Description
Vetiver, a member of the grass family, is grown for many reasons. Unlike other grasses, the
root system of Vetiver grows down, making it ideal for helping to prevent erosion and
providing soil stabilisation. Vetiver has a rich, exotic, complex aroma that is used extensively
in perfumes. Due to Vetiver’s calming, grounding effect on the emotions, it is an ideal oil to
use in massage therapy. It can also be rubbed on the feet before bedtime to promote a sense
of relaxation and can be used to flavour food and drinks.
Uses
- Add 1–2 drops to tea or hot drinks during Winter time.
- Use as a massage oil to calm emotions.
- Take a warm bath with a few drops of Vetiver essential oil for deep relaxation.
- Diffuse with Lavender, doTERRA Lavender Peace®, or doTERRA Balance® to provide a sense of balance while calming the emotions.
- Use a toothpick to help get the desired amount out of container if Vetiver is too thick to get out of the bottle. A little goes a long way.
