Geranium Essential Oil


Geranium has a sweet, heavy aroma, like rose with a hint of mint.  The scent is very appealing to both men and women.

Psychological applications for Geranium include anxiety, depression, and lack of self-confidence. In addition, Geranium helps the stress that may cause lack of appetite. 
Geranium is a formidable insect repellant.  Its essence is the only one able to protect against a variety of insects that attack the ankles in the afternoon.  If you are allergic to insect bites the essence of Geranium possesses the rare property of being cortisone-like and quickly neutralizes the allergic reaction of the poisons.  Because of this property, it may also alleviate reactions such as allergic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis. 
As a hormonal and uterine tonic, Geranium helps women during delivery as well as during menopause.  The essence helps to decongest rapidly and deeply, can be quite effective in acute cases of acne.  It has also been successfully used for varicose veins and cellulite.

Geranium blends well with Lavender, Rosemary, and Sandalwood.
