Description
Geranium essential oil is derived from the leaves and flowers of the geranium plant, which is a perennial plant native to South Africa. The oil is extracted through steam distillation, and its aroma is floral and sweet, with a hint of citrus.
Geranium essential oil is commonly used in aromatherapy and has a variety of potential benefits. It is believed to have antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for treating a range of skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and dermatitis.
In addition, geranium essential oil is thought to help relieve stress and anxiety, as well as balance hormones, making it beneficial for women going through menopause or experiencing menstrual symptoms. It may also have pain-relieving properties, making it useful for reducing headaches and muscle aches.
However, it is important to note that essential oils can be potent and should be used with caution. It is recommended to dilute geranium essential oil with a carrier oil before applying it to the skin and to avoid using it during pregnancy or if you have a medical condition without consulting a healthcare provider first.
