Geranium Bourbon Oil 10ml
Geranium Bourbon has a delightful, fresh, green, rose-like scent and is an excellent balancing oil for all-round use. It is especially popular with women.
It is steam distilled from Geranium plant leaves.
We consider Geranium Bourbon to be the finest type of Geranium. It comes from the island of La Réunion, 500 miles east of Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean. As a result, the island has the ideal climate and soil conditions for production of geranium.
Pelargonium graveolens has a clear to light green colour. Do not confuse it with the household variety of geranium, which is a completely different species. It is a greenish coloured oil, with a very strong, well-balanced odour. The difference between this oil and the Egyptian or Chinese is so significant that Absolute Aromas also stocks an Egyptian Geranium.
Geranium blends very well with the citrus oils. It is deodorising, cleansing and uplifting as well as having good insect-repellent properties. The odour of the Bourbon Geranium is quite powerful and it may dominate over other oils in a blend.
Blend 1 drop of Geranium with 2 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Mandarin in a teaspoon of Sweet Almond oil for use as a relaxing, refreshing bath oil.
Alternatively, blend the same oils with two teaspoons of Peach Kernel oil for a special hydrating body moisturiser with a delicious aroma.
After a long haul flight, try blending together 2 drops of Geranium, 1 Drop each of Juniper and Lavender in 10 ml of Peach Kernel; massage in to the ankles to encourage elimination.
