Effective dose = technique intensity × duration × frequency — log each variable.
Hydrosol Production and Use BenchmarksTable
Key parameters and target values for quality assurance.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure | Comfortable | No sharp pain |
| Duration | 15-60 min | Adjust to goal |
| Frequency | 1-3× weekly | Allow recovery |
Patch Test
Patch test every new blend on inner arm 24 hours before full-body application.
Consistency Check
Verify uniformity across all pieces — inconsistency is the most common quality issue.
Material Hazards
Read material safety data sheets (MSDS) before handling unfamiliar materials or chemicals.
Safety Notes
- Steam distillation involves hot surfaces and pressure awareness.
- Use food-grade equipment for internal hydrosols.
