Geranium oil is obtained from the young plant tops of geraniums (Pelargonium asperum). They have a lemony scent. After the young plant tops are cut, they are then dried, and here you can smell the rose-like scent. Then it is steam distilled. Did you know that Geranium is used to flavour Bourbon (yes, the liquor!).
If you want to do everything you can to make the most out of the geranium oil that you have or if you want to make sure that you are using it properly, read below to learn more about geranium oil.
Wrinkle Reduction
Geranium oil is great at reducing wrinkles and the main reason for this is because it is an astringent. It actually induces contractions in the body and it tightens the skin as well. On top of this, it also works by reducing the effects of aging so if you want to take advantage of this then all you have to do is add some to your face lotion and apply it two times a day.
Muscle Toning
This oil helps you to tighten your muscles and it can prevent them from sagging. It can also help you to achieve more toned abs, so if you want to do this then all you have to do is add some to some jojoba oil and apply it to your muscles.
Infection Fighting Properties
Geranium oil can protect your body from infection. Geranium oil can prevent bacteria from growing and to take advantage of this all you have to do is apply some, diluted in coconut oil, to the affected area. You will then need to cover this with a gauze pad. This oil is fantastic at treating athletes foot, so run yourself a warm foot bath with some salt and oil if you want to get this sorted out.
Healing
If you want to heal faster or if you want to reduce the appearance of scars then consider massaging some geranium oil mixed with rosehip oil into the wound and onto the scar tissue. The main reason why this works is because it helps to circulate the blood and it has very powerful cicatrisant properties.
Cell Growth
When you use geranium oil on the skin, you’ll find that it can recycle any dead cells that might be present and it can also help new cells to grow. This gives your metabolism the chance to work more efficiently. If you want to do this you can either massage it into the skin or you can add it to a diffuser.
Increased Urination
If you urinate more then you will have a lower level of toxin in the body. Geranium oil is actually a diuretic and it is a great way for you to keep your body as healthy as possible.
Deodorant
Geranium oil is a circulatory oil and this means that it comes out of the body through perspiration. In other words, your sweat will smell great! Geranium oil also has some antibacterial properties and it is a great way for you to smell fresh on a day to day basis. Geranium does tend to smell like roses as well, so if you want to take advantage of this then add some drops to coconut and use it in a spray bottle.
