Extracted by steam distillation of the leaves, Patchouli Essential Oil is characterized by it’s strong and heavy fragrance. In ancient times, patchouli was used as a personal scent for masking odors and repelling insects. In more recent years patchouli was used in blends to reduce stress, depression, and anxiety. It can also be used in blends for skin conditions such as dryness, inflammation, scars, sores, eczema and wounds. It is moisturizing and cooling for the skin, great for insect repellent blends and has significant antibacterial effects. 
 
Patchouli bends nicely with Bergamot, Clary Sage, Geranium, Lavender and Myrrh.
