hydrodiffusion (hīˈ·drō·di·fyōōˑ·zhˈn),

n a method of extracting essential oils in which steam at atmospheric pressure is passed through the plant material from the top of the extraction chamber, thus resulting in oils that retain the original aroma of the plant; process is less harsh than steam distillations is.
