Geranium Essential Oil (often referred to as the Poor Mans Rose oil– because it has such a similar scent) has a sweet, floral fragrance that calms and relaxes the body and mind. It has been used back to the times of the Egyptians for promoting and supporting beautiful healthy skin.

Used traditionally to support the circulatory and nervous systems, a great deal of its strength lies in its ability to revitalize body tissues. It is used to promote healthy skin (repair or rejuvenation), as well as widely known for its emotional support. It commonly promotes peace and a decrease in stress, especially in regards to releasing negativity, and is great for tension and overall well-being.

This floral oil is amazing for so many things

  • skincare,
  • immune health and
  • much more!

Add Geranium to roller blends, pair with Citronella to deter outdoor pests, and add it to your skincare routine. No matter how you use it, this floral oil will be an essential one in your arsenal.

1-2 drops on the abdomen for mood swings, energy and emotional support to my daily routine.
