Patchouli oil

5 replies

Downunderduchess · 24/03/2020 22:47

I ordered some organic groceries to be delivered & I also bought some patchouli oil, as there was a miniature spend. I love the smell of it, so thought it would be a nice treat at this time. It’s a tiny bottle & I’m not sure what I do with it, do I need a carrier oil to mix it with? I was just going to put it on cotton balls & place them around the house, I do that with eucalyptus & lavender sometimes. But the bottle is so tiny, I don’t think this is a good idea. Any suggestions?

Put some on your leather jacket?

If you have a burner you can put a few drops of it in the dish filled with water - it’s a strong scent so a little goes a long way!

Yes you need a carrier oil (I use almond oil) . I don't like patchouli but I like most other ess. oils, I use them for all my basic needs.

I've been using them most effectively for coping with my bad cold. Clary sage literally calms the coughing right down so I can sleep well , that and lavender are amazing for sleeping!!
