Geranium Essential Oil

Geranium Essential Oil

Botanical Name: Pelargonium graveolens
Origin: Egypt
Distillation Method: Steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the plant

Geranium essential oil is derived from a leafy, flowering shrub native to temperate climates. Ours is sourced from Egypt, where the warm, dry climate produces an oil that’s rich in rosy, herbaceous fragrance. Steam distilled from the plant’s green leaves and delicate pink blooms, geranium oil has been cherished for centuries for its balancing and beautifying properties.

Scent Profile

Geranium essential oil has a soft, sweet-floral aroma with subtle green and herbaceous undertones. Often described as a more grounded cousin of rose, it adds a rounded, fresh scent to blends and pairs well with lavender, bergamot, patchouli, and citrus oils.

Aromatherapy Benefits

Renowned for its ability to bring the body and mind into balance, geranium essential oil is often used to support hormonal health and emotional wellbeing. It may help ease tension, mood swings, or stress, making it an excellent choice for PMS or perimenopause support. In skincare, it’s valued for its natural astringent and anti-inflammatory properties, often used to tone and calm the skin. Historically, geranium was planted around homes in Victorian times to help purify the air and ward off negative energy.

Emotional & Energetic Properties

Geranium promotes emotional stability, harmony, and inner strength. Energetically, it’s connected with the heart chakra and is thought to restore equilibrium during times of emotional upheaval. Ideal for rituals of self-love and compassion.
