This brilliant combo of vibrant lime with two 'tranquilizing' oils - lavender (of course!) and Vetiver is a good oil to see you through a vigorous yoga flow or a busy day.  Its mostly cooling, and calming, but also a little upifing.  Great on warm days or when your space is toasty warm on a cold day outside.
 
Lime is refreshing and stimulating, bringing vibrance to the solar plexus (Manipura) chakra, the centre or store-house of our personal power, self-confidence, and motivation. More lime and less of the other oils will make this blend warmer and help balance the somewhat sedate energy of kapha.
 
Vetiver (or 'khusa' in sanskrit) belongs to the grass family, and is cultivated for various purposes. Its unique root system grows downwards, making it perfect for preventing erosion and stabilizing soil, unlike other grasses. It was also traditionally used for weaving mats on which to practise yoga and meditation - its unique aroma is said to keep creepy crawlies away so the yogi can do his or her thing undisturbed. That doesn't mean humans don't like the smell though!
 
Vetiver essential oil has a sophisticated, exotic fragrance and is widely used in perfumes. As it has a calming and grounding aroma, it is well-suited for use in massage therapy. Rub it into the soles of your feet before bedtime to help induce a peaceful sleep.
 
According to Ayurveda, Vetiver oil is pitta pacifying, meaning it helps balance the Pitta dosha, which presents as heat and inflammation in the body. Due to its cooling effect on the body, Vetiver oil is often recommended in Ayurveda for conditions such as fever, hot flashes, and inflammation. It is also used in Ayurvedic skincare to soothe and cool the skin.
