Vetiver OilVetiver Roots
Vetiver oil..... Vetiver is native to India and is a fragrant grass closely related to lemon grass, citronella, and palmarosa. The flowers are brownish-purple. Woven into heavy blinds and screens, the wiry, fibrous roots darken the windows of homes in the burning noon of summer. Constantly doused with water, the cool, sweet scent of their vapor turns scorching winds that dehydrate into moist and balmy breezes. Because its fragrance repels insects, women from India and Java cherish vetiver fans. Sanskrit texts refer to its use as an unguent for anointing brides. In India, a muslin sachet of Vetiver roots is placed in the earthen pot that holds the household drinking water to keep it cool. This gives the water a distinct flavor and smell.
