Patchouli Powder
Patchouli has many uses for those who enjoy its aromatic scent. This blog post explains how patchouli powder can be used in a variety of ways.
After patchouli essential oil has been distilled from the leaves of the patchouli plant, the leaves are then shade-dried and can be crushed to a powder.
The powder is generally used in incense sticks or burned on a charcoal tablet in a censer, and can also have other uses.
In incense sticks the patchouli powder is often blended with other aromatic woods such as sandalwood and palo santo, and is burned to create a natural, organic way to fill a space with a fragrance that is pleasant but not overpowering.
Incense is one of the most common forms of scented fragrance. People often use incense to hold a change of mood, to help increase focus, or just to fill a room with a pleasant smell.
Many natural healers use a blend of patchouli powder and other aromatic woods along with crystals to encourage healing and well-being, during a massage session and therapy.

A very popular blend of patchouli powder with other aromatics in the form of incense is aimed specifically at those who are preparing for a romantic encounter, perhaps cleansing and perfuming a room for an evening of romance.
This is actually the Passion Blend incense, and is a mixture of patchouli, dragon’s blood and white sage.
There are some forms of patchouli powder that do not require a charcoal tablet, and they are self-igniting.
This type of patchouli incense powder can burn freely on its own without charcoal or another continuous heat source, and provides a deep, rich, earthy aroma during meditation or yoga.
Patchouli powder can also be found blended with other ingredients as a body powder. It usually has a powder medium like arrowroot or cornstarch as a base, and patchouli powder is added in a blend.
Patchouli and lavender body powder is soothing and refreshing, and helps reduce heat rash, absorbing excess moisture.
Sandalwood and patchouli body powder is silky and smooth, earthy and woody, a great unisex scent.
