i have grown lavender flowers blooms are ready for harvesting. how do i make oilCan someone tell me how to make lavender essential oil from lavender plants, simply?
You cannot make essential oils with a distillation system. You can make a fragrant oil by soaking lavender flowers in an oil, like olive oil or for a lighter oil sesame oil. You leave the flowers in the oil for days maybe a week, then if you want more fragrant oild you strain out the old flowers add new flowers and soak it again, you can do this like 3 times. It's good masage oil, but it is not an essential oil.Can someone tell me how to make lavender essential oil from lavender plants, simply?
use a light oil like saffflower or use alcohol like vodka or gin and soak and mash the flowers in it and then strain into a atomizer or for more info check the library they can give better info and correct oils and so on
Quite easily, actually. You're best bet is to let it soak in an oil that you would buy from a natural health food store. Don't use any commercial oils for eating, except for almond oil but then you get that smell too. You could also google it on the internet and get more answers.
