Patchouli
(Pogostemon cablin), also known as "the scent of the sixties,"
has a musky, earthy, exotic aroma. In Eastern cultures, it is commonly used
around the house to provide general support for health and to help reduce
negative emotions. It makes skin clear and helps to reduce wrinkled or chapped
appearance. Patchouli is a general tonic which soothes occasional queasiness.
Patchouli
oil came to fame in the 1980s as it had capability to mask the odor of
remaining herbs. Today, it is greatly utilized in aromatherapy, owing to its
sweet-smelling, deep, musky odor.
Patchouli Essential Oil extracted by the process of steam distillation of the dried leaves, which are necessary for rupture of its cell walls by steam scalding, light fermentation, or drying. Patchoulol, a sesquiterpine alcohol is the main chemical component of patchouli oil.
