Summary of article contents:
Pure essential oils are concentrated oils from various naturally occurring plants, including flowers, roots, seeds, resins, and the outermost layer of plants, trees, shrubs, and fruit rinds. Humans know these oils' benefits for the body, skin, and spirit. Due to their abundant therapeutic or odoriferous qualities, these oils are frequently used in commercial settings. Objectives: - To learn about the perks and pitfalls of various extraction techniques, the selection and effectiveness of a single method, and the processes available for extracting oils from plants and trees. Results: The method used to extract essential oils from plants is crucial since some techniques employ solvents, which might harm the medicinal qualities of trees and plants. The quality and yield of the oil never stay the same despite the different extraction techniques. The hydrodistillation technique has been used in this investigation because of its low operating costs and gentle extraction conditions. Water vapour is used as a critical component in extracting oils. Conclusion: The process of extracting essential oils through a variety of innovative techniques and procedures improves the quality and yield of the essential oils while reducing the risk of losing the essential components of plants and trees. It also reduces the risk of chemical exposure and extraction time, making it environmentally friendly. Keywords: Camphor oil, Hydro Distillation using Clevenger apparatus INTRODUCTION Since ancient times, people have used plants and trees for therapeutic purposes
