Pure Patchouli Essential Oil Purenaissance Therapeutic Grade, Best for Aromatherapy and Diffuser/10ml

What is Patchouli Essential Oil:

Native to Indonesia, Patchouli has large fragrant, downy leaves with majestic white flowers. It was introduced in England and France in the 19th century thanks to the success of cashmere shawls imported from Asia. To transport and protect them from moths during their boat trip, these shawls were wrapped in patchouli leaves and then displayed in the beautiful neighborhoods.

The warm, spicy, musky and sensuous scent of Patchouli Essential Oil is commonly associated with the hippy generation and referred to as “the scent of the sixties.”

This oil is derived from the leaves of the highly-valued Patchouli plant, which belongs to a family of other well-known aromatic plants, including Lavender, Mint, and Sage. In the Asian countries, it was traditionally used in folk medicine to treat hair problems like dandruff and oily scalp, as well as skin irritations like dryness, acne, and eczema.

Patchouli Essential Oil is presently used for various purposes including perfumery, aromatherapy, cosmetic products, home cleaning products, and clothing detergents. Through any of these methods, the calming scent of the essential oil relieves anxiety, stress, and depression, making it effective for achieving relaxation, especially in meditation.
