Pelargonium graveolens
Geranium is excellent ‘all-round’ oil, with a wide range of uses, particularly for menopausal problems and pre-menstrual tension. Its diuretic quality makes it a wise choice for fluid retention, and cellulites and mastitis often respond well to it. For skin conditions and emotional disorders, it is a popular choice in the bath and in massage oil. Serious skin conditions often respond to its antiseptic and anti-fungal qualities.
Caution: Generally non-toxic and non-irritant, it may cause contact dermatitis in hypersensitive individuals.
