Healing With Patchouli

Good Morning Pictures, Images and PhotosG'morning everyone. Boy it sure is cold out here in Oregon today. I would just love right now to snuggle up with my blankie and coffee and watch a really long movie. Alas I have commitments this morning so I will just suck it up and get this post out.

Today we are going check out Patchouli oil...you may or may not remember it mostly for it's down-to-earth hippie smell ( oh I so love the smell, yes I am just a hippie at heart) but it is so much more than that! Patchouli is wonderfully relaxing when added to a massage oil or an oil burner. It's also a diuretic and is effective against stomach upsets and indigestion. So read on m'friends and learn about this wonderful oil!

The earthy, balmy aroma of Patchouli remains a symbol of the psychedelic 1960's associated with "flower power" and relaxed sexuality.

It is widely used in oriental perfumes and in incense and joss, when it is often blended with Jasmine and Sandalwood
