IN ESSENCE…

In the 1800s, the scent of Patchouli Oil became the benchmark that determined the authenticity of Eastern fabrics like silk, as it was used to protect the fabrics from insects.

Patchouli Oil is believed to have received its name from the Hindi word “pacholi,” meaning “to scent.”

The Patchouli plant belongs to a family of other well-known aromatic plants, including Lavender, Mint, and Sage.

Patchouli Oil was traditionally used in Asian folk medicine to treat hair problems like dandruff and oily scalp, as well as skin irritations like dryness, acne, and eczema.

Patchouli Essential Oil has a grounding, balancing, calming scent and provides numerous health benefits, making it ideal for therapeutic use in cosmetics, aromatherapy, and cleaning products.
