Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) essential oil is a woodsy softly floral aroma that soothes anxious feelings, supports healthy hormone levels, skin and digestive health.

Geranium feels like a warm hug and smells like soft, warm, textured, fertile dark soil. It conjures an image for me of having my feet firmly rooted in the nutrient rich soil while my heart and head reach skyward. This image makes me think of Casey Kasem’s adage: “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”
