If you would like to learn about Vetiver Essential Oil uses along with food recipes you have come to the right place. I explain all about dōTERRA Vetiver and all the ways you can use it and how to use it. I think you’ll be pleased.

The roots of the vetiver plant are unique in their ability to grow downward, creating a thick tangle of roots in the ground. The root of the hearty vetiver plant is the origin of Vetiver essential oil, and produces a fragrance that is earthy and strong. This aroma has been used among many perfume industries and is a notable characteristic of Vetiver. Vetiver oil is composed of multiple sesquiterpenes, allowing Vetiver oil to have a grounding effect on emotions. This grounding effect makes Vetiver oil a commonly used essential oil in massage practices and topical and aromatic uses. Vetiver can also be taken internally to support a healthy immune system.

With a unique, exotic aroma, Vetiver is known to provide a calming, grounding effect on emotions – making it ideal for massage therapy and promoting restful sleep.

Vetiver essential oil is one of dōTERRA’s Therapeutic Wellness products that is listed with the Australian Government Department of Health Therapeutic Goods Administration as a Medicine Product.

I personally love the story of how Co-Impact Sourcing and dōTERRA Healing Hands have assisted Haiti.

• School can be taxing and sometimes stressful for children. After a difficult day at school, help your child relax by applying Vetiver oil to your child’s neck and feet. This will help promote calm and grounded feelings.
• Give your body a little TLC with a Vetiver bath. For best results, fill the bathtub with warm water and add a couple of drops of Vetiver to the water. These simple steps will provide you with an ideal bath that is perfect for deep relaxation. The aromatic benefits of Vetiver oil will also aid in creating a soothing and calming atmosphere.
• Traveling always comes with certain risks—environmental threats being one of them. To help prepare your body for traveling and a change in environment, take Vetiver internally. For best results, combine one to two drops of Vetiver oil with Lemon oil in a Veggie Caps capsule. This powerful combination of oils will help support a healthy immune system.
• Vetiver oil’s aroma is sweet, woody, and smoky–emitting a strong, earthy scent. Use the earthy tones of Vetiver as a base for your favorite DIY diffuser blends. Adding Vetiver to a diffuser blend will provide aromatic benefits that have a calming, grounding effect on emotions.
• Sleep is extremely important for the health of both the mind and body. When individuals do not receive adequate hours of sleep or have too many sleepless nights, body functions begin to slow down. To help promote a restful night’s sleep, rub Vetiver oil on the bottom of your feet. Vetiver oil is a great essential oil for sleep and relaxation and can help give your body the sleep it needs.
• Give your body a powerful boost by adding one to two drops of Vetiver to your tea or hot drinks during the winter months. Vetiver contains immune-supporting properties that will help fortify your body against seasonal threats.
• Because of Vetiver oil’s grounding effects, it is commonly used for massages. After a long day of standing, apply a few drops of Vetiver to your feet and slowly massage the oil in. A Vetiver oil massage is perfect after a long day, and the aromatic features of the oil can also provide a grounding and calming effect on emotions.
• For best use of Vetiver essential oil, here is a simple essential oil tip. Use a toothpick to help get the desired amount of essential oil out of the container if the Vetiver oil is too thick to get out of the bottle. Remember, a little bit goes a long way.

In abundance and with hope and blessings
