Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. For August this year, we will be focusing on a deep, woodsy oil known for its ability to calm and still our mind and focus our brain waves! Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in August! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use!

Vetiver is calming, grounding and stabilizing and can be a great tool to help us cope with stress, recover from emotional trauma, and handle frantic emotions. Vetiver is also wonderfully supportive of calming our brain waves from high frequency to lower frequency, making it a favorite for inviting in deep, restful sleep! This can be from a normal state down to a meditative or sleep frequency, or from a heightened frequency to one of focus. This is helpful when we want to support clarity, focus and needs like ADD and ADHD.

When used topically, vetiver can be helpful to support the body’s response to inflammatory conditions. Because of this and its ability to support healthy circulation, vetiver has historically been used in topical arthritis preparations.
