Vetiver EO

Vetiver essential oil, also called khus oil, is extracted from the vetiver plant, a clumpy, green grass native to India that can grow five feet high or more.  Vetiver is in the same family as other grasses used for their essential oils, including lemongrass and citronella.

Vetiver oil is quite fragrant, with a distinctive sharp and earthy scent you may recognize from men's cologne.  

Vetiver essential oil is distilled from the vetiver plant's roots, which are aged before being soaked in water.  The highly concentrated oil that is released is then skimmed off the top of the water.  It's used in holistic practice for its soothing, grounding capabilities.
