Product Description
Feel grounded and support mental wellness with Vetiver Essential Oil. Steam distilled from the roots of the Vetiveria zizanioides plant, Vetiver (also known as Ruh Khus, Khus, or Bunchgrass) provides a deep, smoky aroma that’s woody and earthy. It evokes the fresh scent of petrichor, a pleasing smell that fills the air after rainfall on cut grass or tilled soil.
Vetiver essential oil uses mental clarity and brain health. Diffusing this essential oil helps the mind release anxious thoughts, reduces distractibility, supports working memory, and enhances focus. It’s an excellent aroma for students, people working from home, or anyone who needs help concentrating.
Try diluting with a carrier oil to wear as a Vetiver perfume, cologne, or beard oil. The strong scent of this essential oil makes it a popular choice for men. It’s also great for adding calming fragrance to DIY candles, soaps, cleaning products, and more.
With anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, this oil may also help strengthen your immune system during cold and flu season or any time you’ve been exposed to a bug. Other Vetiver essential oil benefits include repelling insects, digestive relief, healing skin irritation, and promoting healthier hair and nails.

Vetiver Essential Oil FAQ
-
What does Vetiver essential oil smell like?
Vetiver has a rich, earthy aroma that is distinctly dry and woody. For some, the scent of Vetiver is reminiscent of freshly cut grass after a warm spring rain. When warmed between the hands or worn as a Vetiver perfume, it may also offer citrusy notes and a pleasant hint of clean soap.

What does Vetiver do to the brain?
According to a 2016 study, smelling Vetiver improved cognitive function and mental alertness. It may also help lift brain fog, improve memory, and enhance focus and concentration. If you or someone in your family struggles with symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, try diffusing Vetiver essential oil to turn the volume down on loud, distracting thoughts.
