Patchouli Essential Oil
Patchouli essential oil is a deeply grounding and versatile oil known for its rich, earthy aroma and wide range of wellness benefits. It supports emotional balance, helps uplift mood, and promotes a sense of stability—making it ideal for stress relief and meditation. Topically, it can aid in healing minor wounds, soothe acne-prone skin, and improve scalp health by addressing dandruff. When properly diluted with a carrier oil, patchouli can be applied to the skin or used in aromatherapy. It also blends beautifully with oils like lavender, sandalwood, and bergamot, creating calming, uplifting, or sensual aromatic experiences. Always patch test and consult your doctor if you’re using other medications.
