Patchouli, Organic: Nepal (Pogostemon cablin)

Patchouli is from the mint family and grows in tropical climates. This bushy herb contains a deep earthy and woody fragrance that has been used in incense and perfumes for centuries. Historically the plant would assist with warding off insects, dealing with insect bites or sings, balancing the emotions, stomach problems, and to assist with skin rejuvenation (dermatitis, acne, dry). The abundant cultivation and the ability for this plant to be harvested two or three times a year greatly assist in keeping the price of Patchouli in the lower range of essential oils.

The highest quality Patchouli oil is said to be distilled during the rainy season. Oil that is distilled in an iron distiller will contain iron oxide, rust, and give it a dark coloring whereas oil from a stainless steel distiller will be light in color. Patchouli also is said to improve with age because as the oil ages it will have slight chemistry change that will increase its aroma by deepening the fragrance.
