Litsea Cubeba produces a small, pepper-like fruit which is also the source of its essential oil along with the leaves, roots and flowers. There are two ways in which the oil is extracted from the plant, which I will explain below, but always important for you to inquire as to how the oil you’re interested in was made (as is the case with most natural products) in order to make sure that it’s the right stuff for you.
The first method of production is the most popular one for most essential oil production, and that’s steam distillation. In this method, the crushed organic elements of the plant are placed in a glass chamber. Water is then heated in a separate chamber to produce steam.
The steam then passes through a glass tube and fills up the chamber with the organic matter. The essential nutrients and potent phytochemicals contained in the Litsea fruit and leaves are extracted through evaporation and then pass into another chamber. In this final chamber, the vapor collects and cools, to form droplets. The droplets gather at the base of the chamber and this is essentially what makes up the base of the essential oil.
