Originally used medicinally to heal burns, calm nerves and control the appetite, It was brought to Europe through the wrapping of shawls in patchouli, where it was used as a moth repellent. It was also used to protect from bed bugs and as shampoo when mixed with lemongrass. Today, it is used on aromatherapy to calm nerves, and relieve depression and stress.
