Oil of the Week: Geranium

I will attempt to showcase a oil that I am using a lot, is new to me, or just because I darn right feel like it! I think oil education is so important, and I would love to share the knowledge, and my personal opinion/experience with a certain oil.

This week, I would like to introduce to you...

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

 Uses of Geranium essential oil date back to ancient Egypt when

 Egyptians used Geranium oil to beautify skin and for other benefits. 

In the Victorian era, fresh geranium leaves were placed at formal dining

 tables as decorative pieces and to be consumed as a fresh sprig if desired;

 in fact, the edible leaves and flowers of the plant are often used in desserts,

 cakes, jellies, and teas. 

As an essential oil, Geranium has been used to promote the

 appearance of clear skin and healthy hair—making it ideal for skin and hair care products.

 It also helps calm nerves and lessen feelings of stress. Geranium is also known to naturally repel insects.
