Pelagonium Graveolens AKA Geranium Oil

There are many ways that the essential oil geranium can be helpful and aid in dealing with different types of issues. Firstly, it is incredibly common in the aromatherapy realm, and as such, is often added to diffusers and incorporated into oil blends, as it has a positive effect on the body through mere inhalation.

It can very positively impact the emotional and mental health of those who breathe in its fragrant and powerful aroma. There are a number of other ways that this oil can be beneficial when incorporated into daily life.

Reduces Wrinkles

That's right, this oil is great for the skin for many different reasons. One of which is that it targets those fine lines and wrinkles that have a way of easily creeping onto the face. Due to its astringent powers, it naturally tightens the skin on your face, which is the most susceptible to signs of aging and wrinkles.

You can add a couple of drops of the oil into your daily face lotion and apply it in the morning and at night. You'll start to notice a difference after a couple of weeks.

Tones Muscles

Are you constantly worried about your flabby stomach or sagging arms? While exercise and diet are two key components of getting the body you want, remember, hard work does pay off. Geranium oil can also help a bit. Its astringent properties are known to help tone those problem areas that you fret over.

Add a few drops of geranium oil into a carrier oil like jojoba oil to make a powerful massage oil that will help tone and tighten your muscles even when you aren't actively engaging them.

Fights Infections

The immune system that is weak is susceptible to many different infections and issues. This is why any type of essential oil that can help increase your immune system responses and health is one that you'll want to keep around. Because of geraniums antibacterial properties, it's a great oil to help combat issues with infections and the pesky germs that can start out as a little problem and then turn into a big one.

If you notice you are suffering from athlete's foot or any other type of germ overgrowth, a bit of geranium will nip it right in the bud. It is also a known healer. Have a cut? Put some geranium oil on it. This will prevent scars and will also help it to heal much faster.

Natural Deodorant

Because the oil is intrinsically a circulatory oil, it is the perfect type of oil to add to natural deodorant. Many people are becoming more and more aware of the health risks of traditional, over-the-counter deodorant. With oils like geranium, you can add a bit to a spray bottle with a little bit of oil (add lemongrass and lavender oil for extra fragrance) and spritz it daily.

Your sweat will smell pleasant and body odor is virtually eliminated with this type of oil. The spray can double as a natural perfume as well.
