Culinary Solvent 200 proof food grade alcohol is an indispensable tool for herbalists and naturopaths, especially in the world of aromatherapy and essential oil extraction. In this blog post, we'll explore the various ways food grade alcohol can be used in these applications and provide recipes for essential oil extraction and aromatherapy tips.

Aromatherapy vs. Essential Oil Extraction: Understanding the Differences

Aromatherapy is a holistic practice that uses the fragrant properties of essential oils to improve physical and emotional well-being. It focuses on the therapeutic application of essential oils through inhalation, massage, or diffusion in the air.

Essential oil extraction, on the other hand, is the process of extracting the concentrated, aromatic compounds from plant materials. Various methods can be used to extract essential oils, such as steam distillation, cold pressing, or solvent extraction.

Essential Oil Extraction with 200 Proof Food Grade Alcohol

Ingredients:

  • Fresh or dried plant material of your choice (e.g., lavender, rosemary, or orange peel)
  • CulinarySolvent.com's 200 proof food grade alcohol

Instructions:

  1. Finely chop the plant material and place it in a clean glass jar.
  2. Pour enough food grade alcohol into the jar to cover the plant material completely.
  3. Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 1 week, shaking it daily to ensure proper extraction.
  4. After the infusion period, strain the liquid through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer, squeezing out as much liquid as possible.
  5. Transfer the strained liquid to a shallow glass dish and let it sit in a well-ventilated area until the alcohol evaporates, leaving behind the concentrated essential oil.
  6. Store the essential oil in a dark, airtight container away from heat and light.
