Geranium
stimulates balance, warms and uplifts the emotional body; even though geranium
smells flowery the majority of the essential oil glands are found in the
leaves. Geranium has antiviral,
antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory,
astringent, diuretic, deodorant, sedative and vermifuge properties. Geranium radiates the feminine “Venus”
qualities of sensuality, creative intuition, emotion and protective character,
balancing to the adrenal cortex assisting hormonal issues such as pre-menstrual
syndrome, menopausal, premenopausal, moon cycle distress, and sore
swollen breasts prior to or during menstrual cycle.
Geranium is an efficient remedy
for candida albicans, as the antifungal properties of geranium act against
yeast without affecting the good bacterial flora. Geranium is stimulating to the liver and pancreas function. Geranium will benefit a multitude of
skin concerns such as eczema, itchy dry skin, burns, cuts, insect bites,
wounds, bruises, sunburn, balances sebum secretion, dull complexion, ringworm,
herpes, shingles, hemorrhoids and tonic for balancing oily skin. Geranium essential oil qualities
are the perfect addition for a relaxing and soothing massage and for general
skin care use. Geranium assists in
balancing the central nervous system; aid for nervous tension, poor
circulation, cellulite, cystitis, bleeding ulcers, and colitis.
Geranium, cypress blue and ravensara
in combination are an effective remedy for shingles. For premenopausal, menopausal and moon cycle distress use in
combination with some of geranium’s sisters like: clary sage, anise raven, elemi
and nutmeg!
On an
energetic level geranium acts as “the goddess of protection”, supporting the
female during momentous transitions on her journey, a passage essence! Use geranium for emotional support of
empty nest syndrome, menopause, and delicate transitions not necessarily of our
own intended creation. The
energetic nature of geranium may be used for creativity, contentment,
performance, encouragement, peacefulness and self-worth.
