PROPERTIES & USES

Patchouli, as with other oils, has a variety of properties leading to many uses. The heavy musky odor helps many control anxiety or fight depression. Aromatically it is also effective with breathing disorders.

Because of its antibacterial properties it may be applied topically to wounds and has the added benefit of regeneration of skin tissue thereby reducing scarring. It may also be used topically for insect and snake bites.

Further, for the skin, it is a great cleansing agent and has been suggested for acne, dermatitis, eczema and even hemorrhoids.

Dr. David Hill in discussing the properties of Patchouli mentions it having more than 24 sesquiterpenes that allows this essential oil to cross the blood-brain barrier making it a very effective protector of the central nervous system.

He also suggests it is effective, in combination with Vetiver, for children with ADHD or autism and adults with Alzheimers or recovering from a stroke.

His application suggestions are to apply a few drops to the roof of the mouth, the base of the skull, or the bottom of the feet or to simply breath the aroma of Patchouli.
