it is the traditional method of extraction . it is fairly rare these days . instead of having steam pass through the powdered wood in hydro distillater the powder is allowed to soak in water . a fire from below the vessel then heats the water & carries off the steam which is allowed to cool . the oil is then removed from the top of the hydrosol
