Rose Geranium
Origin and background
Rose geranium essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flowers, leaves, and stems of this plant. Rose geranium plants are mostly native to South Africa, but are also found in North Africa, China, and several European countries.
Rose geranium is also called rose-scented geranium or fragrant geranium. The plant has velvety lush leaves and pale pink flowers.
Rose geranium can be found in many perfumes and skin care products.
Properties
Aromatic properties
Rose geranium essential oil helps soothe anxiety and other diseases of the nervous system, and acts as an excellent mood enhancer. It can help with depression as well as during mood swings associated with hormonal changes.
It has a calming and energizing effect. Great for creating positive energy. Particularly suitable for aromatherapy sessions with various citrus oils, for example with bergamot or sweet orange essential oil.
The strong aroma of rose geranium essential oil also repels annoying mosquitoes. Therefore, it is a very effective natural insect repellent and is perfect for this purpose in combination with citronella and lemongrass.
The fragrant geranium was once planted around homes as a hedge because it was believed to keep evil spirits away from the home - just as it repels mosquitoes!
Healing properties
Rose geranium oil has strong antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties.
Rose geranium essential oil is suitable for all skin types and has a soothing and balancing effect when used in the right concentration on the skin. It balances the sebum, which makes it very useful for skin that is either very oily or very dry, or otherwise out of balance.
Rose geranium essential oil is an important active ingredient in some cosmetic products, such as various creams and perfumes. A summary of surveys in 2017 showed that the antioxidants in rose geranium oil can help reduce the signs of aging. Antioxidants are natural substances that improve the skin's ability to heal itself from the toxins and effects of the environment.
Can be used to support the menstrual cycle, relieve discomfort and reduce bloating. When diluted in a carrier oil, it is safe for use during pregnancy at low concentrations.
Recommended uses
Topical
- It is recommended to use essential oils and their blend in a diluted form. Especially for sensitive and gentle skin. This means adding a small amount of water or carrier oil before applying it to the skin. The blend can be placed, for example, in a roll-on bottle that is convenient to carry along and can be used at any convenient time.
- Can also be added to a neutral unscented cream, lotion, or liquid soap to achieve radiant and healthy skin.
- Can be used in an aroma diffuser both at home or in the office to create a pleasant and cozy atmosphere that relaxes the senses and creates a pleasant aroma around you.
- It can also be added to an oil burner. Don't forget to add water to the oil burner and then drip in the essential oil! Pure essential oil is too strong and has a faint odor.
