Alchemica Botanica Huo Xiang

Pogostemonis Herba

This true Patchouli essential oil is steam-distilled from the dried, fermented leaves of Guang Hou Xiang aka Nan (southern) Hou Xiang. The traditional process of fermentation prior to distillation infuses its essential oil with the power of alchemical transformation, affecting dampness and gloom by opening the Chung Mai meridian.

Huo Xiang’s aroma is musky, woody, and spicy. Its effect is quickly felt as it moves down the esophagus and spreads into the stomach, awakening the appetite and bringing on a lightness and clarity to thought and emotion. It’s also easy to use and cost effective.
