HISTORY----The name ‘patchouli’ is from theHindustan and has a long history of medicinal use in Malaysia,China, India and Japan. It was a renowned antidote against insectand snake bite. The greater volume of oil was distilled in BritishMalaya for many years but the Seychelles become large producersduring the last world war –though the oil is said to be slightlyinferior to the Malay.

Dried patchouli leaves were placed amongst the folds of Indiancashmere shawls in Victorian times to protect the merchandise frommoths.

Couldwell be helpful in cases of  diarrhoea too.

Seems to have marked diuretic properties which could provevaluable in cases of water retention and cellulite. Also said tooffset heavy sweating , though certainly has a marked deodorizingaction , helpful when feeling hot and bothered.

There is some association between patchouli and increasinglibido. Its bracing  action on the central nervoussystem  may account for this! However , it is neither toosedative nor too stimulating which effectively assists feelings ofbalance .
