There are over 250 known varieties of geranium, grown throughout the world. The fragrant plant used to extract our essential oil is the Pelargonium Gravolens. Unlike many other floral fragrances, the distillation process for Geranium essential oil uses the leaves of the plant, not the flowers themselves. Geranium is used in  aromatherapy to nurture and lighten the soul. Great for balancing mood and calming anxiety. Its aroma is sweet, soothing and rosy and is considered middle note in perfumery. Blends well with bergamot, lavender and lemongrass essential oils.

Use:

For external use only. All essential oils must be diluted first in carrier oil or another suitable base, before using them on the skin or diluting them in the bath water. It is not recommended to inhale directly or to breathe intensely (i.e. vapour treatments) for longer than 15-20 minutes. This does not apply to essential oils diffused in the air with the means of an aroma lamp. It is best to turn on a lamp for 30-60 minutes, then rest for the same period of time. Fresh air must be allowed in the premises regularly. Always do a patch test before applying a new essential oil to the skin: dilute 1 drop of the essential oil in 1 tsp of carrier oil and apply to the inner forearm and leave on for 24 hours – if any irritation occurs, discontinue use. If you are pregnant, nursing, have sensitive skin or wish to use essential oils for your children, we recommend you consult an aromatherapist first.
