I chose iron distilled (dark) Patchouli for the Emerald line for it's authenticity to the most ancient distilling and aging methods of this oil. While both are valuable, I love the beautiful golden color, and deeper, richer scent throw of the Patchouli dark. You can't find better anywhere and it's an honor to be able to offer this beautiful oil to YOU!
Even people who know nothing about essential oils can recognize the scent of Patchouli. Part of the mint family, it has received a somewhat tainted reputation as a "hippie oil" based on its use by gypsies, and music festival goers who would use it in place of showers while on the road. However, Patchouli essential oil in its true, pure form is sincerely LOVELY, and packs powerful healing constituents that make it a must for every natural medicine cabinet.
This is one of the best to reach for skin infections, skin inflammation, nail fungus, and when life has you STRESSED and BATTLING low moods, LACK OF CREATIVITY or DEPRESSION.
The biochemical healing constituents in its earthy, musky, and florally sweet scent that goes right to the amygdala in your brain, then travels through the bloodstream to start working within three seconds, can help your mind and breathing settle and calm, so you can get back to the creative, productive place with Messiah, Yeshua that He created you to abide in. No wonder the enemy stole and tainted this beautiful plant scent from YHWH to associate with the secular hippie culture, he knew it would be needed for such a time as NOW with all we as believers are facing in these end times and wanted us to overlook this beatufiul gift from the Father as something cheap and dirty. That just couldn't be further from the truth. I praise Jesus for the gift of healing Patchouli and know with just one use, you will too.
