Geranium EO

Roses are red, violets are blue, Geranium is an essential oil, that smells just as sweet too!

Geranium has a very sweet, floral scent and many great uses, most of which are used in the beauty industry. In fact, Geranium EO dates back to ancient Egypt when Egyptians used Geranium for its beautifying elements. Geranium has also been known to reduce feelings of stress and to repel insects.

Some of my favorites include:

* It is great to use on your face to help with blemishes and redness. I mix a drop or two in with my facial lotion at night after I wash my face. When I wake up in the morning my face feels so soft! Geranium is a great oil that can be used with all skin types!

* It is a good essential oil to use in hair care products for a healthy glow. Mixing a drop in with shampoo or an after shower hair oil can help soften and stimulate hair growth.

*Geranium, when used aromatically (inhaled or diffused), is a calming oil and can help reduce feelings of stress.

Diffuser Blend: Putting a few drops of Geranium EO in the diffuser can be very calming and help freshen up any living area. It can also be mixed with other EOs for fun blends. I like to mix Wild Orange and Lavender with Geranium for an uplifting Spring Scent.

Fun Fact: Edible Geranium flowers and fresh sprigs were used in the Victorian era as decorative pieces on dining room tables or to be consumed on cakes.
