Background


Vetiver is an incredibly fragrant bunchgrass native to tropical regions of the world that grows about 5 feet tall and has a strong, well-developed root system. The roots of the plant are traditionally used in tropical countries as air fresheners and as a food flavouring agent. Even to this day, curtains made from vetiver are hung in the doorways and windows for their alluring fragrance, especially during the summer season.
The essential oil produced from the roots of the plant is popularly used in aromatherapy and cosmetics because of its delightful scent and overwhelming therapeutic properties. In Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine systems, Vetiver oil has been used since centuries for soothing inflammatory conditions, aches, psychological stress, restlessness, and sleep disorders.

General Information


Ecodrop’s Vetiver essential oil is derived from the roots of Vetiveria zizanoides plants sourced from our organic plantations in Indonesia, certified organic by the UK Soil Association. Roots of vetiver grass are harvested, washed, and dried in the shade for 1-2 days, after which they are steam distilled to extract the oil.

BENEFITS AND USES

Uses

Skincare: Vetiver oil is a deeply hydrating moisturiser suited to all skin types. It controls sebum production and keeps the pores cleans, thus preventing acne and blackheads. The rejuvenating properties of the oil promote new cell growth and strengthen skin tissues against environmental stressors.

Haircare: Vetiver works wonders on dry and irritable scalp conditions. The compounds present in the oil clear the chemical buildup on the scalp that blocks the inflow of nutrients to hair follicles and causes hair loss over time. Long-term use of Vetiver oil is known to improve hair health by providing adequate hydration, while its stimulating nature promotes hair growth and keeps the scalp free from infection-causing microbes.

Aromatherapy: Warm, woody, earthy scent of Vetiver oil promotes a sense of tranquillity, lifts the mood, and encourages confidence. It is also known to boost immune function and increase libido.

Sleep aid: The grounding smell of Vetiver has a profoundly relaxing effect on the central nervous system that helps reduce psycho-emotional stress and promotes restful sleep.

Memory enhancer: Vetiver oil can improve memory in children and adults alike. Diffusing this oil in the room improves learning and cognitive abilities in children, while regular use is said to prevent age-related memory decline.

Directions

Diffusion: Add 4-5 drops to home diffusers in a well-ventilated room.
Meditation Blend: Mix 3 drops of vetiver with one drop each of Frankincense, Sandalwood, and Patchouli oils.

Beauty products: Add 1-2 drops to creams, lotions, shampoo, and conditioners.

Massage: Add 6-8 drops in 15 ml of carrier oil.

Bath: Add 2-3 drops to your bathwater.

Scar healer: Mix a tsp of coconut oil with 10 ml of rose water. Add 3-4 drops of Vetiver oil to this mixture. Apply on a damp face with the help of a cotton pad.

Like a little bottle of magic - I haven’t tried vetiver oil before so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but this seems like really beautiful quality concentrated oil. It’s actually unlike any oil I’ve used before, it’s like a little bottle of magic. I used some in carrier oil on my pulse points before bed and I felt almost immediate calming/soothing effects.I’ve used it for a few nights and have slept like a baby every night. I’m already a complete convert/addict and don’t want my nighttime routine to be without it! I’m so impressed with the vetiver I’ve ordered the lavender oil as well for a double whammy sleep combo!I’m also going to start using the vetiver during meditation, because it naturally seems to create such a meditative calm and I love the soothing woody scent. Really love it, thank you!

Fixes cold sores and herpes - I've suffered from occasional herpes outbreaks on my buttocks for years. I have it under control through Aciclovir, but this anti-viral oil really helps. If I dab some onto the inflammation (including cold sores) with a Q-tip, it kills it, it heals and disappears. During the winter months I inhale this essential oil and take turmeric milk to fight off infection. No Covid or 'flu in this household. Recommended.

amazing fragrance - This is the best fragrance that I have come across. A little goes a long way. Although it is expensive.
