Vetiver Essential Oil - Haiti (Vetiveria Zizanioides)

Vetiver Essential Oil from Haiti is considered the finer quality oil for fine fragrances and perfumery, as the consistency is not quite as thick as most Vetiver oil and the aroma is sweet and slightly milder. 

Vetiver Essential Oil originates in India and is now widely cultivated around the world. The Common Indian Name for Vetiver is Khus. Ancient South Indian documents show that Vetiver Essential has always been used in multiple ways, including perfumery and Ayurvedic treatments.

Today, Vetiver Essential Oil is used in most perfumes, and more often in men's colognes, as the scent tends to be more masculine. Vetiver Essential Oil is extracted from Vetiver roots, which must be at least 18 months old before they are harvested.

The roots are then steam distilled for nearly a day, leaving behind a thick, brown oil with a deep and intricate aroma.

Vetiver essential oil is one of the most biochemically complex oils, in that it contains at least 150 aromatic compounds. Since the chemical properties in Vetiver Essential Oil are a function of the soil it is grown in, each batch of Vetiver will have subtle and unique fragrance variations. 

Properties: Analgesic, Antibacterial, Antifungal, Anti-inflammatory, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Aphrodisiac, Cell Proliferant, Depurative, Emmenagogue, Sedative, Stimulant, Tonic, Vermifuge, Vulnerary 
Perfumery Note: Base 
Aroma: Sweet, Heavy, Earthy, and Woody 

Emotional Stability

Vetiver essential oil is well known as "The Oil of Tranquility". It's used to help ground and stabilize the emotions, relax hyperactive minds, and nurture an insecure self. 

Grounding and Calming

Vetiver can be used to de-stress, in situations of burnout, anxiety, or emotional instability, and as a way to achieve feelings of peace and calm in difficult situations.

Endocrine & Circulatory Support

Vetiver is also used to stimulate the endocrine glands and circulatory system, while helping lower rapid heart rate and returning the body to a calmer state. 

Increase Oxygen

Vetiver Essential Oil contains roughly 96% Sesquiterpenes. Sesquiterpene molecules deliver oxygen molecules to cells. 

Cellular Recoding

Sesquiterpene molecules also can erase or deprogram miswritten codes in cellular memory, allowing for much healthier cells.

Whole body tonic

Vetiver essential oil is believed to stimulate the immune system, to optimize metabolic function, and to act as a tonic for the liver, the stomach, and the intestines. Vetiver essential oil is used to help ground and stabilize the emotions. It is recommended by aromatherapists for relaxing a hyperactive mind and nurturing an insecure self.
