- Spruce essential oil is made via steam distillation. In steam distillation, plant material is placed in a still, water is added, then heat is applied to the unit. As water heats, plants release their essential oil, the oil rises with steam droplets that are sucked into a pipe and the oil and water are then separated. While it may not be possible to make Spruce essential oil at home, you can make aromatic hydrosol water that contains many of the same therapeutic benefits as essential oil.
