Plant Therapy Organic Vetiver Essential Oil
Vetiver Essential Oil is famous for its relaxing, balancing, and soothing properties. It can help calm ‘mind chatter’ and promote deep relaxation during sleep when diffused.* It also helps support the immune system and is useful in a blend for occasional skin blemishes.* Vetiver essential oil, also called khus oil, comes from the vetiver plant. This clumpy, green grass is native to India and grows up to five feet or higher. The grass itself offers a pleasant aroma (it is in the same family as lemongrass and citronella) but the essential oil is distilled from the vetiver plant’s roots. Organic Vetiver Essential Oil has been a staple for perfumeries for years. It’s loved because it offers such a pleasantly deep, earthy, woodsy, smoky aroma that is strong enough to stand out and add complexity a perfume.
