Patchouli Oil

Ji’an Zhongxiang Natural Plants Co.,Ltd

The essential oil of patchouli is extracted by steam distillation of the leaves of the patchouli plant. It is used topically in a diluted form or in aromatherapy. Patchouli oil has a strong sweet musky smell, which can seem overpowering to some. This is why a little bit of the oil goes a long way.

Apart from its health benefits, patchouli oil is also known for its pesticidal properties.

Health Benefits of Patchouli Essential Oil

Much of the benefits associated with patchouli oil are anecdotal in nature. Many of these are practiced regularly in aromatherapy. Science is now discovering that there could be a deep relationship between the compounds present in essential oils and our health. These work topically and through inhalation.

1.Relieves Depression

Patchouli oil is used in aromatherapy to relax and relieve stress. Add a few drops of the oil to your diffuser to improve your mood and to relax after a stressful day.

This is why patchouli essential oil is so frequently used in aromatherapy. It is believed to lift one’s mood, and induce relaxation.

2.Prevents Infections

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that patchouli oil can cure a number of infections. Research has shown that it contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. You can use these antimicrobial properties by adding a few drops to your diffuser.

Some people use it for a massage with a carrier oil like jojoba, almond, or avocado oil. It can also help in setting up the mood through an aromatherapy diffuser.

3.Skin Care

Patchouli oil was traditionally used in some Asian cultures for its benefits for the skin. The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties can protect our skin against rashes and other conditions. You can add a couple of drops to your regular face creams and lotions in your everyday skincare routine.

It also pairs well with oils like jojoba and lavender.

Patchouli Essential Oil Uses

Patchouli oil is used topically as well as in aromatherapy. Its usage may differ according to your need. Here are a few ways you can use patchouli oil:

In Aromatherapy:

Patchouli oil is usually used in aromatherapy to induce relaxation and relieve stress. Make sure that you use a well-ventilated room for aromatherapy and take a break after half an hour. Patchouli oil blends well with other essential oils like rose, sandalwood, and cedarwood.

 For Skin:

You can apply patchouli oil topically as well. Add a few drops to your moisturizer or body oil/lotion. For an all-natural skincare routine, you can also add it to carrier oils like jojoba and avocado oil. To check for allergies, we recommend that you do a patch test first.

Just apply the diluted oil to a small patch on your skin and check for any adverse reactions. You can also use it in your bath water where the warm water will help your skin to soak in the oil. Remember to dilute the oil with carrier oils like avocado, jasmine, olive, and jojoba.

As a Pesticide

Patchouli oil is known for its pesticide properties. To use it, add a few drops to a spray bottle containing water. You can spray this solution in areas where you have a pest infestation.
