A grounding and distinguishing aroma used in many self care practices. Read more.
Patchouli is a base note. It has a unique, complex aroma that can be described as earthy, spicy, and slightly sweet. Its strong and long-lasting scent makes it ideal for anchoring a fragrance and providing a grounding base.
Patchouli is highly beneficial to the skin due to its powerful cell regenerative properties, and is (unsurprisingly) found in many natural skincare & body products. It is most commonly used for dermatitis, psoriasis, athlete's foot, acne, scars, dry & cracking skin, wrinkles, impetigo, varicose veins, dandruff, and oily hair/scalp conditions. It is also noted for being effecting in addressing wounds, abscesses, bed sores, hemorrhoids (external), impotence, fidgety, and menopausal sweats.
Because it slows rapid breathing, this oil is often used to assist in inducing deep meditative states, combat anxiety, mild insomnia, and general stress issues & concerns. Though sedating in low dosages, it is stimulating in higher amounts, and may be used to sharpen and clear one's mind.
Patchouli is common among energy workers, and can be found in blends promoting protection, prosperity, creativity, and centering. It is often used to ground ourselves while drawing energy from the earth, and is useful in relaxing one's over-active intellect. It is said to help us define ourselves, allowing us to express it to the world in a healthy manner. Patchouli may also assist individuals in appreciating the sacredness of life.
Patchouli dark oil blends well with a variety of other essential oils, including bergamot, lavender, black pepper, cedarwood, myrrh, and sandalwood. Â
Use caution around those with allergies to spicy foods, or those with scent sensitivities. Though risk is minimal, overuse may result in insomnia and loss of appetite.
To use essential oils safely, always dilute them with a carrier oil before topical application and avoid application to sensitive areas such as eyes, inner ears, nose, or broken skin. Store them a cool, dark, and dry place, making sure the lid is sealed tight and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
To recycle make sure empty bottle is clean and free from any oil residue.
