Oil of Tranquility
My Vetiveria zizanoides essential oil is steam distilled from the root of the vetiver grass organically grown in Indonesia. It is of the highest therapeutic quality. 

The essential oil has a very strong balsamic and earthy scent that may take some getting used to. I personally love it, but that was not always the case.


Vetiver essential oil is know for strengthening, calming and balancing the nervous system while stimulating the circulatory system. It soothes irritability, anger and hysteria while boosting the immune system. 

The essential oil relieves stress and tension, promotes sleep, balances mood and grounds the user. Vetiver also controls infection and inhibits fungus growth.

When used properly, there are no known safety issues for vetiver essential oil.


In 2001 Dr. Terry Friedman studied the effect of essential oils on students who had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He used an EEG to measure brainwaves of the participants.
The study showed an improvement in performance in 100% of the students who were given vetiver essential oil during the study. These students had improved brain activity and a reduction in ADD or ADHD symptoms. 
Parents of the students claimed an improvement in at home behavior, and teachers noted an improvement in school performance.

Because of its balancing and calming properties, Vetiver is one of the five essential oils that I use in my PEACE synergy.

Thanks to Dr. Friedman's study, and my access to the highest therapeutic quality vetiver essential oil, I am now offering a Calm and Focus Kit to help alleviate the symptoms of ADD and ADHD.
