Patchouli Essential Oil

Common Name: Patchouli

Latin Name: Pogostemon cablin

Aroma: Deep and warm undertones from this oil fill the nose with an exotic earthiness and a hint of spice. While most patchouli essential oils tend to overwhelm me, this one is quite lovely and almost soft. The resinous and woody aroma is absolutely stunning. It is a beautiful oil to use as a fixative/base note in your blends.

Energetic Qualities: Can be balancing for an energetic mind, reduces nervous strain, allows for deeper breathing, can be arousing for sensuality.

Recommended applications: Diffuse, topical application using safe dilution ratios, steam inhalation, inhaler.

Aromatherapist notes: Although I do not enjoy patchouli on its own, it makes a wonderful fixative when blending top note heavy oils. Many of my clients have come to enjoy it because of my popular Balance blend.
