Description

Vetiver Oil: The Soothing Grass Oil

Also known as khus oil, it is a lesser-known plant oil that offers a heavy, earthy fragrance, which is reminiscent of patchouli but with a touch of lemon. It is believed to be very grounding, calming and stabilizing, and provides a range of essential oil uses and benefits.

For thousands of years, Vetiver oil has been used in traditional medicine in South Asia, Southeast Asia and West Africa. It’s native to India, and both its leaves and roots have wonderful uses. Vetiver is known as a sacred herb valued because of its uplifting, soothing, healing and protective properties. It’s a natural body cooler — making it extremely popular in tropical countries. In fact, in India and Sri Lanka, it’s known as the “oil of tranquility.”

Recent research credits vetiver oil for treating symptoms of ADHD and ADD. It’s also known to increase libido and treat insomnia without drugs.

Country of origin: Sri Lanka

Method of Extraction: Steam distilled.
