Patchouli is my favorite oil, although I know a lot who may not be in love with the scent.
To describe its aroma, it smells like petrichor, or the smell of the earth when rain falls on dry soil. This scent reminds me so much of my happy childhood and makes me nostalgic.
Patchouli has the following therapeutic properties*:
- anti-inflammatory
- sedative
- skin-support
Energetically, Patchouli oil is good for those who are always in their head and may need grounding (this is soo me, haha). It also balances your Earth element and I can totally relate with this because as a cusp-Taurean, my other element is the Earth.
