Patchouli oil has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal properties. It has been traditionally used for treating the symptoms of the common cold, nausea, and headache, as a relaxant, for reducing dandruff, and in skincare as an antiseptic, for reducing scarring and promoting wound healing. The oil has a strong fragrance that is useful for masking smells and in dental care. Popular ways to enjoy it include placing a few drops in a warm bath, or adding a few drops to a diffuser to aid inhalation and stimulate mental well-being.
