Rose Geranium Essential Oil

Balancing, sedative, hormone support



Rose geranium essential oil has a great all-over balancing effect on hormones, emotions and even your skin.


Lifting your mood and sedating you at the same time, it's an excellent support for PMS and menopause symptoms.


Rose geranium is especially useful in skincare remedies and is often used in formulations with rose essential oil to "stretch" the (extremely expensive) rose aroma.


Rose Geranium essential oil smells more rose-like than regular Geranium oil.


Emotionally, geranium essential oils are used to balance mood swings, excessive emotionalism, lack of moderation or harmony, overattachment and workaholism.
