Geranium is an excellent balancing and uplifting oil with a delightful, fresh, green, rose-like scent. It is a great essential oil for all-round use and is especially popular with women. It is deodorising, cleansing and uplifting as well as having quite good insect-repellent properties. Method of Extraction: Steam distillation from the leaves.Did you know?Pelargonium graveolens is not to be confused with the household variety of geranium, which is a completely different species. Directions: 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. 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. 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. Caution:To be avoided during pregnancy.
