Good morning!!! We are 1/2 way through most peoples work week. Today lets focus on Geranium essential oil. Gods gifts on this earth (flowers, trees, grasses) do some pretty amazing things! doTERRA essential oils are very potent so a little bit goes a very long way. Geranium essential oil is no exception to this fact. A member of the Pelargonium genus of flower species, Geraniums are grown for their beauty and as a staple of the perfume industry. While there are over 200 different varieties of Pelargonium flowers, only a few are used as essential oils. Uses of Geranium essential oil date back to ancient Egypt when Egyptians used Geranium oil to beautify skin and for its internal health benefits. In the Victorian era, fresh Geranium leaves were placed at formal dining tables as decorative pieces and to be consumed as a fresh sprig if desired; in fact, the edible leaves and flowers of the plant are often used in desserts, cakes, jellies, and teas. As an essential oil, Geranium has been used to promote clear, healthy skin—making it ideal for skin care products. It also helps calm nerves, lessen anxiety, and support a healthy liver. Geranium offers outstanding benefits for soothing skin and is a common ingredient in many skin care products. Also useful for joint support and tempering minor aches and pains, Geranium’s calming effects make it a popular choice for many essential oil users. Use Geranium Aromatically, Topically, or Internally Primary Benefits: • Promotes clear, healthy skin • Helps calm nerves and lessen anxiety • Supports liver health USES: Use in an aromatherapy steam facial to beautify skin.
