GERANIUM ESSENTIAL OIL

Geranium essential oil is made by steam distilling the leaves of Pelargonium graveolens, a South African plant species. It was supposedly utilized for a variety of ailments, according to mythology. Geranium oil is produced in various parts of the world, including Europe and Asia. Pink flowers with a fresh, fragrant scent come in a variety of types and strains. Each type has its distinct aroma, although nearly identical in terms of content, advantages, and applications.

Geranium oil is a common component in perfumes and cosmetics. Aromatherapy uses essential oil to treat a variety of health problems. Essential oils are breathed through a diffuser or mixed with carrier oils and applied to the skin for calming effects in aromatherapy.

BENEFITS OF GERANIUM OIL ON SKIN
