Vetiver
Certified Organic Essential Oil, 5 ml
Botanical Name: Vetiveria zizanioides
Origin: India
Part of Plant: Roots
Extraction: Steam Distillation
Description & Scent Profile:
Steam-distilled from the dense, fragrant rootlets of wild Indian Vetiver grass, this rich, viscous essential oil is renowned as the ultimate grounding botanical. Featuring a deep, smoky, woody-earth aroma with rich balsamic undertones, Vetiver is often called the "Oil of Tranquility." Possessing a heavy, fixative quality, it anchors top-heavy citrus and floral notes in natural perfumery while providing a deeply soothing, centring experience that quiets mental chatter, restores balance after exhausting days, and prepares body and mind for deep, restorative rest.
Key Botanical, Cosmetic & Mindful Benefits:
Restorative & Centring Aromatherapy: Eases intense mental overactivity, soothing the feeling of emotional burnout and restoring inner calm during stressful seasons.
Soothes Tired Muscles & Physical Tension: Excellent diluted in a massage base to warm tight muscles, ease physical stiffness, and comfort the body after exertion.
Deeply Comforting Bedtime Ritual: Wraps the senses in a quiet, earthing atmosphere that quietens restlessness and encourages a peaceful night’s sleep.
Nourishing & Refining Skin Care: Helps balance surface oiliness, conditions dry skin patches, and smooths the appearance of tired, mature complexions.
Best Ways to Experience:
Grounding Post-Work Bath: Pre-mix 2–3 drops of Vetiver with 3 drops of Sweet Orange and 1 cup of Epsom salts. Stir into a warm bath for a deeply relaxing, rejuvenating soak that melts away daily fatigue.
Restorative Body & Muscle Massage: Dilute 2–3 drops into 15 ml of Jojoba or Sweet Almond oil. Warm between palms and gently massage over the shoulders, lower back, and feet to ground your energy and ease physical tightness.
Soothing Warm Compress: Add 2 drops to a bowl of warm water, soak a small washcloth, wring out excess water, and place over the back of the neck or shoulders for 10 minutes of deeply comforting warmth.
Aromatherapist's Tip: Pure, high-quality Vetiver is naturally thick and viscous. If you have trouble dispensing drops from the bottle, warm it gently in the palm of your hand for a minute to loosen the oil. You can also request a complimentary pipette in the comments section of your order!
