I have been using Patchouli Essential Oil for many years now and it is such an amazing oil. It can be used in a variety of ways. Patchouli is from the Lamiaceae family, which is also known as the deadnettle or mint family. Patchouli is derived from an aromatic herb commonly found in India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, New Guinea, and the Philippines.
I am currently using Goloka Patchouli Essential Oil from India. There were a few bottles of essential oils on sale on my eBay store, but they are now all sold out. However, I will be stocking up on more bottles soon and there are other essential oils still available for sale here if you are interested.

How to Use Patchouli Essential Oil
Like every other essential oil, Patchouli is quite concentrated, so a little goes a long way. You would only need a few drops most of the time. Essential Oils should always be diluted with a carrier oil before skin application. Great carrier oils are grapeseed, coconut, jojoba, and avocado oils.
A great guide is 10ml of carrier oil and 5 drops of your essential oil mixed together. Always remember to shake really to blend the mixture before use.
