6. Diuretic
Due to its diuretic properties, patchouli oil increases both the quantity and frequency of urination. Consequently, this helps improve appetite, lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure levels, stimulate weight loss, and eliminate toxic waste from the body.

As mentioned in the very beginning, patchouli oil acts as tonic which tones up the body, improves metabolic functions like absorption of nutrients, and tones the intestines, liver, and the stomach.
10. Cytophylactic
This property stimulates growth by encouraging the generation of new cells. It stimulates the production of red blood cells too, which in turn increases energy. Ultimately, by boosting oxygenation of organs and cells in the body, it increases the overall metabolism.
11.Deodorant
Due to its rich, sweet and musky fragrance of this oil, it is effective in eliminating body odor. But, note that it can be quite strong to some people`s senses, so always use it in a diluted form.
12. Insecticide
Patchouli oil is effective at repelling insects like ants, mosquitoes, flies, moths, fleas, lice, and beg bugs. It is often used in vaporizers, fumigants, body lotions, sprays, and incense sticks.
13.Fungicide
Last but not least, patchouli oil stops fungal infections and growths at their tracks, meaning that it protects against infections like Athlete`s foot.
SIDE EFFECTS AND WHO’S MOST AT RISK
Patchouli oil doesn’t often elicit irritation or an allergic response when applied to the skin. But you should still be careful when initially applying it in case a reaction occurs. Never apply undiluted patchouli essential oil to the skin.
Because patchouli oil can affect blood clotting, the following people should avoid using patchouli oil:
- those taking blood-thinning medication
- individuals who have recently had or will be undergoing major surgery
- those with bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia
