Origin: a Latin derivative
meaning "Gift of the Earth."
Vetiver, a member of the grass family, is grown for many reasons. Unlike other grasses, the root system of Vetiver grows down, making it ideal for helping to prevent erosion and providing soil stabilization. Vetiver has a rich, exotic, complex aroma that is used extensively in perfumes. Due to Vetiver’s calming, grounding aroma, it is an ideal oil to use in massage therapy. It can also be rubbed on the feet before bedtime to promote a restful environment for sleeping.
