Objective To study the extraction process of the volatile oil from Cortex moutan, Rhizoma chuanx- long and Rhizoma acori tatarinowii. Methods The Cortex moutan and Rhizoma chuanxiong oils, the Rhizoma acori tatarinowii oil and their mixed samples oils were obtained by the mixed material - water reflux condensa- tion and the extraction process was evaluated by the weight of volatile oil. Results The weight of volatile oil in the extraction process has no significant differences between them. Conclusion By the mixed material -water reflux condensation, the extraction process to the mixed volatil...
