Patchouli

Few people have heard of Patchouli essential oil, but it deserves much more attention than it receives. 

Patchouli originated in Indonesia, India, China, and Brazil. The essential oil is distilled from dried patchouli leaves. With an earthy odor, Patchouli essential oil boasts amazing benefits to the skin and nervous system. 

It can be used as an effective mosquito repellant. Patchouli is a fantastic remedy for itchy skin, acne, eczema, sores, fungal skin infections, and more. It's also effective for varicose veins, poor circulation, anxiety, and mood swings.

Patchouli can even provide sleep support when blended with other sedative essential oils.
