Purely Essential Vetiver (Andropogon muricatus syn. Vetiveria zizanoides) is a grass that has a very pleasant, mild, earthy, and musky smell which has a cooling effect on the body and the mind. The health benefits of vetiver essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, cicatrizant, nervine, sedative, tonic and vulnerary substance.
Due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, Vetiver essential oil has long been used for skin health and to treat minor skin conditions such as acne and eczema. It is known to help speed up the disappearance of scars and other marks from the skin, and promote the growth of new tissues in the affected places. In addition it can help to reduce the dryness and cracking of the skin.
Moreover, Vetiver essential oil has shown in studies to reduce inflammation and benefit those with rheumatism, arthritis, gout, muscular aches and pains. Vetiver essential oil has also been reported to repel insects such as termites, ticks, ants, mosquitos, weevils, beetles and moths.
In aromatherapy, the essential oil of Vetiver is a well-known sedative. It alleviates stress, sedates nervous irritations, afflictions, convulsions, and emotional outbursts such as anger, anxiety, epileptic and hysteric attacks, restlessness, and nervousness. It even benefits patients that suffer from sleep disorders such as insomnia.
