Bourbon Vetiver essential oil is used in aromatherapy for its relaxing and sedative action as well as for the symptomatic relief of acne and boils.

Description:

IMPORTANT: THIS ESSENTIAL OIL IS NATURALLY THICK (High viscosity)

You shake the bottle, it flows very slowly or nothing comes out of the dropper and you think: Something is wrong with my oil!

Don't worry, this is normal (may vary from batch to batch) and is a sign of quality. So patience is necessary.

 HOW TO LIQUEFY A THICK ESSENTIAL OIL

- Warm the bottle in your hand. Sometimes heating the bottle will not help, so please tap the bottom of the bottle as this may help release the oil.

If this does not work:

- Place the bottle in a small ziploc bag and empty the air as much as possible (to protect the label and to keep the bag from floating), then put the bag in a larger container of hot (not boiling) water to gently warm it up for about 5-10 minutes. And voila, it comes out of the dropper!

- This procedure should be repeated each time before use as the oil will become thick again.

- Avoid using a microwave oven as the oil may overheat and spoil.

- Tips: You can remove the dropper and use a pipette to extract drops or a toothpick and needle to extract the desired amount from the bottle.
