Description
Geranium
Origin and background
Geranium essential oil is steam distilled from the parts of the plant Pelargonium graveolens , using its leaves, stalks, and flowers.
Geranium plants originate in South Africa, the island of Réunion (part of France), Madagascar, Egypt, and Morocco, and were not introduced to Europe until the 17th century.
Although there are about 700 different varieties of this plant, only ten of them can produce large enough amounts of essential oil. Varieties planted in gardens generally produce too little oil during extraction. The Egyptians used this oil to highlight the beauty and radiance of the skin. Geranium can also be found in many perfumes and skin care products.
The fragrant geranium was once planted around homes as a hedge because it was believed to keep evil spirits away from the home - just as it scares away mosquitoes!
