1. \tTreat Sexual Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The regular usage of patchouli <\/a>essential can help to address such sexual problems as erectile dysfunction. A particularly difficult subject for many men to open up about, the potential power of patchouli will make anyone stand to attention as they learn of its capabilities as a natural treatment option. A temporary loss of libido can also be aided by patchouli. Even impotence can see some resolution when patchouli is used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, both male and female sexual drive issues can be resolved by patchouli. The oil promotes the secretion of estrogen in women and testosterone in men, making it a miracle cure for bedroom difficulties. The awkward situation of identifying the partner with the problem is also negated, given that patchouli can help each sex equally.

2. \tReduces Inflammation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The topical application of patchouli, meaning when it is applied directly onto the skin, can help reduce inflammation <\/a>and soothe the associated pain. This inflammation, which is caused by irritation, could potentially become more problematic, the longer it is left unaddressed and untreated. The naturally soothing properties of patchouli can not only stop swelling at the source but could also provide some relief from dermatitis and the itching sensations that come with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using the oil in a diffuser, the anti-inflammatory benefits may also be realized internally, bringing about an improvement in the management of such issues like arthritis. It isn\u2019t a cure for ailments like this, but if it helps even a small amount, it\u2019s a natural choice for affected people to add to their toolkit of treatment options. Reducing inflammation is often something that people leave to over the counter medications, but a natural alternative is surely something worth considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. \tAs a Diuretic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is some evidence to suggest that patchouli essential oil may also prove to be beneficial as a diuretic <\/a>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. \tPrevents the Growth of Cancerous Cells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A major player in the makeup of patchouli essential oil, patchouli alcohol can limit the development of malignant cancer <\/a>cells. It can even eliminate them in some instances, or at least initiate the process of apoptosis, which is a process where cancer cells in the cellular stage are prevented from spreading rapidly, and sometimes at all. In an effort to disrupt the regular division of cells, patchouli can be effective at inhibiting cancer cell growth that results from damaged tissue developing tumors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unchecked development of even malignant tumors can have serious implications for some of the body\u2019s major organs. Essential oils are neglected in the world of medicine, and they are regarded as alternative treatments or home remedies, even though they are naturally extracted from natural origins. Their effectiveness in the treatment of some cancer cells shouldn\u2019t be ignored though, as the evidence is mounting to back up the theories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. \tPromotes Healthy Cell Growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is important to elaborate on the last point by stressing that patchouli essential doesn’t actually inhibit the recovery of healthy cells. It may act as a promoter or a stimulant of healthy cell growth in fact, as it increases the number of red blood cells that are available to support the regrowth of healthy cells and surrounding tissues<\/a>. This boost in the availability and abundance of red blood cells can bring about an increase in energy levels throughout the entire body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual efficiency of the body’s use of oxygen is also increased by the development of more red blood cells, meaning that the various metabolic activities throughout the body are improved in their performance and effectiveness. The use of patchouli essential oil doesn’t directly bring about healthy cell groups then, more accurately it triggers certain actions in the body, such as an increase in red blood cells, which subsequently work to bring about healthy cell growth further down the chain of events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. \tPotentially Effective for Mouth Cleansing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Oral cleansers commercially available today are mainly only suitable in the removal of small, annoying odors. They may not actually assist in the treatment of genuine oral infections, that have far more serious implications than a case of bad breath. Essential oils, however, could provide a natural alternative for the removal of stains from teeth such as tobacco stains or red wine stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patchouli essential oil could also help to guard the mouth against the development of irritating bacterial infestations. When used as a homemade version of a mouthwash, patchouli essential oil can work to deodorize a person\u2019s mouth immediately, whilst at the same time ensuring that fresh smell is left over, enduring for a longer period of time. When used regularly, the essential oil can lead to fresh smelling breath at all times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its antibacterial properties, patchouli essential oil can be highly successful in the elimination of the bacteria that causes bad breath. When combined with peppermint oil, the fragrance is especially delightful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Improves the Appearance of the Skin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The hydrating properties of patchouli essential-have long been harnessed in the application of beauty treatments. By providing additional moisture to the skin, patchouli essential oil can cause the skin to appear much more youthful than it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aesthetic charm that everyone seeks from beauty treatments like this is summarized by a youthful glow and a beautiful exuberance. Improved hydration <\/a>can contribute to further skin benefits such as acne treatment and prevention, even for people with, particularly acne-prone skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sebum-producing skin cells are stopped in their tracks when the oil is applied topically and liberally, but it is also effective as part of a combination of essential oils, particularly when joining forces with jojoba or coconut oils. Radiant and youthful skin can be achieved when patchouli essential oil is applied twice daily, as it helps to treat acne pimples and clear up the lingering imprint of scars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. \tInhibits Fungal Growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many essential oils that have antifungal properties, and patchouli essential oil is no different. It is very capable when it comes to inhibiting fungi<\/a> growth, as it serves to eradicate even the most difficult of fungal infections. Athlete\u2019s foot is one example of the types of fungal infections that patchouli essential oil can effectively treat. Fungal infections cannot be ignored, as when left untreated they can worsen and spread to other parts of the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those familiar with the later stages of fungal infections will be all too aware of the implications it can for the respiratory system. If a bodily fungal infection has got to the point of causing breathing difficulties though, a person\u2019s basic hygiene should be addressed as a matter of urgency, before any natural or holistic additions are made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topical application of patchouli oil doesn\u2019t have to be as a last resort for when fungal infections take hold, and it is even more effective as a preventative measure, before even the slightest hint of the development of fungi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
