Patchouli Essential Oil

Someone recently asked us about patchouli essential oil. Patchouli essential oil is one of the essential oils we use in our men's hair products, and our citrus ylang-ylang products. You may wonder why we use natural essential oils in Northwest Scents hair products. We use essential oils in our products because they are a natural way to add scent and therapeutic value to our products. If you are interested in learning more about essential oils and their properties, you may want to read " The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils " by Julia Lawless. This book is a standard in the area of essential oils. According to Ms. Lawless, patchouli essential oil is naturally anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and bactericidal. It is naturally effective against dandruff and dermatitis. What that means is that it can help deal with some of the scalp and hair problems that people have. That is why we use it in some of our hair care products.
