Patchouli alcohol Usage And Synthesis
Description Herbal oils are of various types depending on herbs used to extract the oil. The most important bioactive constituents of plants are alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. Amongst popular oils, Patchouli oil extracted from Pogostemon cablin is known not just for its health benefits but also for its fragrance. Patchouli is a perennial herb and a fragrant plant that basically grows in the tropical region throughout the world. Though patchouli oil is known for its perfumery uses and there are other medicinal properties attached with patchouli oil. Patchouli oil’s growing demand can be understood as it can neither be replaced inorganically nor synthesized because of its complex molecular structure. Hence, the only alternative is to cultivate the plant extensively. The aim of the present paper is to review the importance of patchouli extractions in the treatment of diseases that may be useful for the applications of this medicinal plant in the treatment of diseases.
