VETIVER PURE ESSENTIAL OIL  

Vetiveria zizanoides

Vetiveria zizanoides is a type of bunching grass that’s grown mainly for its fibrous roots to prevent the eroding of soil. It is also grown to make a therapeutic pure essential oil.  The aromatic fibrous roots are steam distilled for an oil that is grounding, earthy, woody and exceptionally calming to the mind, the reason it’s known as the oil of tranquillity. It calms stressed minds and nerves to clear the head for fresher, focused thinking. Vetiver essential oil is superb in perfume, soaps, oil blends and air fresheners.  It is a pleasant massage oil that improves circulation.
