Oil Name:
Geranium
Botanical Name
Pelarganium graveolens
Description
A balancing oil for the mind and the body. An astringent oil excellent for most all skin types. Geranium Oil is extracted from the leaves, stalk, and flowers of the plant, however, most of the oil glands are found in its leaves. The plant is native to dry arid areas of South Africa's Cape Province. It is highly drought resistant, as it is a semi-succulent having water-conserving stems and leaves. The constituents in the Rose Geranium leaves are geraniol, linalol and citronellol, which are also present in Rose Oil. The Geranium Oil's fragrance closely resembles the Rose, however, it has a different undertone, which is more earthy and somewhat minty. As the Rose, this oil is a favorite with women and this is not surprising as its healing properties align well to the female. Several components of Geranium Oil have a stimulating effect on the pituitary gland which in turn regulates the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone by the ovaries. Geranium is an ancient oil used by the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and other civilizations also. The genus name Pelargonium comes from the Greek "pelargos", meaning a stork, because of the stork bill shape characteristic of its flower and stem. A massage with Geranium Oil helps to relieve premenstrual pain and tension naturally. It is priced much lower than Rose and holds many of the same aromatic and healing properties.
