Absolute Aromas Organic Geranium (Egyptian) essential oil, (also known as Pelargonium graveolens) is a delightful, fresh and green, rose-like essential oil that is clear to light green in colour.

In a diffuser or burner, Geranium blends very well with the citrus oils. It is deodorising, cleansing and uplifting as well as having quite good insect-repellent properties.

Geranium is an excellent balancing and uplifting oil for all-round use and is especially popular with women.

Did you know?
Pelargonium graveolens is not to be confused with the household variety of geranium, which is a completely different species.

Method of Extraction:
This organic oil is steam distilled from the whole plant. It is not easy to produce as the plant is susceptible to rust, making the organic oil very rare.

Directions:

• Try blending 1 drop of Geranium with 2 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Mandarin in a teaspoon of Sweet Almond oil for use as a relaxing, refreshing bath or massage oil.
• Alternatively, blend the same oils with two teaspoons of Peach Kernel oil for a special hydrating body moisturiser with a delicious aroma.
• After a long haul flight, try blending together 2 drops of Geranium, 1 Drop each of Juniper and Lavender in 10 ml of Peach Kernel; massage in to the ankles to encourage elimination of fluid.

Caution:
To be avoided during pregnancy.
