Vetiver Essential oil (Vetiveria zizanoides)

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides): the oil of restfulness.  its a pretty thick oil so we add a slightly wider dropper to the bottle. You also can try warming the bottle and carrier in a little hot water. Some therapists find that vetiver is more effective than lavender for dealing with anxiety and sleeplessness. Vetiver carries less emotional charge so it can be better for hospital use for example with families experiencing cancer. It makes an ideal base note to a blend. It has a strong earthy and complex smelling aroma. You need a whiff of coffee to clear the nose if you are blending so leave it to last as it is described as woody, smokey, earthy, herbaceous and spicy all in one oil. So a little goes a long way!
