The world of essential oils is vast and enchanting, but few can rival the earthy, grounding allure of khus oil. Derived from the fragrant roots of the vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides), this ancient elixir has been cherished for centuries in Ayurvedic traditions and perfumery. At Aroma Monk, we bring you pure, steam-distilled khus oil that captures the essence of nature’s deepest serenity. Whether you’re exploring aromatherapy benefits, seeking natural skincare solutions, or crafting signature scents, khus oil (also known as vetiver oil) deserves a prime spot in your wellness routine.

What Makes Khus Oil So Special?

Khus oil stands out among natural essential oils due to its rich, woody aroma with subtle smoky undertones. The oil is extracted through steam distillation of the plant’s dried roots, a process that preserves its potent therapeutic properties. Unlike lighter citrus oils, khus oil offers a deep, anchoring fragrance that lingers beautifully—making it a favorite in high-end perfumes and incense blends.

At Aroma Monk, our khus oil is 100% pure, free from synthetic additives, and sourced sustainably from India’s finest vetiver fields. This commitment to quality ensures every drop delivers authentic Ayurvedic benefits and aromatherapy uses.

The Ancient Roots of Vetiver Essential Oil

Known as the “oil of tranquility” in Ayurveda, khus oil has cooled bodies and calmed minds for over 2,000 years. Ancient texts describe vetiver roots woven into mats that released cooling vapors during scorching summers—earning it the nickname “cooling oil.” Today, modern science validates these traditional uses, revealing khus oil’s impressive antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory effects.

Top 10 Benefits of Khus Oil for Mind, Body & Skin

1. Stress Relief & Emotional Balance

Diffuse khus oil in your essential oil diffuser to create a grounding atmosphere. Its earthy scent activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol levels and promoting deep relaxation.

2. Natural Sleep Aid

Struggling with insomnia? Add 2–3 drops of Aroma Monk khus oil to your pillow or a warm bath. The oil’s sedative qualities make it a powerful sleep essential oil.

3. Skin Rejuvenation & Acne Control

Khus oil’s antiseptic properties and cicatrizant effects help fade scars, even skin tone, and combat acne-causing bacteria. Mix with jojoba carrier oil for a luxurious face serum.

4. Hair Growth & Scalp Health

Massage diluted vetiver oil into the scalp to stimulate circulation, reduce dandruff, and strengthen hair follicles. It’s a staple in Ayurvedic hair oils.

5. Natural Insect Repellent

Forget chemical-laden sprays. Khus oil naturally repels mosquitoes and ticks while leaving a pleasant woody trail.

6. Joint Pain & Muscle Relief
