Patchouli essential oil has many potential applications. It has been used in hair care to help combat dandruff (try adding a few drops to your hair conditioner or create your own by blending it with our Amphora Aromatherapy Shampoo or Conditioner Bases).

Patchouli is also popular as a natural skin tonic  when diluted; it may also offer balance to oily and combination skin types.

Patchouli has also been widely used as a deodorant; its unmistakable scent has been used for centuries in perfumes, incense and all sorts of other uses (it is believed that Queen Victoria used Patchouli to protect her linen chests from moths).

It's deeply earthy, exotic and powerful aroma can be emotionally balancing for many. When burned or vaporised it is reputed to be good for calming nervous tension and relieving anxiety and lethargy.

It has been used in treatments for obesity possibly because of unsubstantiated reports that it induces loss of appetite and possibly because it reduces fluid retention However it is an antidepressant and I think it is more likely that Patchouli may help with weight loss because it helps the underlying anxiety and depression from which so many fat people suffer In fact it is helpful for all forms of depression anxiety and stressrelated conditions

Amazing addition to your collection of essential oils, earth, the musky exotic aroma really helps to balance a blend that is using lots of high notes to give you a rounded finish.
