Benefits of Patchouli Essential Oil:

1. Relieves Depression - This oil works great for people suffering from depression. It helps them to get over the feelings of sadness or loss and fills them with new hope. That is why patchouli essential oil is so frequently used in aromatherapy. It uplifts the mood, drives away disappointment, and relaxes tension in a majority of people. This is due to the impact that inhaling patchouli essential oil has on the hormones and various chemical reactions in the body and mind. By stimulating the release of pleasure hormones like serotonin and dopamine, feelings of anxiety, anger, and sadness simply disappear.
2. Soothes Inflammation - It soothes inflammation, particularly if the inflammation or irritation is a result of fever, and it also provides relief from the fever itself. This means that patchouli essential oil is useful in treating a wide array of skin conditions, as well as internal inflammation from conditions like arthritis and gout.
3. Prevents Infections - Patchouli essential oil protects wounds and ulcers from developing infections and becoming septic. This is perhaps the most important property of this oil since small wounds in the skin can lead to many serious infections, including tetanus, if the wound was inflicted with a rusty, iron object. Patchouli essential oil protects against that possibility as well.
4. Astringent Property - This powerful essential oil stimulates contractions of muscles, nerves, and skin. This helps strengthen the hold of gums on the teeth, prevent sagging skin, hair loss, and loosening of muscle tissue. The astringency of patchouli oil also helps stop hemorrhaging by contracting the blood vessels. It can act as an anti-aging substance in this way since loosening of muscle and skin is commonly associated with getting old.
5. Speeds up Healing - Patchouli essential oil helps speed the healing process of cuts and wounds, and also hastens the fading of scars. It is similarly effective in eliminating marks left by boils, acne, pox, and measles.
6. Stimulates Blood Circulation - This property of the essential oil of patchouli promotes growth by stimulating the generation of new cells. It also helps in the production of red blood cells, which can boost energy levels. By increasing the circulation, it also increases the oxygenation of organs and cells throughout the body, increasing their functionality and boosting metabolism. Patchouli essential oil is good at regenerating new skin cells, thus keeping the skin looking healthy, young, and vibrant.
7. Eliminates Bad Odor - The strong sweet, spicy, and musky aroma of this essential oil eliminates or masks body odor. However, it should be used in a diluted form as the aroma of patchouli oil might be very strong to some people’s olfactory senses. It remains a popular oil to use as a cologne in many demographics. Some people find the smell wonderful, while others are somewhat irritated by its distinctive aroma.
8. Stimulates Urination - It increases the frequency of urination as well as the quantity of urine. This helps to lose weight, lower blood pressure, increase appetite, lower cholesterol, and remove toxins from the body. Urination removes excess water, unnecessary salts, and uric acid, which reduce your chances of developing gallbladder stones and kidney stones, as well as conditions like gout.
9. Reduces Fever - Patchouli essential oil reduces body temperature in cases of fever by fighting the infections that cause it. As an antiphlogistic, it relieves inflammation, which simultaneously helps to bring it down, since fever can be reduced to some extent if the pain and inflammation associated with it are eliminated.
10. Inhibits Fungal Growth - Patchouli essential oil has been found to be quite effective at inhibiting fungal growth and infection, thereby providing protection from some notorious infections like Athlete’s foot. Fungal infections can be quite serious, especially when they attack the respiratory system through inhalation. Patchouli essential oil becomes very valuable at that point to keep your body fully protected.
11. Kills Insects - As mentioned earlier, the insecticidal property of patchouli oil was recognized all the way back in ancient times. Despite smelling sweet, it is very effective at keeping insects at a distance. It is frequently used in sprays, body lotions, fumigants, vaporizers, and incense sticks. It can also be mixed with water to wash clothes and bed linen to drive away mosquitoes, ants, bed bugs, lice, fleas, flies, and moths. Only a few drops are required to keep insects away or you can also burn the oil in a room and have the effects last even longer. However, be careful about burning the oil inside, as its distinct smell can quickly seep into your fabric and furniture.
