Absolute Essential Patchouli Oil is a type of essential oil that is derived from the leaves of the patchouli plant through steam distillation. Patchouli oil is known for its distinct earthy, musky, and spicy aroma, and it has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and perfumery.
In aromatherapy, patchouli oil is believed to have a grounding and calming effect, making it a popular choice for use in relaxation blends. It is also thought to have antifungal, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties, and may be used to help soothe skin irritations or to promote wound healing.
As with any essential oil, it is important to use patchouli oil with caution and to dilute it properly before use, as it can be irritating to the skin or mucous membranes if used undiluted. It is also important to avoid using essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a trained healthcare professional.
