Patchouli

Description

Patchouli essential oil is steam distilled from the leaf of the Patchouli plant. Aromatically, Patchouli has a herbaceous, camphoraceous scent.​
"Patchouli is a bushy herb from the mint family with stems reaching two or three feet in height and bearing small, pink-white flowers. Easily recognized for its rich, musky-sweet fragrance, Patchouli is regularly used in the perfume industry as well as in scented products such as laundry detergents and air fresheners. Patchouli is beneficial to the skin in many ways. It is often topically used to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes, and minor skin imperfections and to promote a smooth, glowing complexion. The fragrance of Patchouli provides a grounding, balancing effect on emotions."

Top Uses

Always follow recommended dilution when applying. Use caution when taking internally.

Emotional Aspects

​Patchouli is regarded as the “Oil of Physicality.” It may assist one in grounded, confident, moderation, body connection and acceptance, balanced, stable, and physically expressive. Patchouli may also assist one in releasing body shame and judgement, disconnected from body, ungrounded, and body tension.
