System, method for providing aromatherapy

A method for producing a pressed biomass component, the method comprising:

• placing plant material in a bottom press plate of a press plate apparatus, wherein the plant material comprises loose leaf sage or shredded Palo Santo;
• aligning a top plate of the press plate apparatus with the bottom press plate;
• applying pressure to one or more of the top press plate or the bottom press plate, wherein the pressure is within a range of 2500 to 36000 pounds per square inch (PSI), wherein the pressed biomass component is a resultant of the application of the pressure to the plant material, and the pressed biomass component has a weight of 0.5-10 grams;
• separating the top press plate and the bottom press plate;
• and
• removing the pressed biomass component from the bottom press plate, wherein the pressed biomass component is bound together by natural moisture content of the plant material that is extracted during compression of the plant material, and wherein binding of the pressed biomass component is without use of additional binding agents.
