Our expert Dr Françoise Couic Marinier tells you all about essential oils.
Thanks to a multitude of therapeutic properties as well as an intoxicating scent and beautiful appearance, Geranium Essential Oil is one of the most popular essential oils in aromatherapy.
Here’s all you need to know about how to include the balancing and soothing Geranium Oil in your daily rituals.

Benefits of Geranio Essential Oil
1. Rebalancing
According to Dr Couic Marinier, “Geranium Essential Oil is a powerful natural remedy to rebalance the nervous system and boost your mood”.
Geranium Oil also has the power to improve mental processes and cognitive function, making for an overall feel-good element.
2. Catalyses healing
Geranium Oil is a known hemostatic, meaning that it can prevent hemorrhaging both by restricting blood vessels and encouraging blood clotting.
Dr Couic Marinier explains; “When used on a cut, Geranium Essential Oil first accelerates blood flow and rids the body of any potential infection, followed by repairing the dermis to protect the wound”.
3. Painkiller
When applied topically, Geranium Oil has active compounds that act on the nerves to fight pain rapidly.
Essential Oils can be extremely helpful for pain relief. Look to Peppermint Oil and Rosemary Oil for other natural remedies. 4. Anti-inflammatory
Dr Couic says, “the elements Geraniol and Citronellol in Geranium Oil can inhibit certain mediators of inflammation”.
Since inflammation is associated with many health conditions, Geranium Essential Oil’s ability to inhibit the inflammatory response in the skin can help to fight against and repair many issues. 5. Antibacterial
Geranium Oil has potent antibacterial and antifungal properties, which make it a great natural treatment to inhibit and protect from infection.
