Because of these grounding, stress relieving properties Vetivir is most commonly used for:
- ADD
- ADHD
- Anger
- Anxiety
- Aphrodisiac
- Circulation
- Rejuvenating
- Stress reduction
Many adults and children who have had little success with Ritalin or other Hyperactivity disorder medications have found relief through using Vetiver essential oil.
To Apply:
Apply 3-4 drops of Vetiver to a child’s back or the bottom of their feet using a carrier oil immediately following a shower and prior to bed time. With experience combine Vetiver with a balancing, uplifting, or relaxing blend to enhance the help. The synergistic combination with a single oil such as Lavender, Ylang Ylang or Clary Sage will also be effective.
Application has also historically proven helpful through the olfactory system (inhalation). Prepare a tissue cup or inhaler to be used when anxiety or other symptoms of ADHD are felt.
Use Vetiver with a carrier oil for a sensual massage and to enjoy its aphrodisiacal properties.
Vetiver can be too strong of an odor for some people or they may have sensitivity to it on their skin. Always test a new oil on a small portion of skin before applying greater amounts of it topically.
