What is Geranium Oil?
Geranium oil (pelargonium graveolens) is extracted from the leaves of the geranium plant by distillation. According to Julia Lawless, in the "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils," geranium oil is sometimes known as rose geranium oil. The types of geranium oil differ depending on the plant species from which they are extracted; for example, you might find geranium oil described as Bourbon geranium. This is a reference to the area in which it grows. Geranium oil might be slightly different in chemical composition, depending on where it is cultivated, but in general most geranium oils have the same physical properties.

How To Use Geranium Oil
  • Add 2 drops to the amount you would use for body moisturiser
  • Add 5-10 drops to a vaporiser                                                                                                        
  • Hot or cold compress - for antiseptic use
  • Add 5-6 drops to a two ounce spray bottle filled with water, shake well before each.
  • To reduce water retention apply 3-4 drops with your moisturiser to the legs and rub from the feet up to the knees. Always rub towards the heart, never away.
  • Apply the oil to a cut, use a butterfly bandage to pull the edges together, and it is almost as good as stitches in a day or two.
  • Great for hemorrhoids. Simply apply to the affected area several times a day and the swelling will go down and the pain will disappear

Science Behind Geranium’s Efficacy
(Extracted from traceetc.com)
The primary constituent is geraniol, which builds collagen fibers (the protein that is the main building block of bone, cartilage, tendon, and other connective tissues) in the tissues. This means that it creates a regenerative action in these parts of the body, especially the skin.
Balances hormones by opening up the circulatory system and allowing the hormones to
be carried to where they need to be.
Great for female problems—PMS, swollen breasts, cramps, heavy or missing periods,
etc. It even helps normalize the fluctuating hormones experienced during menopause!
Apply to the ankles, the inner thighs, the soft upper arms, or even the breasts. If you are
experiencing menstrual cramps apply on location. If you are experiencing heavy
menstrual bleeding, apply to the abdominal area. You may initially experience a brief
time of heavier flow, but then it should diminish to a more normal level of bleeding.
