Yarrow (Leaves / Flowers / Buds) Oil Distillation Plant

A Yarrow leaves, flowers, and buds oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from the aerial parts of the Yarrow plant (Achillea millefolium). Known for its herbaceous, sweet, and slightly spicy aroma, yarrow essential oil is widely used in aromatherapy, natural skincare, traditional medicine, and perfumery due to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-healing properties.

The oil extraction process involves steam distillation, where freshly harvested yarrow leaves, flowers, and buds are placed in stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the plant material, vaporizing the volatile compounds. These vapors are then condensed and separated to collect pure essential oil. The oil is filtered and stored in dark, airtight containers to preserve its therapeutic qualities and aroma.

Modern distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation units, condensers, and oil separators, with precise control over temperature and pressure to maximize oil yield and quality. The essential oil typically contains bioactive compounds such as chamazulene, borneol, and cineole, contributing to its distinctive blue color and medicinal benefits. Strict hygiene and quality control protocols ensure production of high-quality yarrow essential oil for use in holistic health, cosmetics, and aromatherapy sectors.
