Vetiver Essential Oil

Relaxing, soothing and grounding. In India vetiver is known as the 'Oil of Tranquillity' due to its relaxing,calming properties on the mind, but it is also strengthening, nurturing and revitalizing to the body. It strengthens connective tissue, restores balance to hormonal and emotional conditions, and regenerates both mind and body.

It has a unique earthy fragrance which has a grounding and centering effect on the mind which helps pacify anger and irritability. It is also good for emotional burnout.

More Information

Vetiver belongs to the same botanical family as lemongrass, citronella and palmarosa, and has been appreciated for its wide diversity of useful applications since records began. In some countries, such as India, its role as a perfume may even precede that of the ubiquitous rose.

It is a great oil to use in skincare, but use it judiciously since the aroma is quite strong. To create a softer fragrance use equal proportions of sandalwood essential oil with it to create a softer, warmer base note with a highly beneficial, moisturising action.

Did you know?

Only by using essential oils of the very highest quality and purity can you be sure to achieve text-book results.

Although cheaper essential oils may appear to save you money in the short term, eventually they work out to be far more costly.

This is because you will have to use much larger quantities of them in an attempt to get results. Unless they are pure, unadulterated and therapeutically active they will never deliver the results that you have read about in books.

So rather than making a small saving, you will have wasted all of your cash on the purchase. More...

The price you see, is the price you pay!

Testimonials

Prior to Quinessence I was constantly looking for new suppliers, since inevitably they failed to live up to expectation.

As a qualified aromatherapist I really need a fast, reliable service, and being able to buy my products from a company that is run by aromatherapists really makes a difference.
