hydrosol aya

[mrwiggle]

so i have a hydrosol device... basically as far as i know its a low tech steam distillation device... would it be effective (minimal loss of alkaloids/concentrated result)to do a water based extraction/steam distilled hydrosol aya?

sooo, moo... i was hoping there would be some clever replies to this, but maybe nobody knows anything about it? perhaps i will be an inovator in the field!...i will return with updates when i complete the hydrosolian expreiments (i have not enough $ to buy materials currently)

Yes, I know someone who does this... it works well. They don't call it hydrosol, they just call it steam extraction.
You obviously need to process the amount of liquid that comes out though.
