Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dear friends, I apologize for this question. It might be simple (or not?) but I can't check it myself: all my books are packed in boxes as I'm in the process of moving. What's the latest on Geranium EO and birth control pills? I remember reading years ago that they shouldn't be taken together (don't remember the reasons given, I suspect it would be something about Geranim's purported ability to increase blood estrogen levels). I haven't checked lately on the status, and now my girlfriend is asking me and I can't answer. I checked scholar.google but didn't find anything relevant. Is this a myth or is it true? Thanks in advance. Nika PS. I might be a bit slow to respond to my emails because of the move. But I will be waiting anxiously for any information. N.

In addition to that, the chemical differences between different types of pelargonium oils are vast so they cannot possibly simply say " geranium oil " .
