About the product
Goldenrod, a perennial herbaceous plant of the Gramineae family. Vetiver is a wild plant commonly found in the tropical Indian Ocean, like Tahiti, Java and Haiti. Its roots emits a distinctive aroma and is cultivated for essential oils extraction. Mature roots provide stronger aromas, and therefore is more favoured for producing rich and pungent essential oils. Vetiver's scent is earthy with a hint of sandalwood; the aroma is rich and long-lasting, making it a good fixative for perfumers and essential oil blenders.
Vetiver essential oil is difficult to separate from water during the refining process, therefore producing low yield. It has a viscous texture and using just a small amount is enough. Because the essential oil is extracted from the roots, it is also nicknamed "fragrance of the soil”.
Vetiver essential oil is also known as the "oil of tranquility" in India because of its deep relaxing effect, which can help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression and deeper psychological distress, give a sense of stability and improve sleep.
The oil can be used to activate joints, promote circulation and support wellness and body's natural defences. It is sometimes used for cleansing the air and strengthen the aura. When going to environments with chaotic energy or unease, vetiver can be used before leaving and after returning home to reduce stress.
Vetiver essential oil can cleanse oily skin and acne. Because of its calm and gender neutral scent, it is favoured by both men and women.
