Description
Pogostemon cablin
Patchouli Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the patchouli plant. It possesses a deep, earthy, musky aroma with sweet, herbaceous undertones. Just a drop or two of Patchouli Essential Oil can add richness and grounding depth to any blend, and its scent often improves and mellows with age, making it a prized base note in perfumery.
Patchouli Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help ease anxiety, promote relaxation, and create a meditative atmosphere. It is valued for its skin-regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to support skin health, particularly for acne, eczema, dry or cracked skin, and mature skin. Patchouli is also known as a natural insect repellent and fixative in perfume blends.
Emotionally, Patchouli Essential Oil is deeply grounding and centering, helping to ease nervous exhaustion, balance emotions, and promote feelings of sensuality, confidence, and connection to the physical body.
