Vetiver is distilled from the roots of a tall grass native to India, where it is known as “the oil of tranquility.” Its thick, smoky, earthy scent anchors blends and grounds the nervous system in a way few other oils can match. It is slow to diffuse but exceptional for sleep, anxiety, and deep meditation — often described as the most grounding oil in aromatherapy.
