Application
Vetiver essential oil is a high-quality product with therapeutic properties, obtained through steam distillation. It is used in cosmetics (added to creams, lotions, and masks), aromatherapy, massages, and natural medicine. It is one of the rarer and more valuable essential oils.
It is widely utilized in perfumery due to its fixative properties and its beautiful, sweet, woody, and earthy aroma. It blends well with other essential oils such as black pepper, lavender, or neroli.
Thanks to its warming and pain-relieving properties, it is an excellent remedy for chest rubs and muscle massage.
Extensive studies have shown that vetiver essential oil is highly effective in therapies for children with autism or ADHD, helping them to calm down and focus.
Vetiver essential oil is safe – it is non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing.
