Patchouli
Root · Muladhara · 396 Hz
Plant your feet. Slow the breath.
The deepest base note in our range — a true Root-chakra oil, anchoring the body in the present moment. Pure Pogostemon cablin from the volcanic earth of Indonesia and India, steam-distilled from sun-cured leaves until the colour darkens and the scent matures. The longer it ages, the better it gets — like the practice it pairs with. Diffuse three drops with the 396 Hz tone, and feel the ground come up to meet you.

Aromatherapy tradition
- Grounding and centring — the steady base of meditation blends
- Skin that needs holding — settling tender, dry, or weathered areas
- Body in motion — long-lasting presence on the skin during massage
- A protective scent — historically used to scent linens in tropical regions
- The base that improves with time — patchouli matures rather than fades
Ritual use
- Diffusion — 3–5 drops (a little goes a long way). Play the 396 Hz tone. Breathe down into the belly.
- Massage — 1–2 drops within a 10-drop blend in 20 mL carrier oil
- Bath — 2–3 drops in 1 tbsp jojoba, half-full warm bath, before stepping in
