Vetiver Essential Oil 100% Pure

Description

Vetiver essential oil is a grounding and soul-centering essence distilled from the roots of the resilient vetiver grass. With its rich, smoky aroma and unparalleled calming effects, Vetiver is often used to promote restful sleep, emotional balance, and skin repair. This base note oil has been revered for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional wellness practices as a stabilizer for both body and mind.

Benefits & Uses

• Promotes deep relaxation and helps manage stress or anxiety

• Supports restful sleep and soothes an overactive mind

• Assists in emotional grounding during trauma or grief

• Nourishes dry or aging skin and may reduce the appearance of scars

• Used in perfumes as a fixative and natural aphrodisiac

• May aid focus and concentration, especially for overthinkers

Active Components & How They Work

Vetiver contains unique sesquiterpenes like khusimol, vetiverol, and vetivone:

• Khusimol provides grounding and anti-inflammatory effects

• Vetiverol has skin-repairing and calming actions

• Vetivone contributes to the oil’s sedative, regenerative, and emotionally balancing nature

These constituents work synergistically to regulate the nervous system, support skin integrity, and provide emotional depth in aromatherapy applications.

Energetic, Spiritual & Symbolic Properties

• Chakra: Root (stability, connection to Earth)

• Color Correspondence: Deep brown and black (protection, grounding, ancestral wisdom)

• Planetary Influence: Saturn (structure, stillness, endurance)

• Traditional Uses: Used in Indian and Sri Lankan traditions for protection, purification, and emotional endurance—Vetiver is believed to calm fiery tempers and steady erratic energy.

Vetiver is ideal for those feeling scattered, emotionally overwhelmed, or in need of grounding after trauma, travel, or intense emotional experiences.
