Description

Ancient Origin: Although the herb from which this oil is extracted is a native of South Africa, an ancient British herb called Robert (Geranium robertianum) was the original source. Hence Geranium dates back to the earliest British herbal folk traditions. The plant has been described as being under the influence of Venus, though it is of a less feminine character than Rose. It is important however not to confuse it with the familiar brightly coloured suburban variety whose proper name is actually perlargoniums of which there are over 700 varieties. The one used for essential oil is a perennial hairy shrub with pointed leaves, serrated edges and small pink flowers. The whole plant is aromatic and the oil is extracted by steam-distillation. This oil is a joy to use, it mixes in delightful ways with other oils often creating almost a spiritual back drop.

Source: Originally a native of South Africa it is now cultivated in Russia, Egypt, Congo, Japan, Central America and Europe. There are three main regions for essential oil production which are Egypt, Russia and Reunion (Bourbon)

Skin Care: A good oil for many skin problems including acne, bruises, broken capillaries, burns, congested skin, cuts, dermatitis, eczema, haemorrhoids, lice, mature skin, oily complexion, ulcers and wounds. It works especially well as a massage cream.

Circulation muscles and joints: Good for cellulitis, engorgement of breasts, edema and poor circulation.

Respiratory system: It works well as an antiseptic for the mouth and throat and could be used in mouthwashes and gargles for sore throats, ulcers and gum infections. It is also good for tonsillitis.

Genito-urinary System: Geranium has a balancing act due to the fact that it is an adrenal cortex stimulant which means that it will help to govern the balance of hormones secreted by other organs. So it can be of great help with menopausal problems, fluid retention or conditions where a fluctuating hormone balance is indicated.

General: An excellent insect repellent is Geranium, mixed with Bergamot, Lemon and Citronella.

Mixing Oils: It blends well with Lavender, Patchouli, Rose, Neroli, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Juniper, Bergamot and other citrus oils.
