A Few Medicinal Properties of Patchouli

Anti Depressant: Patchouli is known to help treat depression, reduce stress, uplift moods and relax tension.
Anti Phlogistic or Anti- inflammatory: Counters inflammation and fevers.
Anti Septic: Protects wounds from infections, and in some Asian countries Patchouli is used for treating venomous snake bites.
Astringent: The astringency in Patchouli is believed to help stop hemorrhage by contracting the blood vessels. Astringent properties induce contractions in muscles, nerves and skin. This can also help in preventing hair loss, sagging of skin and loosening of muscles.

Deodorant: Effectively keeps body odor away with its strong aroma. Recommended to be used in dilution.
