Geranium Essential Oil is Calming
and Supports Healthy  Hair and Skin!

Geranium Essential Oil has a sweet, floral fragrance that calms and relaxes the body and mind. It has been used back to the times of the Egyptians for promoting and supporting beautiful healthy skin and hair.

With naturally occurring citronellol and geraniol, geranium is definitely one to have around for hot summer days while doing outside activities. Combines well with lavender.

Did you know that the untrained nose usually identifies Geranium Essential Oil for Rose Essential Oil?

Yes, because Geranium oil has a rose like scent. In fact Geranium oil is used to adulterate Rose essential oil for this reason. Also, pure Rose essential oil is about five to six times the cost of Geranium essential oil!

That is why...

I like to wear Geranium oil as a natural perfume especially if I am going to a stressful meeting. The aroma is wonderful, it keeps me relaxed, and the issues always get resolved quickly and peacefully!

My favorite blends that contain Geranium are Envision and White Angelica , The Oil of Angels!

This section is a fun and easy reference guide for Geranium Essential Oil. It will tell you how to use it and what to use it for. It will also provide you with some fun suggestions, safety precautions for you and your pet!
