Geranium has properties that make it an effective treatment for several specific ailments not explicitly treated by other oils. For example, it has anti-inflammatory properties that make it beneficial as a natural treatment to swelling of the legs and feet caused by edema by adding a few drops to bathwater and soaking in it. Also, studies have shown it has potential benefits that increase neuroinflammation in the brain of patients with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Metaphysically: Geranium balances emotions, promotes self-love, and opens the heart chakra. It can be used to ease anxiety, lift the spirits, and foster feelings of peace and well-being. It's also associated with attracting love and abundance.
Safety is paramount when working with pure essential oils. This blend is potent and should always be diluted with a carrier oil (such as jojoba, almond, or fractionated coconut oil) before topical application. A general guideline is 1-3% dilution (e.g., 5-15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil). Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult your physician before use. Diffuse in a well-ventilated area and start with shorter diffusion times to assess your sensitivity.
