3. As a Diuretic
There is some evidence to suggest that patchouli essential oil may also prove to be beneficial as a diuretic agent, helping the body in its efforts to get rid of any excess water and toxins which could cause problems. By increasing the frequency that someone needs to urinate, patchouli essential oil can help the body with the natural expulsion of the toxins released in urine, in order to maintain a healthy fluid balance within, and ensure the normalization of blood pressure.
Furthermore, patchouli essential oil could also potentially limit the accumulation of uric acid that brings with it the threat of the development of gallbladder stones and other similar illnesses. Next time you need to get the waterworks moving, it might be a good time to give patchouli ago, as a natural alternative to the over the counter medication which can lead to dehydration, if used inappropriately or excessively.
