Product Description: Vetiveria zizanoides, also known as vetiver, is a perennial grass native to India. It is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions for its aromatic roots, which are used in perfumes, cosmetics, and traditional medicine. Vetiver grows up to 1.5 meters tall, with long, narrow leaves and tall stems that produce tightly packed spikes of flowers. The roots of the plant are thick, fibrous, and deeply anchored in the soil, making vetiver an excellent plant for erosion control on steep slopes and riverbanks. Vetiver is also known for its ability to tolerate drought and waterlogging, making it a valuable plant for soil conservation and remediation. The essential oil extracted from the roots of vetiver is used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and reduce stress.

Note: This oil can be very thick. If so, we would recommend placing the bottle in a very hot water bath, and changing the water frequently until it is back to its liquid state, then gently agitating it before use.

Cautions: Dilute before use; May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended prior to use. Contact with eyes should be avoided.

Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping), be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.

Caution: All of our products are for external use only.
