The cold in the weather intensifies with each day that passes. Your skin, as supple and soft as it used to be loses its moisture and radiance. You crave a multi-purpose product that could end your beauty woes – perhaps an essential oil like Patchouli might help.
Those with natural hair can experiment with this oil as it is believed to be used in conditioning dreadlocks. Its valuable properties for the skin involve restoring skin cells which may lead to a deflection of wrinkles. This function extends to the tautening of flabby skin as a result of extensive weight loss – another one of its abilities.
The winter and harmattan weathers usually accompanied by cold, dry air tend to encourage parched and unattractive skin; patchouli oil has the ability to restore skin moisture without increasing its oiliness. It also helps control acne and other hair issues like dandruff and seborrhea. This plant has even been associated with improving cases of cellulite and varicose veins.
In medicinal territory, patchouli’s incredible uses range from bloating reduction and water retention related to PMS to healing jock itch, athlete’s foot, candida and vaginitis. Distresses associated with such skin disorders as psoriasis and eczema may be relieved by the use of this oil.
Patchouli is believed to help reduce depression and anxiety and other stress-related conditions. Its cooling effect also makes it a perfect choice for women experiencing the woes of menopause.
As a precaution, carefully read all labeled instructions before using this or any essential oil.
