Thank you so much for making this video !! I loved all of your tips to getting the perfect hydrosol. I cant wait to order my distiller from you and making this Cica Hydrosol. Your Amazing Leo
The downside of using tap water is its chlorine disinfectant which is volatile and may add go into your distillate. Distilled water or filtered water is highly recommended.

LETIME Stainless Steel 3" Kettle Distiller (KD), Easy-to-use Hydrosol Maker I want to buy this. But it's sold out. Would you please let me know, when you get more? Thank you!
You may use fresh leaves. Difference with dried is more moisture content in fresh ones so you expect to receive less amount of hydrosol. Powder is fine but need a cloth bag and closed to put into steamer before distillation. I have another video explaining difference between using dried and fresh plant material for distillation.
Hello! Your video is really interesting. I want to make centella hydrosol at home but I don't have that equipment. I plan to extract the centella by infusing it in oil for skin purposes. I know that infusing it in oil only dissolve the oil-soluble parts of centella. what do you think about that? Which one may benefit the most, the hydrosol (which contain mostly of the water-soluble parts of centella) or the oil infused centella? Or maybe i should do glycerin or glycerin+oil mixture base infusing for better result?
Hi, I like your questions! Oil, glycerin and ethanol are popular solvents can be used to extract, but they have different efficiency. Ethanol has better efficiency but it can cause dry skin. Oil is better than glycerin. One way is use a bit of ethanol before using oil or glycerin. Then slowly heat up to vaporize ethanol so as to help make better extract. Hydrosol contains volatile compounds like essential oil. Because they are small molecules they have good penetration on skin.

Both raw and dried will work for steam or hydro distillation. The difference is raw has inter or intra cellular water but dried has much less moisture content. Dried herb can make higher concentrated hydrosol compared with raw one.

Oh my goodness man you look fantastic; phenomenal video
I love your videos I'm learning so much from them. Thank you Dr. Kwok!
Brilliant!
Thank you SO MUCH!!!
I need this distiller. Where did you get it at?
WOW! I didn't know Centella Asiatica
e/o existed💗
I really need to invest in one of these & purchase the e/o seperator as well
Yes, it has eo but very low content. It is not enough to be separated by separator but you will see the oil floating in the hydrosol.
@@LeTimeLeo ok Thank U

Yes. Can you send me an email to leo@letimestill.com ?
This looks really great. Centella is fairly abundant where I live but I haven't seen any dried versions of it here yet. Would powder work for this?

Can you link us where you got the Gotu kola?
Sure. Here is one: www.herbco.com/p-1128-gotu-kola-cs.aspx
Why not to take it raw or dried? Or it required for telomere lenghtening?
Both raw and dried will work for steam or hydro distillation. The difference is raw has inter or intra cellular water but dried has much less moisture content. Dried herb can make higher concentrated hydrosol compared with raw one.
Can I use fresh gotukola leaves?
Yes! The only difference is hydrosol from dry leaves will be more concentrated than that from fresh leaves due to their less moisture.
@@LeTimeLeo thank you
