Lavender oil extraction is the process of obtaining essential oil from the flowers of the lavender plant. The most common method of extraction is steam distillation, which involves using steam to vaporize the oil and then condensing it into a liquid form. Other methods include cold-pressing, solvent extraction, and CO2 extraction. Lavender oil is widely used in aromatherapy, perfumes, cosmetics, and culinary applications due to its calming and relaxing properties. The quality and composition of the oil can vary depending on the extraction method and the type of lavender plant used.
