Hello! Nollaig chridheil agus
You're fine with Patchouli. You might like to think of buying a spare bottle and laying it down like you would a good wine. It improves with age, and wont go off. I had a very old bottle many many years ago. I had not long qualified and had a sniff of my 'old bottle'. Decided because it smelt so strong that it must have 'gone off', so I binned it!!!!! Two weeks later (I had by now received my new stock) I learnt the above fact....and that there is a specific market for mature oils such as Patchouli, Frankincense, Sandalwood etc! Aaaaarrrrgh!!!

No.
No.
Yes.
I don't like going easy on anything, but if I must I suppose I will.
Lavender oil gives me a headache, I hate the smell. Codeine, however, rocks the house. I'll stick with that.

Hello, Nadolig Llawen!
I pour patchouli oil all over myself like there's no tomorrow - should I not be doing this? Eeeek.
Are you dead yet? Do you have unsightly sores all over your body?
Do you talk to potplants?
If not you should be okay but maybe go a little easy on it.
On a serious note lavender oil on the temples with a headache is far better than any pain medication.
other than codine that is. Codine is really nice.

Codeine = constipation (and potential addiction, among a large list of bad reactions).
Lavender Oil contains Estrogen like compounds which can cause breast enlargement in males when applied topically.
To be effective, things must have effects.

That is an urban myth sir.
Oh, and it's oestrogen not estrogen...which doesn't help the credibility of your link.

Yes codine is bad for you. But when your body is as broken as mine it is a bad thing worth doing.
So many broken bones and so much pain.
Codine is the only thing that gets me though the day even though it is killing me
