patchouli
   
 

Pogostemon patchouli

An old favourite of the 60’s. This oil is great for treating oily skin. Its strong earthy herbaceous odour is used in the East to scent linen and clothes.

It has a cell regeneration action (as do lavender, neroli, tangerine and mandarin). In the mid eastern countries it is used for poisonous snake bites and stings. 

As it is an anti-fungal, athletes foot can be treated as well as dandruff. With the skin regenerating action, it is particularly helpful for scar tissue, cracked skin and the more mature type skin.
