Geranium Essential Oil

geranium, geranium flower

Geranium essential oil is a wonderful skin moisturizer and toner when used topically. With inhalation aromatherapy, geranium helps to relieve depression and "the blues." It uplifts the spirit and dispels negative emotions. When taken in food or drink (one drop only) it may assist liver and circulation disorders. When applied to the skin it may help to relieve shingles, eczema, acne, herpes, shingles and dermatitis.

Some find this a delightful fragrance but for some it is too heavy a scent. However it blends extremely well with all other essential oils and its versatility cannot be overlooked.
