Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens)

Geranium, also known as Pelargonium scented, Lady Plymouth, Rose Geranium, Pink Geranium, Pelargonium graveolens var. roseum or Geranium bourbon, is a perennial plant used not only for its attractiveness in gardening, but also in aromatherapy and cosmetics. This plant with pearl-like leaves and pink flowers is native to South Africa and belongs to the Geraniaceae family. The plant can be propagated both from seed and by cuttings. It prefers full sun, well-drained soil and regular watering, but can withstand dry periods.

The scent of geranium is delicately spicy with a hint of rose, which is the reason for its popularity in perfumery and aromatherapy. The plant is used to make essential oil, which is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves and flowers. This oil is used in the production of perfumes, soaps, creams and other cosmetic products. Geranium essential oil is said to have a number of beneficial effects. It has antibacterial and antiviral properties, can help heal wounds and eczema, reduce inflammation and promote skin regeneration. In aromatherapy it is used to calm and harmonise the mind, promoting a sense of security and well-being. When taken internally - in the form of tea, for example - geranium has diuretic and laxative effects. Care should be taken that some people may be allergic to geranium oil.
