High Quality Geranium Essential Oil for Aromatherapy

Geranium oil is a highly aromatic essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves, stems, and flowers of plants from the Pelargonium genus, primarily Pelargonium graveolens. It is important to note that this is not the same as the common garden geraniums (genus Geranium). The oil is known for its complex, floral, and slightly minty aroma, often compared to a rose with a green, earthy undertone, which is why it’s sometimes called “the poor man’s rose oil.”

It is a staple in aromatherapy and natural wellness due to its wide range of purported benefits and its pleasant, balancing scent.
