The Profile

Geranium is a hairy perennial shrub native to South Africa, though the finest oil is often considered to come from Reunion Island (Bourbon Geranium). While the flowers are beautiful, the essential oil is contained within the green parts of the plant. Its aroma is heavy, sweet, and floral, reminiscent of Rose but with a distinct leafy-green undertone and a hint of mint. It is often called the "poor man's Rose" because it shares many of the same therapeutic properties at a more accessible price.

Therapeutic Actions

Antidepressant, Antiseptic, Astringent, Cicatrizant, Cytophylactic, Diuretic, Deodorant, Haemostatic, Styptic, Tonic, Vermifuge, Vulnerary.

Usage & Benefits

·         Skin: Suitable for all skin types because it balances sebum (skin oil). It is excellent for acne, bruises, broken capillaries, burns, dermatitis, eczema, and mature skin.

·         Respiratory: Not typically used for respiratory issues, though its antiseptic properties can help in a room spray.

·         Digestive: Occasionally used to help with jaundice and gallbladder issues due to its tonic effect on the liver and kidneys.

·         Circulatory/Muscular: Edema, poor circulation, and cellulite. It stimulates the lymphatic system, helping the body move stagnant fluid.

·         Genito-Urinary: Menopausal problems and PMS. It is a powerful hormonal balancer, particularly effective for the "mood swing" aspect of the cycle.

·         Nervous System: Nervous tension, neuralgia, and stress-related conditions. It is both sedative and uplifting, helping to restore emotional equilibrium.

Emotional Benefit

Geranium is the "Oil of Emotional Balance." It is the Great Harmonizer, helping to bridge the gap between the logical mind and the emotional heart. It is especially beneficial for those who are workaholics or have lost touch with their emotions, as it encourages self-expression, sensory intimacy, and a sense of trust in the world.

The "At Home" Remedies

1.       Hormonal Balance Bath: Mix 4 drops of Geranium and 2 drops of Clary Sage into a tablespoon of carrier oil or solubalizer. Add to a warm bath during your cycle to soothe irritability and physical discomfort.

2.      Glowing Complexion Additive: Add 1 drop to your daily moisturizer. Because it balances sebum, it will help hydrate dry patches while controlling oil in the T-zone.

3.       Natural Floral Deodorant: Mix 5 drops with 50ml of Witch Hazel in a spray bottle. Use as a refreshing, aluminum-free underarm spray that fights odor-causing bacteria.

Synergy Blend

The "Pure Equilibrium" Blend - Add to a diffuser to stabilize a chaotic environment and lift the spirits

·         4 drops Geranium

·         3 drops Lavender

·         3 drops Bergamot

Blending Partners

Safety Data, Warnings, & Precautions

Generally non-toxic, non-irritant, and non-sensitizing. However, because it has a significant effect on the hormonal system, it is best to avoid use during pregnancy. It may cause contact dermatitis in those with hypersensitive skin; always perform a patch test.
