STRENGTH, CHARACTER & ALLURE

Yes, these are characteristics and benefits attributed to Patchouli essential oil, which is probably the most powerful of any essence extracted from plants. And yes, Patchouli is also considered as an aphrodisiac, as well as having grounding and balancing effects on mood.

And unknown to most Malaysians, the Patchouli plant, a species of plant from the genus Pogostemon, is native to Malaysia.

But what a contradictory essential oil in practical use…..it is one of the few essential oils (including Frankincense, Cedarwood, Sandalwood and Vetiver) that actually improves with age, so we can disregard those best-before dates!!! Like Vetiver, as it ages, the oil turns from light yellow to a very deep amber, with the aroma becoming smoother richer.

Over many centuries Patchouli oil has been used in traditional medicine in Malaysia, China and Japan. The main use has been in treating skin conditions, and has been of benefit in cases of dermatitis, eczema, acne, and dry chapped skin. Patchouli was also used in treating dandruff and oily scalp conditions. Patchouli may also be useful as a cell rejuvenator in helping to heal wounds and reducing the appearance of scars.

No surprise then that our best selling soap at Indochine Natural is our Patchouli bar. We also blend Patchouli essential oil into our Patchouli Lavender Face, and Spice Island Body Wash.

Pictured below is Patchouli in its raw dried form.

LOVE YOUR MAN WITH ALL-NATURAL BODY CARE

If your guy is a toothpaste-shampoo-bar-of-soap minimalist who occasional splashes on for special occasions with that cologne his mum gave him years ago, then perhaps its time to help him make the transition from conventional personal care products to organic and all-natural.  There are big benefits in going the natural route…..the first and most important is health and safety because he will no longer be placing potentially harmful chemicals on his skin each day.

A good place to start is with our all-natural Spice Island Body Wash that will leave his skin feeling clean, smooth and soft. Infused with the manly and exotic all-natural fragrances of Cinnamon, Aniseed and Clove, and because we know that men have a softer, sweeter side we have added Sweet Orange and a touch of earthy Patchouli.

Guaranteed to revive and freshen his senses, with astringent properties, and antibacterial, antifungal properties that are helpful in removal of body odours.
