Can I test essential oils myself? 可以自己辨別精油品質的優劣嗎? Yes. Try these simple comparisons. 當然可以,最好的方式就是直接做比較。 Test 1. Smell. One of the most obvious ways to test one essential oil in comparison to anther is to smell them one after another. DoTERRA’s oils will likely be obviously different. 方法一: 最簡單的方法就一是一瓶接著一瓶聞(跟品酒師、美食家作評比一樣),你會發現多特瑞精油與眾不同。
Test 2. Touch. Place a drop of doTERRA oil on your right pointer finger, have someone else place the same essential oil by another company on your left pointer finger. Now rub your thumbs and forefingers together with your eyes closed. DoTERRA oils should be very clean, thin, and almost crisp. They will be absorbed almost immediately into the skin. Essential oils are not slick or oily in the sense that you might think of a vegetable oil or olive oil. 方法二: 點一滴多特瑞精油在右食指指尖,然後請別人點一滴它家精油在你左食指指尖,然後兩隻手的食指與大拇指指尖不斷來回搓揉,你會感覺到多特瑞的精油非常晶瑩剔透,而能迅速滲入肌膚中,純精油不應有油油的滑溜感,若是的話,那一定摻雜植物油或橄欖油。
Test 3. One test that some have found easy and informative is a simple consistency, fluid and flow test. Basically a poor (very poor-mass chromatography test). To do this test, take a clear glass pane (from a picture frame works well.) Place it on a table and prop one end up using a pen or pencil. The glass should be at a very slight angle. Now take a doTERRA essential oil and an oil from another essential oil company and place one drop of the doTERRA oil on the top right of the glass. Now take the essential oil from the other company and place a drop of it on the top left. They will begin to run down and you will see how they react. There viscosity, how they dry and /or evaporate, the residue that they do or do not leave. After the begin to dry observe how the drop residue looks and feels. Check again once they completely dry. See if one takes longer to evaporate or dry. These will all be evidence of how different the oils are. If an oil never dries completely or leaves a sticky residue or you can still feel a fair amount of texture from a dried drop, you likely have an oil that has impurities in it. 方法三: 這種測試 雖然簡單卻很有學問,它可以測出精油的濃稠度和流速,有人就謔稱這方法是窮人的「氣相層析質譜儀」。做這測試時,首先準備一片乾淨的玻璃板,然後在板子上 方墊一隻筆讓它翹起後微微傾斜一些角度,並分別在玻璃左上方及右上方各點一滴多特瑞及它家廠牌的精油,請留意觀察精油流下的速度,你會發現它們兩者的濃稠 度、揮發速度、和殘留情形等截然不同,不好的精油因摻有不良雜質,因此,揮發速度慢,並且完全蒸發後,也會留下殘留物。
在上述理念下,Dr.Hill提出了「專業純正調理級認證」Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade(簡稱CPTG認證)來作為生產精油的嚴格標準(目前尚未國機標準,CPTG的條件遠超出現有國際上現有的其他認證,doTERRA多特瑞即以此標準生產精油,這也是多特瑞精油可以當作口服營養補充品的原因),並結合了多位各領域的專家,為推廣純正精油的高度價值而努力.Dr.Hill從眾多的精油中,嚴格挑選出可以對大多數人日常健康有所幫助的50幾種精油做為產品,再依據呼吸道系統.消化系統.舒緩神經以及增強自然防禦力等四個居家健康方向設計成為每個家庭都需要的「家庭醫生套裝產品」,對於現代人生活中的身心壓力、睡眠品質、病菌充斥、腸胃系統、呼吸系統等健康課題,提供了全方位的基礎保障.
