Are you looking for natural and effective solutions to turn off the creative ideas that are always in your mind to find a restorative inner sense of calm, and an easy way to nurture yourself? Read on to explore the myriad benefits of Geranium essential oil, a plant ally for cultivating love and trust.

Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) essential oil is a woodsy, softly floral aroma that soothes anxious feelings, supports healthy hormone levels, skin, and digestive health.

Geranium feels like a warm hug and smells like soft, warm, textured, fertile dark soil. It conjures an image for me of having my feet firmly rooted in the nutrient-rich soil while my heart and head reach skyward…like this.

 

And I think of Casey Kasem’s adage: “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”
