Pogostemom cablin is a bushy herb that grows up to 3 ft. Originally from Malaysia and India, it is now cultivated throughout China, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It is a perennial plant with large fragrant, furry leaves and white flowers. To extract the Oil, it is necessary to rupture the cell walls of the leaf before steam distillation. Patchouli Essential Oil is largely distilled in primitive stills located in jungle villages. The oil is sensitive to iron. In these jungle stills it is next to impossible to avoid contact with iron. The result: An essential oil which is a dark yellow to reddish color. Connoisseurs of Patchouli appreciate this color and request it. Patchouli Essential Oil has a very rich, sweet, herb-like, earthy aroma, which improves with age. 

FACT: Patchouli became the essential oil of choice for the Hippie culture in the 1960’s. Its unique scent was used to mask the odor of cannabis (marijuana).

AUROMA QUALITY

AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:

  1. BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
  2. CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
  3. GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
  4. COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
  5. WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
  6. EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
  7. ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
