet drains into the sink or other container, and i add more water as needed. I also use water bottles that I fill and freeze, and put them in the condensing pot, inside the coils to make the water really cold. I find using this method, I get more oils extracted.
Could someone kindly clarify why one would need distillation unit to extract an oil? My understanding is that distillation is used to separate liquids of a lower boiling point, such as an alcohol. Oils, on the other hand, have a higher boiling point than water and are generally not miscible in water i.e. they should self-separate.
It is a good idea to use cork for the small bottle cap because it will last longer than plastic or metal. The vapors of peppermint oil are quite chemically active. I learned this from a mint farmer who lived next door to me.
– iv tryed getting oil off of the top of water with a pipet. it doesnt work

Skip to 5min for the actual making of oils. Uses of essential oils could be used in a seperate video.
Don't know if I missed something but I didn't quite get it
Can i do this with fruits ?
Could you freeze the jars of fluid and peel off the oil on top?
