Calms stress & promotes sleep – Patchouli’s soothing aroma eases anxiety, uplifts mood, and helps you relax into restful sleep. Inhaling Patchouli has been shown to balance emotions and reduce spontaneous activity, improving sleep quality (Ito & Ito, 2011).

Boosts immunity – Patchoulol, her major component, has proven immunomodulatory effects. Studies show Patchouli supports recovery from viral infections like influenza and offers antibacterial protection (Liao et al., 2013; Ghule et al., 2006; Kiohara et al., 2012).

Heals & protects skin – Traditionally used in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, Patchouli cools and moisturizes skin, reduces dryness, eczema, and inflammation, and promotes wound healing. Also helps fade scars and works as a natural insect repellent (Holmes, 1997).
