DIY distillers and where to buy home distilling equipment

Have you ever wanted to distill your own essential oils instead of spending loads of $$ on buying them? Especially when some are diluted and therapeutically speaking, not worth the price.
Yes, there are reputable companies out there who consistently offer top of the line essential oils, but their prices reflect this and wouldn’t it be great to know exactly where that essential oil you’re using comes from?
By home distillation, you can control exactly how the plants/flowers/etc. are grown, tended and what products are used or not used in their raising. (i.e. pesticides, herbicides, etc.)

Spring Meditation

After completing  Oprah and Depok Chopra's 21-Day Meditation Challenge, a certain quote stood out in my mind's eye and has stayed with me ever since.

"It's been said in many healing traditions that the perfect medicine is often blooming right outside our front door. Everyday nature offers us its healing bounty, creating balance and cultivating greater harmony in our world. " -Oprah & Depok Chopra
That snippet of their quote reverberated inside me, and echoes of the message still ring true. It even inspired a bit of poetry.
