Vetiver Essential Oil (Vetiveria zizanoides)
Vetiver Essential Oil has a heavy, earthy fragrance similar to Patchouli with a
touch of lemon. Vetiver oil is psychologically grounding, calming, and
stabilizing. One of the oils that is highest in sesquiterpenes, Vetiver was
studied by Dr. Terry Friedmann for improving children's behavior. Vetiver may
help us cope with stress and recover from emotional trauma and shock.* Most essential oils work best when blended
with each other. The right combination will enhance the effects and power of the
essential oils. For some basic "oil recipes", check out our Recipe page or visit

Knee Injury Recovery "I had torn my Bursa Sac in the knee
and was not able to walk on it. I went to the Chiropractor who had informed me
of what I did and told me to Ice it for the next month and to stay off of it for
the next month. I went to a Health Kinesiologist and found out that I needed
Vetiver, which I used and in 3 days no more pain and I was able to walk like
nothing had ever happened!"

this. I applied on the sore bone areas as well as connecting tissues, NEAT and I
felt relief within 5 minutes!"
