👩💻Let's talk about geranium for a second. Real talk!!
Geranium is one amazing oil, because it does incredible jobs and is extraordinary in its results.
Here are some things I have experienced personally with this oil.
🩹Stopping bleeding, but lets the bleeding do its job first.
I had cut/split my pinky really badly, 😮💨I had smashed it in a 🚪 door in the wardrobe in the family room. I did not want to use helichrysum, because I wanted it to bleed a little more to help wash any dirt out as where I’d smashed it was not clean 🧼 . So I cleaned it, used a couple drops of geranium, and then bandaged it. It healed quickly and you can’t tell I ever split it near in 1/2. 🤚🏼
💪Helps with fungal stuff.
My teen son got ringworm and by the time I saw it, it had spread. We had about a week tell scout camp to get rid of it. I created a blend for him and when I was looking up oils high in the chemical constituents to stop fungus, I found that geranium has stronger properties, because of the geraniol, then then tea tree oil dies in treating funguses. We set an alarm and he applied the blend every 20 min while awake, along with Balance and exposing it to sun and saltwater and he was clean & ready to go in time for camp.
🩸Menstrual bleeding.
I was getting very heavy periods, like not leaving the house that day heavy. I started to apply geranium over my tummy to calm them down, which really helped me get through them and I renormalized them with the add of a PMS blend I’d made with geranium in it.
I’d been all ready using geranium for years in my PMS blend as orginally my periods were super long, painful, and I was grouchy. I used that blend all month long for a few months to get rid of the moods, and shorten my periods to 7 days, as well as chill out the cramps so my periods were not painful, then after I used it as needed. (Note I used that same blend latter to help chill out hot flashes when those came with perimenopause.)
🤸♀️A new fun way I use Geranium, is over my lower back or lower tummy in a caster oil pack to support female organ health. I love how proavtive I can be, staying ahead of health issues or conquering them tell I’m back in that position.
Cool, right? But if you are like me, you wanna know WHY. Because understanding HOW something works allows you to apply that information to other situations for much better outcomes. Here’s a drop of a little essential oil chem for you. 😉
The main compound in geranium oil that helps with bleeding, and helps balances hormones, and slashes fungus is called geraniol.
Geraniol is a natural plant alcohol found in geranium oil. Some of what it does:
– antiseptic
– Slows minor bleeding
– antioxidant
– tones
— calms spasms
— uplifting
— gentle restorative to skin
— discombobulates fungus
That’s just 1 of its chemical constituents.
There’s also another helper called citronellol. It supports blood vessel strength and adds to the tightening effect.
So if we strip this down to middle school science class - minus the acne, angst, and puberty - (all of which geranium helps with too!😉😉 It’s freaking amazing for the skin.)
💣Geranium oil works in part because certain plant chemicals (46% geraniol) tell your tiny blood vessels to tighten up and behave themselves, funguses to clean up their act, and helps a woman’s hormones stabilize ++.
Less leaking.
Less issues.
Less drama.
It’s not magic. It’s chemistry.
