Essence
Zift comes in two types: sea, black, fluid, which is part of the patches and is a type of kara, and mountain, land-based. Ground zift is liquid and is extracted from pine and other types of coniferous trees. Initially it is liquid, and then it is sometimes dried by cooking. It is most often extracted from pine trees, which is a “nut to chew” tree.

Zift oil is close to Kitran; it is obtained by distilling fresh zift, when it is boiled to dry it; or they hang wool over the boiler so that it is moistened by its steam; when the wool gets wet, it is squeezed into another vessel, and it cannot be distilled better in a flask or in an alembic than in this way. This way, all parts that would sublime under other conditions are preserved. Actions and properties.
