Rose Geranium

It can calm agitation, put emotions into order, strengthen our character, balance desire and action. On the physical side, its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antispasmodic, and vulnerary properties are well known.
It is useful against canker sores, gingivitis, acne, eczemas, and hemorrhoids. In massages, it is useful in case of cellulite and water retention.

Suggested uses:

• Home diffuser: add between 3 and 6 drops to 100 ml of water
• Bathtub: emulsify 8-10 drops of essential oil with coarse salt — or alternatively milk, cream, or honey — to add to the hot water (so that the oil doesn’t evaporate due to the heat)
• Massages: we recommend to dilute 1-2 drops of essential oil in a tablespoon of carrier oil
• Cosmetics: add 1 drop of essential oil to one tablespoon of natural moisturizer
• Food: we recommend 1-2 drops per 100 gr of food, to add after cooking (we suggest to always start with the lower dose and then increase it later, if preferred).

Caution: do not use in case of chronic diseases, pregnancy, or when breastfeeding.
If in doubt, please consult your doctor/naturopath.
