## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book, lots of detailed information.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017*

I found a lot of excellent information in this book. I've been distilling my own hydrosols and some essential oils for a few years now, but was looking for a book that could help with the little details, like how much oil is yielded from which plant, how much plant material, the best way to prepare the material, how long each plant needs for a complete distillation,  etc. This book is crammed with the info I wanted! I do wish there was a tad more information on the distillation of resins, but what is there was very helpful. The reason I took a star away, is because I was really annoyed that the chapter where the authors describe different stills, they only go into detail about the still that they sell! So that chapter is basically a big advertisement for the still that they sell! Not even a mention of an alembic still either, which in my opinion is probably one of the most used by the home/hobbyist distiller. Other than that the book is good, and also goes into detail on other extraction methods, for example, cold pressing, solvent extraction, etc. This book is not only for the home/hobbyist distiller, but for anyone that uses essential oils. I say this because if you're using essential oils, you're going to want to learn everything you can, even how they're made. Had the authors not tried to heavily sell their still to me in this book, I'd have given 5 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Outstanding handbook for small-scale production of essential oils and hydrosols
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016*

This book contains so much information! I didn't expect producing essential oils and hydrosols via steam distillation is so easy. The best of all, you don't need much. Between 10 and 20 ounces of plant material is enough for 2 to 20 milliliters of essential oil and 500 milliliters of hydrosol, depending on the used plant species. The authors describe in detail all issues to maximize oil yield and to receive the most intense hydrosol, whether it is still shape, amount of water, distillation process, plant preparation, harvest time, etc. Finally I've found a sensible application of unused or surplus material from my herb bed which I composted all the years before. It's even possible to use dried plant materials.Assembling your own still with equipment found in every kitchen is simple, no need to weld or solder. Nearly every imaginable essential-oil-plant is accurately described: which part to use, when to harvest, specific preparation, oil yield, and other special characteristics. The last part of the book contains step-by-step instructions for all kind of essential oil and hydrosol applications.An outstanding handbook for everyone who intends to produce his own essential oils and hydrosols.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    High on inspiration, low on technical information
  

*by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2019*

Most of the information in this book is already online available for free via google. There are already lots of sources of information online for this sort of thing, they all seemed to reference this book and now I'm fairly disappointed that there isn't more to it - I assumed it went in-depth. It does have some pretty pictures, and a useful plant guide in the back where they discuss some specifics of dealing with particular plants. The book would've been worth it, if they've fleshed this out quite a bit more. However considering what I paid for, definitely don't think that I got my money's worth.
