Vetiver Water – “The Water of Tranquility”

Vetiver Water, also known as Kus-Khus Water, is derived from the roots of Vetiveria zizanioides, a perennial grass native to Southern India, the Himalayan foothills, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. The plant, belonging to the Gramineae family, grows up to 2 meters in height with aromatic roots that penetrate 20–30 cm deep in marginal soils1.

Physical and Chemical Properties

  • Appearance: Yellow to brown liquid

  • Optical Rotation: 30°

  • Acidity: 10–70 mg KOH/g

  • Density: 0.985–1.025

  • Refractive Index: 1.520–1.530

  • Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol

Extraction Process

Vetiver water is produced by distilling semi-fresh and dried roots of the vetiver plant. Hydrodistillation is the traditional method, but modified techniques using magnetic stirring can improve yield and the diversity of extracted compounds14.

Applications and Benefits

  • Anti-Inflammatory: Vetiver water is renowned for its calming and cooling effects, effectively soothing various types of inflammation, including those caused by sunstroke and dehydration. It also helps reduce inflammation in the circulatory and nervous systems1.

  • Antiseptic: Thanks to its content of epizizanal and related compounds, vetiver water inhibits the growth of microbes such as Staphylococcus aureus, making it useful for preventing septic conditions in hot and humid environments1.

  • Sedative: Widely used in aromatherapy, vetiver water helps relieve stress, anxiety, headaches, neuralgia, muscle pain, and insomnia. Its rubefacient properties also make it beneficial for easing pain from arthritis and rheumatism1.

  • Refrigerant: As a natural cooling agent, vetiver water helps lower body temperature and provides relief during fevers caused by heat exposure1.

  • Fixative: Its unique chemical profile and high solubility in alcohol make vetiver water an excellent natural fixative for the perfumery industry, enhancing the longevity and depth of fragrance blends1.

  • Flavoring Agent: Vetiver water is used to flavor refreshing drinks and culinary dishes, adding a distinctive aromatic note1.
