Essential Oils and Fragrant Medicinals

Geranium

Geranium Essential Oil

Geranium works profoundly on the emotions and is useful in many medical conditions – and smells wonderful while it works so hard. The oil is extracted not from the familiar brightly colored geranium but from the species Pelargonium – Geranium Robert or “lemon plant” – which is very often displayed in abundance in Greek restaurants.

  • Application:

Diffuse and apply topically. May be added to food or soy / rice milk as a dietary supplement. Apply where you would use a deodorant.

  • Fragrant Influence:

It may help to release negative memories. It may also help ease nervous tension and stress, balance the emotions, lift the spirit, and foster peace, well-being, and hope.

  • Safety Data:

If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician.

Geranium will make chilblains disappear overnight and brings a radiant glow when used in skin care. This oil is useful in applications for aged, wrinkling or older skin, as well as for healing balms and salves after facial or plastic surgery.

More importantly, it is a vital component in the treatment of endometriosis, is very effective for menopausal problems, diabetes, blood disorders, throat infections, and as a nerve tonic, and works well as a sedative.

When inhaled the scent is antidepressant, uplifting, averts tension, and is stimulating to the psyche.

It is reputed to help in cases of uterine and breast cancer and if nothing else, would certainly help the patient to relax and cope with the pain. Geranium has many applications, from frostbite to infertility, and its antiseptic and astringent properties contribute to its general usefulness. Its delightful floral fragrance makes it a pleasure to use, either on its own or as a contributory oil in blends.

Important Notice

Almost anyone can enjoy the benefits of an aromatherapy oil, but certain individuals, such as pregnant women, persons with allergies, and those with respiratory conditions such as asthma should only use essential oils for aromatherapy under the guidance of a trained professional.

Keep in mind that essential oils are highly concentrated botanical extracts and should never be ingested or applied to skin at full strength. Consult a professional aromatherapist or an accredited reference on aromatherapy for advice on these uses.

For the fragrance that came to each was like a memory of dewy mornings of unshadowed sun in some land of which the fair world in Spring is itself but a fleeting memory…
