Essential Oil Summary

Plant Summary

The rose-scented pelargonium, Pelargonium graveolens, is a shrubby plant with rose-scented leaves and pinkish white flowers that can brighten up any garden. It attracts bees, butterflies and birds with its nectar and fragrance. It is also a source of geranium oil, which is used as a perfume ingredient and a natural remedy for various ailments. The leaves can also be used as a tea, or flavouring. This plant is easy to grow from cuttings or seeds, and prefers moist, semi-shaded positions. It is native to southern Africa, where it grows in mountainous habitats with mild winters and hot summers.

Creating with Essential Oils

Essential oils are also known as volatile oils. Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants by steam distillation, resulting in a very concentrated herbal preparation. Essential oils are not safe to ingest but can be safely used in diffusers or topical first-aid and for cosmetic preparations like creams, shampoos, massage oils, and wound balms. As a guide use 1-4 drops in an essential oil burner, and 1 drop in 5mls carrier oil or a 1% concentration in topical preparations. Keep safely out of reach of children and animals.
