Vetiver Essential Oil, #3651

When it’s time to unwind after a long day, try another Young Living original: Vetiver essential oil. Vetiver provides a sweet, woody aroma. This oil may be applied topically or diffused to help create warm, welcoming spaces. The uses of Vetiver oil are numerous.

1. From the earth

Vetiver roots can grow 7–10 feet long, and their deep, tangled webs help make the plant tolerant against drought and protect against soil erosion. This perennial grass is native to tropical regions in Asia. Vetiver is a fragrant grass with long stems and flowers, but Vetiver essential oil is derived from the root of the plant.

2. Into the bottle

Vetiver oil is steam distilled from the root of the vetiver plant. It produces a warm, woodsy scent that’s slightly sweet and earthy.

3. For men

The woody, earthy scent has been used for men’s fragrances for centuries. This popular scent adds a warm aroma to men’s colognes, aftershaves, and soaps.

4. Study scent

Vetiver is the perfect essential oil to diffuse when doing homework, studying for a test, or any difficult work tasks.  Vetiver’s essential oil fragrance creates a relaxing atmosphere where distractions lose their sway. Let Vetiver’s complex and uplifting aroma help calm your mind so you can focus on the tasks that require the utmost attention.

5. Thicker than Thieves

Vetiver oil is known for its thickness oil viscosity. Incredibly thick, it can sometimes be slow to flow from the bottle, so just know that there’s nothing wrong with your oil! Because Vetiver essential oil is so thick, we recommend adding it to a carrier oil before you put it in your diffuser.

6. In the tub

Relax from head to toe with a warm bath, aided by the calming aroma of 15–20 drops of Vetiver oil added to your evening soak. If you want to dim the lights and hit play on your favorite chill-out tunes, that’s between you and the Vetiver.

7. On your body

Combine a few drops of Vetiver essential oil with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex for use in a massage. You won’t regret putting them to use in an experience that can be deeply calming and moisturizing.

8. At home

Create a blend for your family that is warm and relaxing. Use 3 drops of Vetiver essential oil, 5 drops of Lavender, and 2 drops of Ylang Ylang in your diffuser to set the stage for nights of playing board games, reading, or just getting through homework and chores in a calmer atmosphere.
