Patchouli Leaf (Pogostemon cablin)
Most people are use to patchouli used in perfumery. However, patchouli has numerous medicinal uses. Among the conditions it has been used to treat are dysentery, diarrhea, colds without fevers, vomiting, and nausea. The essential oil may be used to treat acne, dry skin, fungal infections, dermatitis, dandruff and eczema. The fresh leaves can help aid healing in burns, and in aromatherapy, it is used to calm nerves and control appetite, relieve depression, stress and lack of sexual interest. In addition to its medicinal and perfumery uses, patchouli also repels insects, and is often used in the east to scent bed linens and keep fleas and other pests at bay.
Patchouli leaf powder is often combined with cornstarch and/or arrowroot powders for use as a natural body powder.
Precautions: Its internal use is not recommended unless by a qualified practitioner
Note: This is powdered patchouli leaf
