Patchouli essential oil has many potential applications. It has been used in hair care to help combat dandruff (try adding a few drops to your hair conditioner or create your own by blending it with our Amphora Aromatherapy Shampoo or Conditioner Bases).

Patchouli is also popular as a natural skin tonic when diluted; it may also offer balance to oily and combination skin types.    

Patchouli has also been widely used as a deodorant; its unmistakable scent has been used for centuries in perfumes, incense and all sorts of other uses (it is believed that Queen Victoria used Patchouli to protect her linen chests from moths).
It's deeply earthy, exotic and powerful aroma can be emotionally balancing for many. When burned or vaporised it is reputed to be good for calming nervous tension and relieving anxiety and lethargy.

How to use:

To diffuse in a traditional burner, simply fill dish with water and add a few drops of oil on top before lighting the candle. For electrical fragrancers, follow instructions given by the manual. For massage: dilute in a carrier oil and gently massage over the skin. Add a few drops to a handkerchief or inhale directly from the bottle if you are on the go. Dilute in distilled water and pour into spray bottle for an all-natural room fragrancer.

Add 2-3 drops to a vaporiser to help lift the mood and soothe any tension. Dilute to a maximum of 1% in a carrier oil and use in massage to help balance emotions and relieve stress. Try blending with baking soda and coconut oil to make an all natural deodorant. Add 2-3 drops to a bath along with other balancing oils such as Rose, Jasmine or Lavender to help you de-stress and rejuvenate. Add 3-4 drops to 5ml of shampoo or conditioner base and enjoy its wonderfully soothing aroma as you shower and help reduce the appearance of dandruff.

Dilute in a carrier oil before skin application. Keep away from children and out of eyes. Do not take internally or apply undiluted to the skin. For further advice on using essential oils to treat medical conditions, we recommend you seek advice from a professional.
