This essential oil transports all of the magic of the Indies, pervading our beings and creating a sensual atmosphere that does not allow our senses to rest.
One either loves it or hates it. Its aphrodisiac effect hails from its origins hot spicy lands that have no equal in our imaginations except those of us who, for the innermost of reasons, possess the sensuality of these places hidden in our subconscious minds. The specificity of its use is born of this fact.
There is no harm in trying! This essence helps us to overcome the limits created by our mental blocks.
In stronger doses, Patchouli stimulates and tones like the sun that guides it. It can help us to reduce our level of anxiety while, in smaller doses, it has a decidedly sedative effect.
