Vetiver Essential Oil
We’re now in the midst of Aries season, a time when we’re inspired to be on the go and move about in pursuit of our desires.
In wellness astrology, Aries governs the head, and therefore we may want to take special care of this part of our body in case celestial seasonal stress arises here.
One natural elixir that may be helpful is vetiver, an essential oil which I included in the Aries chapter of The Complete Guide to Astrological Self-Care.
Vetiver can inspire rejuvenation if you find yourself running a bit ragged. It can help quiet an overactive mind and counter mental and physical exhaustion. Plus, in Ayurvedic medicine, it’s used for treating headaches. Its woody and sweet aroma help dispel heat—something to which we seem to channel more during this month—from the body and mind; this may perhaps be one reason for its noted calming effect and ability to temper irritability.
Mix vetiver with a carrier oil like avocado or almond, and use as a body moisturizer or dab on your pulse points as a perfume. You can also use it in a diffusor to fragrance your room or car. Breathe in its pacifying and grounded scent, and move through Aries season with more poise and alignment.
