Patchouli is a multi-faceted essential oil, with both physical and mental benefits. With a distinctive rich aroma balancing sweetness and earthiness, patchouli is soothing and grounding while also opening the mind – and the heart, with sensual deep floral undertones.

This essential oil is also recognized as being beneficial to a number of skin conditions when applied topically, including acne, dermatitis, dry and cracked skin – and it is also supportive in addressing oily hair and dandruff. For other physical ailments – such as nausea, headaches and stomach upset – patchouli can help to ease symptoms, and even support with controlling appetite. The characteristic aroma of patchouli blends well with floral and woody essential oils to promote relaxation and calm, relieving tension and anxiety, and reducing symptoms of depression.
