Common Uses of Geranium Essential Oil
Geranium oil, is the oil of balance. It balances the mind, emotions and skin. Every essential oils should include Geranium as it easily blends with most essential oils and adds richness, complexity and a deep aroma to blends.
Skin
Geranium essential oil helps balance the sebum levels in the skin, naturally boosting the skin's health and natural glow. By balancing the sebum levels, the skin remains conditioned and soothed, helping to prevent breakouts in spot-prone skin.
Mind
Shingles often result in postherpetic neuralgia, a very painful condition affecting the nerve fibers and skin that run along a nerve.
Many publications have recommended the use of Geranium oil with shingles. One study found that topical application of geranium oil significantly reduced postherpetic neuralgia pain within minutes of application. However, these effects were temporary and required reapplication as needed.
Precautions when using Geranium Essential Oil
As with all essential oils we do not recommend using Geranium during pregnancy, especially as it regulates the hormonal system. May cause irritation to sensitive skin
