In several Asian countries, such as Japan and Malaysia, Patchouli is also used as an antidote for venomous snakebites.
*We recommend diluting all essential oils for skin application. Applying undiluted oils to the body can cause irritation and increase the risk of sensitization. While Kate's Magik essential oils are tested to ensure purity, we do not recommend or endorse taking essential oils internally unless you are working directly with a highly qualified practitioner who has been specifically trained in essential oil pharmacology.
