Vetiver

[Guest guest]

Hi Melanie

I love Vetiver - I have some growing in a pot in my yard. It's a grass from

the

Graminae family, same as lemongrass and palmarosa and citronella, but doesn't

have a

lemony smell. It's safe to use (in the right dilutions, of course), even in

pregnancy. It certainly is the oil of tranquility, also good for joints, and

with

lavender balances the chakras. A base oil. Try it with lavender or geranium,

and

with the citrus oils (particularly grapefruit) which lighten it up a bit. One

of

the nicest blends is with its family members, lemongrass and palmarosa (not

citronella on the skin). Who's got more?
