Adding a few drops to a hot bath can not only help you combat headaches effectively, but treat muscular and joint pains too.
To use as massage oil, add 5 drops to 10ml of a carrier oil such as wheat germ oil. A lavender bath or compress are also effective for aching muscles.
You may rub this essential oil onto aching areas directly or mix it with another oil.
Combined with jojoba or sweet almond oils, patchouli essential oil can be massaged directly to the skin. You may also add several drops to your warm bath to ease your aching muscles and joints.
