藥廠不投資研發精油的原因


精油是純天然,無法申請專利:這意謂著您將無法在西藥中看到精油,因此,大部份的主流醫療從業人員不會推薦精油取代精油來療癒疾病,更重要的是,因為精油 無法申請專利,藥商不會投資錢來研究它們,這也大幅限縮精油科學知識的發展,直到現在,我們絕大部分有關於精油的知識,都是由數千年來人們實務上的使用經 驗留傳下來的(補充說明:美商多特瑞公司鑒於精油用途廣泛及威力強大,而成立由脊骨神經醫師希爾博士領銜的科學顧問團,從事精油相關研究)。
Essential oils are wholly natural and cannot be patented; which means that you’ll never see an essential oil in a pharmaceutical drug. As such, you can expect that the vast majority of mainstream healthcare practitioners will never recommend essential oils as therapeutic alternatives to drugs. More importantly, because essential oils cannot be patented, drug companies will not waste money studying them. This limits our scientific knowledge of essential oils GREATLY, and the majority of what we know about them are things that have been passed down through thousands of years of personal use and experimentation.



您八成聽過有人對海鮮、蠶豆、花生、花粉等食物過敏,而少吃,甚至完全不吃這些食物,您聽到後,大概也覺得這並無什大驚小怪的事,可是卻有不少人在使用精 油後過敏,而從此對精油敬謝不敏,事實上,精油百百種,用某種精油會過敏,不妨持續嘗試其他精油,否則因噎廢食,而喪失受惠於「精油-大地的禮物」在身心 靈所能發揮的療癒效果,誠屬可惜。

為檢驗是否對某一種精油過敏(使用精油做肌膚保養時,最好先做檢驗),您可以將一滴精油(視需要以基底油稀釋),然後塗抹在上臂內側,在幾小時之內,您若沒有紅腫或搔癢的情形發生的話,那麼就表示您對於這種精油不會過敏。
To test if you’re sensitive to an essential oil (which is probably best to do before using it in a skincare preparation): Combine one drop of essential oil with 1/2 tsp carrier oil Rub this on the inside, upper portion of your arm and wait a few hours. If no redness or itching develops, you’re most likely not sensitive to that essential oil.
