Patchouli Oil

PatchouliThe Patchouli plant is native to Malaysia and India, where it is known as `puchaput`. The word is derived from Hindustan word `patch` meaning `green` and `ilai` meaning `leaf. ` Patchouli acts as regenerative, fungicidal, decongestant, antidepressant, aphrodisiac, antiseptic and tonic. Patchouli is extremely useful for skin infections. Patchouli is often added to perfumes because of its aphrodisiac affect. Its thickness makes it a natural fixative, and it seems to be particularly effective with fungal, yeast and bacterial infections. It can also be useful as a mouthwash or a gargle. It also mixes well with the following oils: Ylang Ylang, Lemon, Musk, Neroli and Rose.

Uses of Patchouli Oil:
  • Antiseptic and anti-fungal

  • Good for all kinds of fever

  • Good for a number of skin conditions, including scars, acne, eczema, burns, allergies and hemorrhoids.

  • Widely used in India as Moth repellent.
