Patchouli Essential Oil 100% Pure

Description

Patchouli essential oil is an aromatic paradox—simultaneously grounding and sensual, ancient yet timeless. Steam-distilled from the lush, fragrant leaves of the patchouli plant, this thick, amber-hued oil supports emotional balance, skin wellness, and spiritual grounding. Popularized in the 1960s, its use spans far beyond its bohemian roots, offering benefits for mind, body, and heart.

Active Components & How They Work

Patchouli oil is rich in patchoulol, alpha-bulnesene, and norpatchoulenol:

• Patchoulol is responsible for the oil’s deep scent and anti-inflammatory, skin-regenerating properties

• Alpha-bulnesene contributes antimicrobial effects and enhances emotional calm

• Norpatchoulenol provides grounding and mood-balancing effects, helping with tension and fatigue

These constituents contribute to Patchouli’s unique ability to nourish the skin while balancing the nervous system.

Energetic, Spiritual & Symbolic Properties

• Chakra: Root and Sacral (grounding, sensuality, emotional security)

• Color Correspondence: Deep burgundy or dark brown (earth, fertility, inner strength)

• Planetary Influence: Saturn and Pluto (transformation, grounding, mystery)

Patchouli is an emotional anchor. It’s ideal for those feeling disconnected, unrooted, or overwhelmed by life’s pace. Spiritually, it encourages embodiment and presence.
