Vetiver oil grass has long, narrow aromatic leaves and straight stems. Grows in tufts and is very tall. Vetiver oil is steam distilled from the roots. The grass takes 18-24 months to grow. Vetiver has an earthy smell. You will see that it is thick and difficult to pour. This is what I would do: when you get your Vetiver oil, pop off the stopper and pour 1/3 of the oil out into two 10ml roller bottles. Add other oils to your Vetiver if you like then fill up each of the 10ml roller bottles up with Fractionated Coconut oil. Dilute the remaining 2/3 of your Vetiver bottle up with Fractionated Coconut Oil and replace the stopper. Shake the bottle up gently. That way, you will be able to pour your Vetiver oil and extend it too.

Vetiver helps relieve occasional muscles, spasms, sprains and strains, and can assist in relief of liver congestion. It can support wound repair and relieve dry skin and oily scalps. Vetiver oil is used as a mood lifter. It is helpful with sleep and has been proven effective with regulating and balancing appetite.

Vetiver has a high level of sesquiterpene as part of its chemical make up. “Sesquiterpene molecules deliver oxygen molecules to cells, like hemoglobin does in the blood. Sesquiterpenes can also erase or deprogram miswritten codes in cellular memory. Sesquiterpenes are thought to be especially effective in fighting cancer.”¹

Vetiver is used with other essential oils in blends to hold the fragrances for a long time because it is a base note. Vetiver really helps the citrus oil scents “burst” in blends. Here are information that I’ve picked up in my studies and research from books and experiences. Check out books I recommend.

MIND

Vetiver is the oil of Centering and Grounding. According to the Emotions & Essential Oils, the negative emotions Vetiver oil helps to shift are as follows: Apathetic, disconnected, scattered, stressed, ungrounded, avoiding, and crisis.

When we’ve allowed our mind to be wound up so much, we may see the world from a skewed perspective. A small issue may seem like a big issue to us. We may feel like something is an urgent crisis when it doesn’t have to be so. You see this in children throwing tantrums over seemingly minor things.

The positive properties we can incorporate are the following: Centered, grounded, present, emotionally aware and connected.

The root of the Vetiver plant looks like the brain electrical network. Nature gives us a clue to what it can do for us. Imagine the Vetiver cleaning out the pathways and assist the mind to make connections easily. This connection in the brain is important for learning and physical connection. It means helping the body feeling and being more sensitive again if it has been numb. It means less sensitive if it is overly sensitive.

SPIRIT

Vetiver helps those who are in their head too much to share that energy with the rest of the body. We don’t have to do everything all now. There is a time and season for all things. Our scattered brain will lead to feeling overwhelmed and less productivity even when you think you are doing a lot in your head. Work and decisions will be easier when you can be centered and grounded.

Vetiver helps us be still and self-aware. Understanding who you are and who you are not is liberating. You will be able to discover the deeper facets of yourself. It will help you discover your True Self so you can fulfill the purpose of your life and find your happiness.
