Vetiver for Centering

Chrysopogon zizanioides

The card that I choose today for the Essential Oil Reflection is Vetiver. Vetiver for centering, it helps ground one to the earth!

Vetiver with its smoky, earthy aroma has antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, emmenagogue, immune stimulant, rubefacient and sedative properties.  It is helpful for debility, depression, insomnia, nervous tension, stress related disorders, and mental and physical exhaustion. It can be helpful in cases of shock.  

Vetiver’s antiseptic properties can be helpful for acne, cuts, oily skin, irritated wounds, infections & inflammation.  It can also help arthritis, muscle aches and pains, sprains & stiffness, rheumatism, connective tissue problems and it is a circulation stimulant.

Energetically, Vetiver grounds and attunes one to the earth.  It helps to clear and cleanse a room, and also brings in positive energy.  It can be used to protect the auric field.  It grounds and centers as well as protects against over-sensitivity.  It can promote strength and a deep sense of belonging.  It may aid in attaining wisdom and spiritual calmness.  It aids in developing positive self-esteem.  It aids those who feel like they are a psychic sponge or those who feel too sensitive to outside forces. 

Vetiver is considered to be a money scent.  It can be used to anoint cash before spending.
