Patchouli’s complex and sensual aroma has the ability to connect the body and mind, which can help ground you and combat stress and anxiety. When added to a carrier oil, it soothes the skin, promotes tissue regeneration, hence speeding up wound-healing, and prevents infection. It also stimulates blood circulation and increases organ oxygenation throughout the body, which helps our body flush out toxins and reduces water retention. Patchouli is also used as an aphrodisiac.
