Patchouli Products

Patchouli is a very strong, earthy scent that is considered to have the properties of healing and of grounding.

Since its introduction to Western culture, it has been mainly used in aromatherapy and perfumery. Additionally, it is also used as a fragrance in incenses, soaps and candles.

This blog will give you an overview of patchouli products and look at the different ways that you can incorporate patchouli into your life.

Patchouli is an aromatic herb from the mint family. It has long been used traditionally in many cultures. In the present day, scientists are still trying to learn more about the benefits of this exotic plant.

Due to its traditional popularity as a fragrance, patchouli is available in many different products, both on its own and also blended with other ingredients.

The product that is most often associated with patchouli is as an essential oil, distilled from the leaves of the patchouli plant.

The following is a list of Amazon’s top 5 best selling patchouli essential oils:

Blended with beeswax or soy wax, patchouli is popular in candles and often blended with sandalwood or frankincense to produce a relaxing and calming fragrance in your home.

Patchouli is also available in items of personal hygiene such as soaps and body powders, again often blended with other aromatics and essential oils such as sandalwood, lavender and jasmine.

Another soap which I find attractive is the Zum Patchouli Bar Soap which is coated in chocolate-colored speckles and looks like a dessert but has a spicy aroma and has smooth cleansing properties in the shower or bath.

For a friend or neighbor who is a practitioner of yoga and meditation, a patchouli scented candle will be appreciated to help them to focus their minds.

Likewise, for a friend who has been through a difficult situation, a gift of a patchouli candle or patchouli incense will also help to cleanse them of negative feelings and relieve anxiety.

Patchouli has traditionally been used as an aphrodisiac and as a gift it can speak of love and romance.

It is also an excellent choice as a house-warming gift for a new neighbor, so they can fill their new home with the delightful fragrance, and also get rid of any bugs or insects at the same time, since patchouli has well-known insecticide properties.
