Essential Oil - Patchouli
A favourite of the parfumier for centuries and made particularly well known in the 60s, this oil can have a bit of a hard time in terms of reputation sometimes. But we think this idea's outdated and love the woody deep notes of this oil, especially if sweetened with a few floral scents. It's got antiseptic and alalgesic properties too, so it is in every way a useful oil.
As a safe guide, use no more than 8 drops in a bath for a skin nourishing soak, 2-3 drops in a foot spa (or old washing up bowl for the old fashioned among us...) and no more than 4 drops per 100mls of base or carrier oil.
