Tulsi Cultivation: Tulsi (Holy Basil) would be cultivated on a suitable agricultural land. The quality and yield of the oil largely depend on the species of tulsi, soil quality, climate, and cultivation practices.

Harvesting: Once the tulsi plants have reached maturity, they are harvested. The timing of harvesting is crucial as it affects the oil yield and quality.

Preparation for Distillation: After harvesting, the tulsi plants are brought to the distillation facility. They are usually chopped or crushed to facilitate the release of essential oils during the distillation process.

Steam Distillation: The chopped tulsi material is placed in a distillation chamber or vessel. Steam is then passed through the plant material. The heat of the steam causes the essential oils to evaporate from the plant material.
