Patchouli Essential Oil 10ml

Origin: Patchouli is used extensively in the Far East to scent linen and clothes as well as prevent the spread of disease. Possibly used originally as an antidote to poisonous snake bites, further uses have been discovered over the centuries including treatment of headaches. An amber or dark orange viscous liquid with a sweet, rich, herbaceous, earthy odour, it is extracted from a perennial herb of the same name. It is a bushy plant and a member of the same family as many of the Mediterranean herbs such as Basil, Lavender, Peppermint, Rosemary etc. However, it is unlike them in its appearance, habitat and medicinal properties and indeed has more of an animal than plant quality to it. Like wine, this oil actually improves with age and used in small proportions it can have an almost oriental quality.

Patchouli is useful as an inhalant as this oil reputedly stimulates the production of serotonin and dopamine, the feel-good hormones which help to eliminate feelings of anxiety and anger.  The release of these hormones reduces stress and tension and contributes to a sense of overall well-being.  It is chiefly used in the treatment of skin disorders and general skincare.  It is an anti-inflammatory and has antiseptic properties.
