This article is investigating the preparation of essential oil from the
ether-containing plants of Juniper (Juniperus) and spruce (Picea) leaves by using the simple water distillation equipment. This water
distillation method forms an essential oil with water vapor from plants of
Juniper (Juniperus) and spruce (Picea) leaves based on Dalton’s law
