Vetiver

Vetiver is one of the first oils I fell in love with - right after my passionate affair with Balance and Serenity.  This unique oil comes from the roots of the vetiver plant - which in the ground tangle up into an awesome medusa-like structure that produces a strong earthy fragrance.  Some wear it for purfume, with it's very musky odor, and others drink it as part of a daily immune boosting regemin.  I like to diffuse it at night with serenity amplifying the possibility for sweet, blissful, restful sleep.

According to the scientists at doTERRA - and lots of anecdotal research on my own - I can tell you that vetiver aids in calming anxious feelings, aids the immune system when taken internally, relaxes after a long stressful day, and promotes deep sleep.  Vetiver blends well with Serenity, Lavender, Balance, Sandalwood, and Lemongrass - diffused and topically.

Vetiver was instrumental in helping one of my kiddos past his school jitters and anxiety, and also his testing.  With a blend of vetiver and wild orange, he was able to calm and focus on tests and in school in general.  In fact, he's gone from failing to a straigh A Student - and in honors classes.  With parental support and this oil combination, the sky has literally become the limit for this awesome boy (who's now taller than me and very grown up - but we won't discuss that.)
