Interesting Facts:

  • Geranium, being a styptic, has the ability to stop the occurrence of hemorrhage as it slows down blood flow by contracting the arteries and veins. [9] It also has hemostatic properties, which cause the blood to clot. This helps heal wounds faster.
  • Geraniums were first brought to Europe in the 17th century and with time, their fame has spread throughout the world.
  • Geranium promotes hair growth because it regulates the secretion of sebum on the scalp. The essential oil can be added to either, carrier oils or shampoo. This helps give the hair a smooth sheen and a lovely, mild rose aroma.
  • According to a study conducted by Dr. Bruce Frome of Beverly Hills, published in the American Journal of Medicine, topical application of geranium oil provides temporary relief of postherpetic neuralgia pain. [5] It also concludes, “Geranium oil relieves pain in minutes and is well tolerated.”
