The sensual, exotic and earthy fragrance of Patchouli adds a luxurious element to any aromatherapy blend. Patchouli is a perennial herb, native to tropical regions of Asia. In order to create essential oil, a steam distillation process is used. This extracts the oil from tiny pockets of liquid held on miniscule hairs, across the leaves of the plant. Patchouli has a deeply moisturising effect and is often used in aromatherapy treatments to help restore dry and tired skin. It can also be used as an intensive treatment for cracked and damaged skin, for example on very dry heels or skin suffering with the signs of eczema. Patchouli’s deep, earthy fragrance will help to bring peace of mind, grounding the user and bringing a sense of inner calm.
