Patchouli Essential Oil (10 ml)
£5.99
Patchouli Oil is extracted from the Pogostemon Cablin plant (of member of the mint family) and has a rich musky-sweet, spicy smell. The plant is native to Malaysia and India and the word “patchouli” is derived from Tamil pachchai ilai, which means, simply, “green leaf”.
The oil is said to have a balancing effect on the emotions and creates an amorous atmosphere. It is also thought to ease anxiety and depression, speed up healing and fight infection.
Britons first fell in love with the scent of Patchouli in the 19th Century, when dried Patchouli leaves were placed between Indian cashmere shawls being exported to England in an attempt to deter moths. The scent caught on and soon, without this signature smell, the shawls could not be sold. In Europe and America, patchouli oil and incense was immensely popular in the 1960s and 70s among the hippies, since the smell of patchouli covered body odour and the smell of cannabis..
Caution: Do not take internally. Do not use it if pregnant, lactating or under a doctor’s care. Keep away from children and pets.
