Simply Be Collection

Patchouli oil is a member of the Lamiaceae family. This oil has a warm, earthy aroma with fresh fruit-like tones. It is classed as a base note and blends well with earthy, minty and woodsy oils.

The exotic scent of patchouli is known to have a grounding and balancing effect on emotions. It can aid in skin recovery while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars and stretch marks.

Common Uses: Patchouli is recognized by aromatherapists as being effective for combating nervous disorders, helping with dandruff, sores, skin irritations and acne.

In the perfumery industry, it is interesting to note that Patchouli improves with age and that the aged product is what is preferred over freshly harvested. In aromatherapy, Patchouli is an excellent fixative that can help extend other, more expensive oils.

History: Before it became popular in Europe, Indian shawls and Indian ink were identified by the unique patchouli odour.

Best applied on pulse points, back of the neck (largest pores), soles of the feet (largest pores) and problem areas. As we apply our blend in through the largest pores, it is said that it enters the bloodstream in as little as a few minutes. Emotional blends are very effective with this application as we are optimising the ability to harmonise your mind and body. Science states three times a day is sufficient, any more is placebo – which as we know has its own magnificent effects also!
