Geranium oil can be used to help in the treatment of acne, bruises,
burns, cuts, dermatitis, eczema, hemorrhoids, lice, as a mosquito
repellant, ringworm, ulcers, breast engorgement, edema, poor
circulation, sore throat, tonsillitis, PMS, menopausal problems, stress
and neuralgia.

This uplifting oil has a great all-over balancing effect on the mind
and this uplifting property also extends to the effect it has on the
skin – where it helps to create balance between oily and dry skin. It
helps to sort out emotions – where it helps to relieve feelings of
stress and anxiety, and also works on the adrenal cortex, which has a
balancing effect on the hormone system.

The strong smell is particularly good to ward off mosquitoes and head lice.
