Stress can literally kill, but more common than that, it can wreak havoc on the skin and face. How many times have you looked at a person and - based on their skin or eyes - thought they looked overwhelmed and stressed out?
That's because stress manifests itself through how we look on the outside. Patchouli oil has the ability to work from the inside out as it can calm your mind; its sedative properties promote relaxation. Adding a couple of drops to an oil burner or a diffuser will help you to alleviate the stress you are struggling with.

Due to the moisturizing elements within the oil, it makes for a great way to treat skin that needs some extra hydration and care. It is naturally antimicrobial and anti-fungal which means that it's great for skin infections.

Rub it on your skin thoroughly. Don't be concerned about using it on your face if you happen to suffer from oily skin. This type of oil will actually help calm it.
