1. From the earth<\/span><\/h3>\n

The vetiver plant is a perennial grass native to tropical regions in Asia. Vetiver is a fragrant grass with long stems and flowers, but Vetiver essential oil is derived from the root of the plant. Vetiver roots can grow 7\u201310 feet long, and their deep, tangled webs help make the plant tolerant against drought and protect against soil erosion.<\/p>\n

\"Vetiver<\/a>2. Into the bottle<\/span><\/h3>\n

Vetiver oil<\/a> is steam distilled from the root of the vetiver plant. It produces a warm, woodsy scent that\u2019s slightly sweet and earthy.<\/p>\n

3. For men<\/span><\/h3>\n

The woody, earthy scent has been used for its fragrance for centuries, and a popular use of Vetiver is adding a warm aroma to men\u2019s soaps and colognes. You can create a personalized scent by adding Vetiver essential oil as a base note for a masculine DIY perfume.<\/p>\n

4. Study scent<\/span><\/h3>\n

Let Vetiver\u2019s complex and uplifting aroma help calm your mind so you can focus on the tasks that require the utmost attention. Perfect for study, difficult work tasks, or even curling up with a long novel, Vetiver<\/a> essential oil\u2019s fragrance creates a relaxing atmosphere where distractions lose their sway.<\/p>\n

5. Thicker than Thieves\u00ae<\/span><\/h3>\n

Vetiver oil is known for its viscosity. Incredibly thick, it can sometimes be slow to flow from the bottle, but patience is a virtue, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with your oil! Because Vetiver essential oil is so thick, we recommend adding it to a carrier oil before you put it in your diffuser.<\/p>\n

7. On your body<\/span><\/h3>\n

Combine a few drops of Vetiver essential oil with V-6\u2122 Vegetable Oil Complex<\/a> for use in massage. All those unused \u201cfree foot rub\u201d coupons that your significant other gave you last Valentine\u2019s Day? You won\u2019t regret putting them to use in an experience that can be deeply calming and moisturizing.<\/p>\n

8. At home<\/span><\/h3>\n

Create a blend for your family that is warm and relaxing. Use 3 drops of Vetiver essential oil<\/a>, 5 drops of Lavender<\/a>, and 2 drops of Ylang Ylang<\/a> in your diffuser to set the stage for nights in playing board games, reading, or just getting through homework and chores in a calmer atmosphere.<\/p>\n
