Geranium Oil
Our geranium essential oil is extracted from the plant Pelargoniumodorantissimum, of the Geraniaceae family and is extracted from adifferent plant than its cousin rose geranium essentialoil - as this more expensive oil is extracted from Pelargoniumgraveolens.
It is a strong smelling oil with a floral aroma and a hint of mint,and when extracted from the Odorantissimum plant has a slight appleundertone, whereas the Graveolens oil has a rosier aroma.
This fresh essential oil has a firm place in aromatherapy, as ithelps to balance the mind and emotions, while stimulating theadrenal cortex and balancing the hormonal system and stimulatingthe lymphatic system. On the other hand, it balances the productionof sebum in the skin, while keeping it supple and helping with thehealing of wounds.
