Patchouli – Essential oil
Format: 5 ml
Certified pure
Origin: Indonesia
An essential oil with an intense and unique scent! Patchouli arrived in England and France in the 19th century thanks to the success of cashmere shawls that were imported from Asia and transported and protected from moths during the journey because they were well wrapped in patchouli leaves. Its many benefits, far outweigh its reputation for scent and remain to be discovered.1
According to a study2 published in 2007, regular massages with patchouli essential oil (accompanied by relaxing music) significantly reduce work-related stress, especially among nurses in the emergency department. Two 12-week alternative therapy sessions were provided over the course of a year. Eighty-six nurses participated in the study, 39 of whom attended both the summer and winter sessions. The researchers found that 60% of the staff - 54% in the summer and 65% in the winter - had moderate to extreme anxiety. But that number dropped to just eight percent, regardless of season, once staff received 15-minute massages of the shoulders, mid-back, neck, forehead and scalp time. An aromatherapy mist was diffused over their heads, and they listened to relaxing music through headphones. What emerged from this study was that providing an aromatherapy massage had an immediate and dramatic effect on staff who traditionally suffer from high anxiety levels due to the nature of their work.
A cherished oil adopted by hippies during the 70's, for sure, its scent never ceases to seduce from one era to the next! This patchouli has a quiet strength. An essential for your well-being and relaxation!
