COMPLEX, DEEP & SULTRY

Our moonies love patchouli oil for its spicy complexity and ability to add depth and lasting power to essential oil blends.

Deep, sultry and complex, Patchouli oil is one of those fragrances that leaves an impression. We have so many moonies who use patchouli essential oil as the basis for their personal perfume it's crazy.

Patchouli is a very fragrant herb with soft oval leaves and square stems. It grows from 2 to 3 feet in height.

History: One interesting point is that patchouli was used to scent fabric and cloth sent form India to Europe and so the scent was associated with the Far East.  Another is that in the Flower Power era patchouli was used to hide the scent of Marijuana...quite unsuccessfully I am told by reliable sources...as where there was a whiff of patchouli in the air then our officers of law and order would immediately look for drug use!

Patchouli improves with age, and that the aged product is definitely preferred over freshly harvested.In fact Leonie has some aged patchouli in her personal supplies that is so old it is thick and resinous..with a superb aroma. Needless to say this precious aged oil is used sparingly.
So why not put some patchouli aside and let it age gracefully...keep it in a dark box in a cool, dry area and revisit it in 5, 10 or even 20 years time.  Your nose will appreciate the quality.

  • Diffuse: Add 5 to 10 drops to your chosen essential oil or blend to the diffuser or oil burner. Experiment with different combinations of oils and blends.  Don't forget to write each blend into a dedicated notebook along with your feedback. That way you'll get to know which blends are the most effective for you.
  • Bath: Do not add undiluted essential oils to your bathwater. Oil and water do not mix. Instead mix 3 to 5 drops of your chosen essential oils or blends  with a drop of shampoo/ detergent or in 20 ml (1 tablespoon) of full cream milk. Add this emulsion to the bathwater and slip in. The essential oils emulsifies in shampoo / detergent / milk and so distributes them more evenly throughout the bathwater.
  • Warm Compress: Place 1 drop of essential oil into a small bowl of warm water. Soak a washcloth in the water and wring out well. Place the washcloth over the face with eyes closed and relax, Repeat as needed. Do not exceed 1 drop of essential oil and use with caution when using strong essential oils and blends like Moon Haven's Clove, Cinnamon, Thieves Essential oils and blends.
  • Steam Shower Inhalation: Enjoy an aromatherapy shower by placing 3 to 5 drops of your choice of essential oils and /or blends on a washcloth on the floor of your shower. Turn off the fan and enjoy the essential oil laden steam while you shower. (Note: Do not place essential oils directly onto the shower tiles as the oils may break down the tile glaze)
  • Massage Oil: Create your own massage medium oil or cream. Use Moon Haven's Essential Oil Dilutions Chart to calculate the correct number of essential oil drops to add to your chosen carrier oil or massage cream. enjoy!
  • Direct Inhalation: Sometimes we just need a quick pick me up and that can mean just opening up your favourite essential oil or blend and taking a quick whiff. Alternatively, if you find the scent from an open bottle a little too strong for you, just smell the bottle cap. The result will be a gentler, more subtle fragrance.

THE PATCHOULI ESSENTIAL OIL STORY

Patchouli is a fascinating essential oil. Many of our moonies are initially put off by the deeply resinous scent when they first smell it. What is curious though is that when a dilution of the oil is applied to the skin the scent will mature and develop over time. Our advice is to don't make a judgement on whether you like patchouli until at least 15 minutes after application.

Patchouli is a very fragrant herb with soft oval leaves and square stems. It grows from 2 to 3 feet in height.

History: One interesting point is that patchouli was used to scent fabric and cloth sent form India to Europe and so the scent was associated with the Far East.  Another is that in the Flower Power era patchouli was used to hide the scent of Marijuana... quite unsuccessfully I am told by reliable sources... as where there was a whiff of patchouli in the air then our officers of law and order would immediately look for drug use!
