Geranium

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

Just returned home from a swap treatment to read the digest, only to find

geranium

being discussed - my friend just used it on me, along with rose otto and basil!

This is a blend I particularly like because it's ultra relaxing without being

sedative, just what I needed.

For me, the keyword to geranium is balancing - of body, mind and spirit. I

prefer

the ones that aren't too sweet. Did you know that South Africa is home to the

pelargoniums, and yet we don't produce the essential oil - what a waste!

On a metaphysical note, geranium resonates with the solar plexus chakra - you

can

use it for protection, and it helps us achieve our goals, perhaps by

strengthening

that particular chakra.

Hi Moira in Johannesburg - nice to meet you. I would think that geranium would

be

good for your HIV+ clients, on both a physical level (their many skin problems)

and

on other levels (anti-depressant, soothing to the mind etc). What do you like

to

use?

This looks like a good list to be on!

Ciao

Helen in Cape Town

Helen, I have a very funny way of allowing my clients to select their own

blends if there is nothing specific which I am treating. They have already

lost so much control over their own lives that I suggest that they sniff a

few of the oils and select for themselves. Interestingly, they tend to

select oils according to what I consider their needs to be, perhaps because

I open the bottles most likely to produce the effects I want fairly early.

I'm also quite mean when I do this because I often open eucalyptus or

peppermint quite early and then give them the citrus and blossom fragrances.

Interestingly my niece, who has eczema, tends to choose it almost as her

first choice, as does one of the women who has severe menstrual problems.

 

I am fortunate in that two of the doctors who work extensively with HIV+

people in my circle are also " clients " of mine for aromatherapy. This makes

them very supportive of my work. Both are convinced that the care and love

passed on by the physical touch are in themselves beneficial. I have long

been convinced that I have the gift of healing, so I spend some time

balancing myself and then trying to get energy to flow beneficially.
