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. Vetiver essential oil is known to improve the mental conditions like stress, anxiety and depression. It is a therapeutic oil that works on the seven chakras of the human body. You can diffuse it in the air or apply few drops on your wrists, chest and neck.
