(Vetiveria zizanioides) Supports healthy skin, promotes restful sleep, soothes stress and minor muscle and joint discomfort.
Is your Vetiver Thick? The viscosity (consistency) of some oils are just naturally thicker while some are thinner. For example, citrus oils are very thin, but root oils are thicker. From a chemistry perspective, the lighter/smaller molecules (such as those that make up citrus oils) are thinner, and heavier/larger molecules (such as those that make up root oils) are thicker.
Warm Water Bath First, place the oil bottle into a bowl (a glass baby food jar is perfect) and set in a pan of warm water (or double boiler) with enough warm water to affect the temperature of the oil. Avoid any possibility of allowing the water to get into the bottle. (I put my bottle in a ziplock bag and make sure it is standing upright.) Allow it to warm for about 15-20 minutes, replacing the water as needed if it evaporates. Continue warming until you get the oil at the right consistency to work with. Different oils take varying amounts of time to liquify, and this somewhat depends also on how solid they are and their ability to soften. You may also want to use a pipette to help dispense.
