Vetiver Essential Oil Wild Crafted

Deep, earthy, and profoundly grounding. Vetiver is called the Oil of Tranquility and the Fragrance of the Soil, and both names are exactly right.

Valley of the Moon's Vetiver is a wildcrafted essential oil hydrodistilled from the roots of Vetiveria zizanoides, sourced from Haiti. Viscous, dark brown, and richly aromatic, it carries the full, complex depth of the earth itself. In Ayurvedic practice, Vetiver was revered for its spiritually inspiring aroma and its ability to strengthen the nervous system, sedate the senses, and reduce the stress and physical exhaustion linked to low immunity. In folk magic traditions, it has long been used for protection and to attract abundance. Some say that simply smelling Vetiver straight from the bottle is enough to soothe and calm.
