Vetiver

Description 

Vetiver essential oil is steam distilled from the root of the Vetiver plant. Aromatically, Vetiver has a sweet, woody, caramel, smokey scent.
"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 effect on the emotions, it is an ideal oil to use in massage therapy. It can also be rubbed on the feet before bedtime to promote a restful night’s sleep. When taken internally, Vetiver can support a healthy immune system.*"

Sourcing Information 

One of the main reasons I chose dōTERRA is because of where and how they source their essential oils. dōTERRA believes that plants produce the best chemical properties when they are grown and harvested in their native habitat. ​
dōTERRA sources Vetiver from Haiti. Each batch of essential oils goes through the following battery of tests to ensure that they are pure, potent, effective oils worthy of the dōTERRA name:
