Patchouli essential oil (Pogostemon cablin) has been popular for decades...especially during the hippie era. Its aroma is very rich and earthy, with an herbal and balsamic scent. It's also a kind of "love it or hate it" oil, and you'll likely find people drawn to it or absolutely repulsed. PRIMARY BENEFITS Grounding, balancing effect on emotions Promotes a smooth, glowing complexion Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks Used to treat skin and hair problems, such as dermatitis, eczema, acne, dry chapped skin, dandruff, and oily scalp. Wound healing and scar reducing properties EMOTIONAL BENEFITS Emotionally, patchouli essential oil is also said to connect one to their own body, helping a person release patterns of shame or "not enough-ness", and feel more self-love and acceptance towards their physical self. It does this by acting as a grounding support, helping you to reconnect with and settle into your body. In this way it compliments exercises that encourage body mindfulness, such as tai chi or yoga asanas. It can also help to relieve anxiety or stress, the things we often feel when we begin to disassociate and feel ungrounded or unbalanced. #milea #allorganics #organic #organicph #healthy #natural #patchouli #essentialoil #pure #pureoil #purepachouli #patchoulioil
