How can i extract the oil from a patchouli plant?
Method of Extraction
This oil is extracted from the young leaves that are dried and fermented prior to steam distillation. This type of distillation is very effective, not expensive and provides with the best essential oil qualities.
Patchouli oil improves with age and gives a fuller odor.
There are many methods of extracting essential oils and it depending on the source from where the oil is extracted. Here we will see how clove oil extracted. This oil is extracted from the leaves, stem and buds via steam distillation, yet it is only the clove bud oil which is used in aromatherapy, since it contains the least Eugenol.
Steam distillation is very simple and cost effective method of extracting essential oils. Lets see how it works, when hot steam is forced in through the plant material, it forces and opens the pores where the oil resides. Now we got the steam, which contains essential oil, this potion is now passed through cooling system to condense the steam, which then forms a liquid from which essential oil and water is separated.
One thing has to be taken care, the temperature, should be just suitable to allow the essential oil flow through plant material. However, if the temperature is high it can burn of the essential oil.
Some oils are very heat sensitive and this method is good for these oils, which protects there healing qualities.
Precautions
The oil is non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing but the smell of Patchouli oil may be a little persistent for some people and it may cause loss of appetite in some individuals.
A few drops may seem very little but all oils are extremely potent and concentrated. Using more than the recommended amount may result in an adverse response, e.g. too much relaxant may produce irritation and anxiety.

Why is oil only found in the seed of a plant?
Why is it only found there and no where else? Why is oil only found in the seed of a plant?
Who said the oils are present only in seed?
You never play with orange skin peel? If you press it, oils will come out. If you press it in front of a spirit lamp, you can see the flame from the oil.
Citrus leaves have many volatile oils.
Eucalyptus barks are used to extract oils.
Note:
Oil is a storage product of plants. Like other storage products such as carbohydrates and proteins, oils are also generally stored in seeds. However, it does not mean that oils are only stored in seeds.parasites

Can one get the essential oil from a plant at home without any harmful chemicals?
Yes from some of the plant materials in small quantities.
I am not able to guess in which part of the globe you are and what plant materials are around you and in your kitchen which are capable of giving essential oil readily.
Steam distillation is the most common procedure. At home without any special equipment you may be able to get some oil from rose petals (do not use hybrid varieties), cloves, fennel seeds, sweet lime (use peels), eculyptus leaves, ginger, etc. DONOT CARRY ON WITHOUT SUPEVISION OF AN EXPERT.
Take any of the above. If it is solid then powder it, if it is wet then grind it to make paste or gring it in a grinder. Add 3 to 4 times water. Put it in pressure cooker. Do not put ant weight on the cooker. Attach a rubber pipe to the steam outlet. Pu the other end of pipe in a bottle. Heat to boil and let the condense steam into bottle. The water in bottle will contain essential oil. Oil will separate out if content is faorly high otherwise it will remain dissolved in water. But you will be able to smell it and appriciate the smell.
Some part of the rubber pipe can be replaced by metal pipe to make cooling more effective.
Several crude innovative devices can be tried.
By Cold pressing:
From orange peels, jasmine flowers, mint leaves, lemon leaves, lemon peels the following method can be tried.
Take a few filter paper ( or pices of newspaper/ butter paper / fine cloth).
Keep two / three papers one over another then spread small quantity of the above material, then place more papers over it. Press again and again with a roller pin a few times. Remove paper one by one. Some of the papers will have some oil enough to be able to smell the oil.
See which method is right for you.
