Patchouli Oil & Benefits
The yellow-brown patchouli oil is slightly viscous, it has an intoxicating sweet-spicy oriental scent. The oil has a long shelf life and its quality improves over time – an oil of 5 years old, for example, is very viscous and has a heavy sweet aroma. Patchouli oil should be used diluted, and even in that small amount, its intense fragrance lasts a long time.
Patchouli oil has a very beneficial effect on the skin and helps to reduce wrinkles or chapping. Patchouli essential oil has decongestant properties making it an effective synergy for heavy legs, varicose veins and haemorrhoids.
The pleasant scent of patchouli, as well as its stimulating or soothing properties, also makes it a popular oil in aromatherapy. Interestingly, patchouli in small amounts has a stimulating effect on the nervous system, however it has the opposite effect when used in larger amounts – in this case it has a calming effect.
