Botanical Name: Vetiveria zizanioides Botanical Family: Poaceae (Gramineae)
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Roots and Rootlets (Washed and Dried)
· Aroma Note: Base (Excellent Fixative)
Vetiver is a tall, tufted perennial grass native to India, but its true magic lies beneath the surface. While its cousins, Lemongrass and Palmarosa, produce oil from their leaves, Vetiver oil is distilled from its massive, complex root system that can reach depths of 10 feet. The oil is a thick, dark amber liquid with an unmistakable aroma: deeply smoky, earthy, woody, and sweet, like the scent of damp soil after a heavy rain. Known in India as the "Oil of Tranquility," it is one of the most grounding essences in aromatherapy. Because the oil improves with age (much like a fine wine), its scent becomes deeper and more sophisticated over time.
Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Aphrodisiac, Cicatrisant, Nervine, Rubefacient, Sedative, Tonic (nervous and circulatory), Vulnerary.
· Nervous System: The "Natural Anchor." Vetiver is the first choice for "burnout." It is a profound sedative that helps with physical and mental exhaustion, chronic anxiety, and "spacey" feelings.
· Focus & ADHD: Recent studies and anecdotal evidence suggest Vetiver is highly effective for improving concentration and focus, making it a favorite for those with ADHD or those struggling to stay on task.
· Skin Care: It is a wonderful cicatrisant, meaning it helps heal scars and wounds. It is specifically beneficial for oily or aging skin, helping to strengthen connective tissue and tone the complexion.
· Circulatory: As a rubefacient, it stimulates blood flow. It is used in massage blends to ease the pain of arthritis, rheumatism, and muscular stiffness by "warming" the area from the inside out.
· Sleep: One of the most effective oils for insomnia, especially when the lack of sleep is due to an overactive mind that won't stop "spinning."
Vetiver is the "Oil of Grounding." It is for those who live too much in their heads—the dreamers who struggle to manifest their ideas or those who feel disconnected from their physical bodies. It pulls the energy downward, providing a sense of unshakeable stability. Vetiver helps to close the gap between the spiritual and the material, allowing you to feel "rooted" and protected, regardless of the chaos around you.
1. The "Deep Roots" Bath: Mix 2 drops of Vetiver and 3 drops of Lavender with a tablespoon of carrier oil. Add to a warm bath at night to completely "reset" your nervous system.
2. Focus Pulse-Point Oil: Mix 1 drop of Vetiver into 10ml of carrier oil in a roller bottle. Apply to wrists when you need to stay grounded and focused during a long work day.
3. The "Fixative" Trick: Add 1 drop of Vetiver to any citrus blend (like Orange or Grapefruit) to keep the light, volatile citrus scent from evaporating too quickly.
The "Quiet Mind" Blend To stop mental chatter and encourage deep relaxation
· 2 drops Vetiver
· 4 drops Sandalwood
· 2 drops Sweet Orange
Bergamot, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Geranium, Ginger, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Patchouli, Rose, Sandalwood, and Ylang Ylang.
Generally non-toxic, non-irritant, and non-sensitizing. It is a very safe and gentle oil. Due to its thick, viscous nature, it may be hard to get out of the dropper; simply warm the bottle in your hands for a few minutes to make it flow more easily.
Available sizes: 13ml
