Rose Geranium Essential Oil Uses: For Wholesale Purposes

Perfume

The scent of Rose Geranium and the traditional rose are similar, with subtle differences. Both have the strong, sweet, floral aroma we all know and love, but the Rose Geranium has hints of green and citrus, meaning it can also be used in more masculine fragrances. Rose Geranium falls are classed as a middle or heart note, which balances top and base notes and creates longer-lasting aromas.

Aromatherapy 

Aromatherapy is widely used as a complementary therapy to help reduce stress and anxiety levels. Certain essential oils can induce certain reactions in the body. Some increase energy and alertness, and others calm and soothe.

A 2019 research group from Japan showed that inhalation of Geranium Essential Oil might reduce heart rate and blood pressure. ( Mice were used since animals are believed to be immune to the placebo effect. They enjoyed 30 minutes of exposure to the essential oil vapors, and their brain tissues were analyzed. It is thought that the changes may have been brought about by linalool. 

This follows a lovely trial done in 2015 in Iran. One hundred ladies who had been admitted to Bent al-Hoda Hospital in the city of Bojnord in the North Khorasan province of Iran between 2012-213 were divided into two groups. One group was given geranium essential oil to sniff during their labor, and the other group was given a placebo. They were all first-time mums and were given a Spielberger questionnaire to assess their anxiety levels. Post-intervention showed that the anxiety had decreased considerably in the geranium group; however, strangely, there was no change in their diastolic blood pressure. (Fakari, 2015)

Geranium Oils are wonderfully hydrating for the complexion. It nourishes and protects the skin and is tremendous for very dry skin. Aromatherapists often add geranium to creams and ointments for dry and flaky skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Massage Oils

Now that you know the research behind why Rose Geranium is good for both mood and skin, you can likely see what a great option it would be to add to massage oils. Add a few drops to a carrier oil, such as jojoba or fractionated coconut, and massage into the skin. Let the floral fragrance help calm and soothe you.

Is Rose Geranium Essential Oil Safe for Dogs?

Online you can find many DIY recipes for tick repellents for dogs. Many of these recipes include rose geranium oil since linalool has natural insecticide properties. (Beier, 2004)

At first glance, this sounds like a great alternative to other potentially harmful repellents. However, it is important to remember how concentrated essentials are. Never let your dog ingest oils, including putting them anywhere your pet could manage to lick at them. Additionally, the scent of essential oils is very potent, even for us. The smell may be uncomfortable for your pet. If you are going to use essential oils on or around your animal, it is important to consult with a vet first to ensure the method and oil you wish to use won’t cause your dog harm. If you aren’t sure, it’s best to avoid it.

Additionally, if diffusing oils in the house, always make sure your dog has an open door to leave the room if he or she becomes uncomfortable, and keep notice of any signs of odd behavior.
