doTerra Geranium Essential Oil*

A member of the Pelargonium genus, geranium is grown for its beauty and serves as a staple of the perfume industry. There are over 200 varieties of Pelargonium flowers, but only a few are used as essential oils.
 
Uses of geranium essential oil date back to ancient Egypt, when Egyptians used it to beautify the skin and hair. In the Victorian era, fresh geranium leaves were placed at formal dining tables as decorative pieces and were consumed as a fresh sprig, if desired. In fact, the edible leaves and flowers are often used in desserts, cakes, jellies, and teas.
 
Geranium essential oil promotes the appearance of clear skin and healthy hair, making it ideal for skin and hair care products. The aroma creates a calming, relaxing atmosphere.
