essential oils

geranium

Geranium (boswellia carterii) is one of your therapist's favourite oils, with its enticing sweet and floral, fresh and green, slightly spicy aroma. It is renowned for its cool and moist energy, enabling it to clear heat and inflammation, relax the nerves and calm feelings of anxiety.

Geranium is an excellent all-around oil for skin care, with its anti-inflammatory properties aiding acne, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin. As it encourages the circulation of blood, it is also useful for varicose veins, haemorrhoids and menstrual bleeding, and as such is indicated for symptoms of the menopause.

psychological benefits

Geranium relaxes and clears the mind, easing agitation, frustration and irritability, with a consolidating 'centering' effect. Conveying a feeling of clam strength and security, this oil is beneficial for both chronic and acute anxiety. Well known for its aphrodisiac qualities, Geranium holds a sensual and liberating nature. It reconnects us to our feeling life, emotional sensitivity and relaxed spontaneity, opening our capacity for intimate communication and a thirst for pleasure and enjoyment.
