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
