Chrysopogon zizanioides, commonly known as vetiver is a perennial bunchgrass of the family Poaceae and which was used in Ayurveda since time immemorial. Vetiver is derived from a Tamil word that means “root that is dug up.” In Northern India it is also called Khus (grass).

Despite being one of the underrated herbs, vetiver has numerous benefits for the skin and can be used as a natural coolant and cleanser. In fact, it is a good skincare product but minus the negative effects of chemicals.

Vetiver grows on riverbanks up to an altitude of 600m. It requires a hot and humid climate. It is adaptable to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. It can be established on very acid, sodic, alkaline, or saline soils. Vetiver tolerates very high levels of aluminum, manganese, and a range of heavy metals in the soil. Due to its extensive and deep root system, vetiver is very tolerant of drought.
