Patchouli essential oil

Its aroma is particularly well-known in perfumery; in aromatherapy, it has interesting properties for combating issues related to blood circulation (heavy legs, varicose veins, spider veins), as well as being anti-inflammatory and skin regenerating. On a psycho-emotional level, it helps to ground oneself while enhancing creativity, making it ideal for artists, and it is beneficial during meditation sessions for grounding and self-affirmation.
