Geranium Egyptian- Pelargonium graveolens

Method of Extraction:

This organic oil is steam distilled from the whole plant. It is not easy to produce as the plant is susceptible to rust, making the organic oil very rare.

Description:

Delightful, fresh, green, rose-like scent. Clear to light green in colour.

Suggested uses:

Geranium is an excellent balancing and uplifting oil for all-round use and is especially popular with women. Try blending 1 drop of Geranium with 2 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Mandarin in a teaspoon of Sweet Almond oil for use as a relaxing, refreshing bath or massage oil. Alternatively, blend the same oils with two teaspoons of Peach Kernel oil for a special hydrating body moisturiser with a delicious aroma.
In a diffuser or burner, Geranium blends very well with the citrus oils. It is deodorising, cleansing and uplifting as well as having quite good insect-repellent properties.

After a long haul flight, try blending together 2 drops of Geranium, 1 Drop each of Juniper and Lavender in 10 ml of Peach Kernel; massage in to the ankles to encourage elimination of fluid.

Did you know?

Pelargonium graveolens is not to be confused with the household variety of geranium, which is a completely different species.
