Vetiver: Natures Chill Pill
Vetiver essential oil is actually created from the ROOT of the plant itself. These roots are distilled to produce a thick, amber-colored essential oil with an earthy, smoky, woody scent. But, It’s medicinal properties are what make vetiver special; it relieves irritability, physical exhaustion, and has a profound grounding effect when inhaled. Historically, it’s been used in medical settings to relieve hysteria, distress, or extreme anger in both children and adults.
This scent was crafted in collaboration with local farmers, resulting in a truly amazing aroma that transports you to the herbal origin.

Ingredients
WAX:
We purchase RAW materials and create a "proprietary" formula: it's nearly 100% soy wax, with a just touch of beeswax to elongate the burn time and give it a smooth-looking finish. Before burning any candle, make sure the ingredients work with your body.
OIL/RESIN:
The reason we include essential oil is because it’s a plant's vital "essence” where energy is stored but also the most highly concentrated nutritional and therapeutic benefits reside. This contains chemical messengers that transmit information throughout the body like a normal medicine or prescription would do. We like to call them:Plant Friends with Benefits.

it's about the ingredients.
In 2010, I was diagnosed with late stage neurological Lyme disease and was unable to leave the house. One thing that always made me feel better was lighting candles. But upon researching the candle ingredients, I realized that I was burning petroleum, coal, & unknown fragrances..I decided to make my own with healthy ingredients.
