Geranium Rose
Ahh, a feeling of balance. Does anyone these days really know what that feels like? Well, a little Rose Geranium oil could bring that feeling a bit closer to reality.
Originally from South Africa, Madagascar, and Egypt, Pelargonium Graveolens was once planted as a hedge around homes and was thought to ward off evil spirits. Aromatherapists, however, have found that the oil of the plant is much more useful as a body-and-mind balancing agent.
With its mildly astringent nature, Rose Geranium oil is wonderful for balancing oily or "sluggish" skin. It is also used in the treatment of cellulite and excema. Its balancing action goes much deeper than the skin, however. This sweetly floral oil also acts to balance the hormones, thus helping to relieve symptoms of PMS, including fluid retention. It also has the much desired effect of helping to balance the nervous system, helping to energize the mind and combat depression and anxiety.
Aroma-wise, this oil blends well with Lavender, Bergamot, Clove, and many others. To see for yourself how well Geranium Rose oil blends with other oils, try our Veggie Body Butter or any of our other products in the Spiced Rose scent!
There, don't you feel a little more balanced already? If not, at least now you know what to do about it!
