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.

FAQs About Plant Therapy Organic Vetiver Essential Oil
Q: Does vetiver help with sleep, or is it more for daytime relaxing? A: A lot of people use vetiver at night. People often diffuse it about 30 minutes before bed to help quiet a busy mind and make it easier to settle down.
Q: How do I use this in a diffuser? A: Use 1 to 2 drops per 100 mL of water. Vetiver is a thicker oil, so I'd start with 1 drop. A little goes a long way.
Q: Can I put this directly on my skin? A: No. Don't use vetiver undiluted. For topical use, I'd stay at a 1% dilution, even though the general range listed is 1 to 3%.
Q: Why does this one seem thicker than other essential oils? A: Because vetiver root oil naturally has a heavy, thick texture. You may need to be a little patient getting drops out of the bottle.
Q: I've heard vetiver is good for skin blemishes. How would I use it for that? A: Some people add a drop to their face wash for the occasional blemish. I'd still be careful if your skin is sensitive, since this is just organic Vetiveria zizanoides root oil, and essential oils can irritate some people.
Q: Is there anything else in here besides vetiver? A: No, it's a single-oil formula. This one uses certified organic Vetiveria zizanoides root oil, and nothing else is listed.
Q: Should I use this if I'm pregnant or around kids? A: I'd be careful. Keep it out of reach of kids. If you're pregnant or nursing, check with your OB or midwife before using it.
