Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 Greetings, This is a great idea and here is my 2 cents worth on Geranium. Geranium is associated with the air and water elements and the planet Venus. It will excite happiness and harmony in relationships. Relieving stress, it makes you content and predisposed to tenderness and good humor with others. It also helps balance aggressive and passive tendencies. Balancing the adrenals and hormones, it also regulates blood pressure, as well as the pressures within a relationship. Although calming anxieties and apprehensions, it is uplifting--stimulating the psyche and soul. I have geranium oils from several different countries including China, Egypt and recently acquired some from India....each uniquely wonderful.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 1999 Report Share Posted November 1, 1999 Let's talk a little this week about what we know about Geranium. I will add the some basics down to start and whoever wants to add ANYTHING they know about it can go for it. This is just a good way to get to know the oils. Tell us how you would use this beautiful Essential Oil. You can talk about any aspect of healing with it or even if you just use it cause you like the scent. If you use it in massage, or with meditation or with whatever tell us. We are all here to learn Geranium Latin Name: Pelargonium Graveoloens Main Countries of Origin: Egypt and other North African Countries, China, India, S.Amerca and S. Europe and other countries. Extracted: Leaves and/or flowering tops by steam distillation Description: Bluish-geen to brownish-yellow, depending on age of oil. Safety: Skin sensitivity rare. Uses: Tranquil atmosphere , relaxing but mentally uplifting, nasal and bronchial ailments, nervous tension. Anyone have more to add????

Guest guest Posted November 1, 1999 Report Share Posted November 1, 1999 Tracy, I used to grow several varietes of the Rose geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) and their varieties of rose-like fragrance is most remarkable. Standing in the greenhouse under an arch of 10 foot tall rose geraniums always energized me and calmed me. Almost like stepping through the veils into another dimension.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 1999 Report Share Posted November 1, 1999 This is a great idea! Thanks to you creative thinking folks! I remember the first time I smelled some geranium eo. Yuck! All I could remember was having to pull all the weeds in my parents flower garden and that sometimes I would accidentally pull a geranium limb - yuck, yuck, yuck! With the little I know today, I know that the essences that put me off are the ones I normally need and whenever I find they are no longer offensive in any way, that part of my body is also doing better. So, after all this time, I'm now beginning to enjoy geranium more and (get this...) my adrenals are doing a little bit better too! Still working on making my health a bit better, piece by piece, but this has really caused me to search out the oils for greater health benefits. Can't wait to hear what other folks experience here!

See Ya Vicky >> Pelargonium graveolens are rose geranium types, part of a larger family of scented geraniums, native to south Africa where they are shrubs. They are wonderful in the garden and windowsill and are not winter hardy although they are long lived perennials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
