Geranium is balancing, cheerful, invigorating and uplifting.
Traditionally geraniums were planted around a house to prevent evil spirits from harming the owners.
During Victorian times, potted plants would often be placed along the sides of stairways so that women’s long skirts would brush against them releasing the perfume of the plant.
Colonial American housewives lined baking pans with rose geranium leaves to impart a delicate rose flavor to their baked goods.
Today rose geranium is one of the most widely used essential oils in perfumery and cosmetics. It is known as an “all rounder” being that it has a positive effect on the emotions, is used to treat skin conditions, and is an effective insect repellent.
It’s rich sweet aroma frees the mind from negative or depressing thoughts and can stimulate feelings of sensuality making this an excellent choice to scent bed linens and night clothes.
Geranium is one of my favorites. I keep the sachets in my drawers, and love to bathe in it. It is very useful for diminishing headaches, stress and PMS.
