Bringing the Art of Distillation to the City
For the first time, The Aromatherapy Institute of the Philippines, in partnership with AIA Philippines, brings the ancient craft of plant distillation to the heart of the city. Witness how Lagundi (Vitex negundo)—a well-loved Filipino medicinal plant—is transformed into essential oil and hydrosol through live, small-batch distillation. This event bridges science, tradition, and community by making herbal knowledge accessible to all—right where you are.
Explore the roots of Filipino aromatherapy—no need to travel far.
