5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Patchouli!, March 17, 2010

Now Foods carries a wonderful patchouli oil, do not hesitate to purchase it. It is by far one of the best patchouli oils that I've found. It smells even better if you age it a bit. A quick way to age the oil is to unscrew the cap (leave it on, just unscrew it) and place it somewhere that is cool & dark, like a cupboard, for a month or two.
The reviewer who stated it does not measure up to the real patchouli oil from the 60's obviously knows very little about patchouli. The patchouli Now Foods carries is a pure, undiluted essential oil, thus making it REAL patchouli. The patchouli that was around in the 60's was often times not a pure essential or was mixed with other oils, such as sandalwood. Patchouli has been around for centuries, it wasn't just a 60's thing. I also feel I should point out that the way it smells also has a lot to do with the country it's grown in, the growing conditions, how it's distilled, how it's stored, & the age of the patchouli oil itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, June 8, 2011

This Patchouli Oil is great!

Upon opening the bottle, I found a somewhat young, but still refreshing, oil that will be fantastic if left to age for a time (Patchouli is one of the few essential oils that gets better as it ages).

The NOW brand is also a good value, as a little Patchouli tends to go a long way. The 4oz bottle should last most people for quite some time.

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Natural Anti bacterial Deodorant, September 26, 2011

I use this religiously for deodorant. With a dropper I just drop a few drops on my armpit and rub it in so that it covers the whole area.
It works naturally to kill the bacteria that grows there which is why our armpits ends up stinking so bad if you don't clean them.
And the bonus to this is that while it is working to kill the bacteria it also puts off a strong but wonderfully natural smell.
Trust me you get used to the smell right away and don't even realize how wonderful you smell until people tell you! :)
It also seems to last much longer than conventional deodorants do. Giving you a true 24 hour protection! :) Of course this may vary from person to person.

The reason I started using it as deodorant is because I was reading Aromatherapy For Everyone (a great book with a lot of good ideas for essential oils) and on pg 92 it lists the therapeutic uses and how to apply it for most of these uses.....

THEIR LIST FOR PATCHOULI OIL USES....
Acne, antiperspirant, anxiety, athlete's foot and other fungal infections,
constipations, dandruff, deodorant, dermatitis, eczema, frigidity, insect bites,
insect repellent, impotence, libido, loose skin, oily hair and skin,
sexual anxiety, stress-related emotional disorders, water retention,
weight loos, and wounds.

Their Fun Fact on Patchouli....
In Victorian England, people would buy imported Indian cashmere shawls only if they smelled like patchouli.
It's scent proved the shawls had been protected from moths during shipment.
