Description
Vetiveria zizanioides / Chrysopogon zizanioides
Vetiver Essential Oil is steam distilled from the roots of the vetiver grass. It possesses a deep, earthy, woody aroma with smoky, sweet undertones. Just a drop or two of Vetiver Essential Oil can add profound grounding depth to any blend, making it one of the most centering and stabilizing essential oils in aromatherapy and a prized base note in perfumery.
Vetiver Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help ease anxiety, insomnia, nervous tension, and hyperactivity. It is valued for its cooling and circulation-stimulating properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to help relieve muscle aches, joint pain, and support mature or oily skin. Vetiver’s thick consistency and rich aroma improve with age, making it a valuable fixative in perfume blends.
Emotionally, Vetiver Essential Oil is deeply grounding and stabilizing, helping to ease anxiety, emotional overwhelm, scattered thoughts, and trauma, while promoting feelings of security, centeredness, and connection to the present moment during times of stress or disconnection.
