Organic Geranium Essential Oil 10 ml

Latin name: Pelargonium Graveolens. Plant part used: leaves, stems, and flowers. Origin: South Africa. Extraction method: steam distillation. The organic essential geranium oil is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the Pelargonium odoratissimum plant (apple geranium). It has a strong scent with a floral aroma and a hint of mint and apple. The main property of this oil is its balancing and uplifting effect. It is used to calm both body and mind and to relieve a variety of ailments. Essential geranium oil helps balance oily and dry skin and also balances the mind, reducing stress and anxiety. It is said to act on the adrenal cortex, which has a balancing effect on the hormonal system. Geranium oil is used to treat acne, prevention, burns, cuts, dermatitis, eczema, hemorrhoids, ringworm, ulcers, breast swelling, edema, poor circulation, sore throat, tonsillitis, premenstrual syndrome, menopausal complaints, stress, and neuralgia. Its strong scent repels mosquitoes. Add a few drops to shampoo to get rid of headaches. It was believed that these geraniums would keep spirits away (just as they did with mosquitoes!), and so they were planted as hedges around houses. The plants originally come from South Africa, Réunion, Madagascar, Egypt, and Morocco and were introduced to European countries in the 17th century. Although there are about 700 varieties of this plant, only 10 produce essential oil in usable quantities. The varieties planted in gardens usually produce too little oil to be used for extraction.
