Patchouli Oil – 
Not just for Incense Anymore!

Patchouli Oil (Patchouly oil or Pachouli) has a sweet and rich aroma that is very supporting to healthy skin.

It may improve the appearance of chapped skin or dry skin; and is an ideal addition to your favorite skin care products.

Patchouli Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and flowers of the plant and is native to Asia.

Most of us remember patchouli as the incense and aroma of the 1960s and 1970s.

My favorite blend that contains patchouli oil is Peace & Calming essential oil blend. It is fantastic oil to reduce stress and nervous tension and to help you sleep better when an occassion may find you restless. I personally use it every day and night, and at the barn for the horses.

I designed this section so you could use it as a fun and easy reference guide. It will tell you how to use your oil and what to use it for. It will also provide you with some fun tips, testimonials and oil trivia!

As I receive new tips and testimonials they will be added to the page, so check back often!
