Vetiver

Vetiveria zizanoides

What it is

Vetiver is a deeply grounding essential oil distilled from the roots of the vetiver grass plant. Known for its rich, earthy, and woody aroma, vetiver has been traditionally used to calm the mind, support emotional balance, and promote relaxation.

Why we use it

At Thorn + Thera, vetiver is selected for its powerful grounding properties. Its deep, earthy scent helps anchor the nervous system, making it especially beneficial during moments of overstimulation, stress, or mental fatigue.
