Vetiver

Vetiver essential oil (Chrysopogon Zizanioides), a symbol of spiritual and emotional strength, comes from a plant suitable for preventing soil erosion.
By analogy, it serves to feel rooted in a place, in the context of an activity or in a relationship.

According to the Italian Ministry of Health, it has digestive functions and regulates intestinal transit.
Beneficial on the mucous membranes of the respiratory system.

In Aromatherapy it improves blood and lymphatic circulation and stimulates the activity of the pancreas. It is suggested for compresses and local applications to give relief to rheumatism and muscle pain.

Vetiver is one of the most used raw materials in perfumery.
It is used as an ingredient in effective remedies for dry, irritated, aged skin and to tone the breasts.
