The Extraction Process of Turmeric Essential Oil

At Ayursav India, we follow a meticulous process to ensure high-quality extraction:

Step-by-Step Extraction Process

1. Harvesting – The turmeric rhizomes are carefully harvested after 8-10 months of growth.
2. Cleaning & Drying – The roots are washed, sun-dried, and ground into small pieces for extraction.
3. Steam Distillation – The crushed rhizomes undergo steam distillation, separating the essential oil from the plant material.
4. Cooling & Filtration – The vaporized oil is condensed, filtered, and stored in dark glass bottles to maintain purity.
5. Quality Testing & Packaging – Each batch is tested for purity, curcumin content, and potency before being packed for global distribution.

It takes about 100 kg of turmeric rhizomes to produce 1-2 liters of essential oil.
