In our opinion, Geranium Egypt is one of the most beautiful essential oils in aromatherapy. Geranium is always lovely, but there’s something about Egypt’s climate that produces something subtler and more refined. Chemically, they are virtually the same, and thus so are their properties. Geranium essential oil is often fobbed off as being a poor relation to Rose essential oil, but that sells it short. Spectacularly relaxing, it is a superior oil to use for stress. It is extremely nourishing for the skin, is a wonderful gynecological support as well as having potent antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Truly, Geranium essential oil can do it all.

Geranium Essential Oil for Skin
Geranium essential oil is your best choice for skin treatments if your complexion is normal or dry.
The advice for dry skin is often to use carrier oils to nourish it, but this only confuses the sebaceous glands into ceasing sebum production. A better way to treat the skin is to add Geranium essential oil to moisturizing bases to hydrate dry skin. Always remember, that dry skin is thirsty skin, it’s not hungry.
Geranium essential oil nourishes and hydrates the skin beautifully and is wonderful for facial massage treatments. Your skin adores these treats, as long as you don’t do them more than once a week. Geranium combines nicely with Rosehip, Jojoba, Peach Kernel, or Apricot Kernel carrier oils all of which will also nourish the complexion.
Traditionally, Geranium essential oil is also used for making ointments for eczema and dry flaky skin. Its success with eczema might also be because it is so good at soothing stress, which could also be down to its antifungal and antimicrobial nature.
Geranium Essential Oil for Relaxation
There aren’t many essential oils as relaxing and soothing as Geranium essential oil. It’s the perfect antidote for a difficult day. Thanks to detailed research, we are now beginning to understand what happens in your body when you use Geranium essential oil.
An Iranian trial from 2015 demonstrated the relaxation aspects of Geranium essential oil.
The trial was done between 2012 and 2013, on a maternity ward with a hundred women who were about to go into labor with their first children. They were divided into two groups. The first group inhaled Geranium essential oil as their labor progressed. The other group sniffed a placebo. Their anxiety levels were assessed by questionnaire. The results revealed the Geranium essential group had lower anxiety than those who had been using the placebo. (Fakari, 2015).
Molecules get to your brain very quickly when you inhale an essential oil. But what happens then?
A recent trial monitored the brains of participants who were given 10 different essential oils, with the aid of an EEG.
They sought to follow two different parameters for each essential oil. First, which part of the brain did each essential oil affect - the left or right prefrontal cortex, and second, and second, what changes did it bring about?
Alpha waves are observed in the prefrontal cortex when someone is in a semi-awake state of REM sleep, or as they meditate or have an inner state of peace and stillness. Beta waves in the frontal cortex demonstrate good cognitive performance like being able to make decisions or to evaluate information.
The brain scans revealed that when someone inhales Geranium essential oil it will stimulate beta waves. (Frequencies between 12 to 30 Hz). These are associated with critical thinking, problem-solving, focused attention, and engaging in tasks requiring cognitive effort.
However, the test showed that inhaling Geranium essential oil moved brain waves to a Relative Low Beta (RLB) state which is linked to more relaxed states. This state is seen when someone is concentrating in a relaxed state and is most capable of learning.
How Does Geranium Essential Oil Make You Feel?
Thoughts and feelings alter depending on whether the left or the right prefrontal cortex is stimulated.
If we are trying to avoid negative situations or to maintain emotional distance, the right prefrontal cortex dominates. It is believed to contribute to down-regulating negative emotions and reducing any ways we might respond to stress negatively. The right prefrontal cortex is associated with balancing emotional reactivity and mood.
However, when the left prefrontal cortex is stimulated, it is associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms and a more balanced mood. Research suggests that increased activity in the left prefrontal cortex may be associated with more positive emotions. Its stimulation is often accompanied by approach-oriented behaviors like engaging in social interactions for example, with seeking rewards and taking initiative. It is believed to be involved in positive decision-making and in motivation.
So, earlier, I said that Geranium essential oil is often described as being a “poor man’s Rose.” Rose activates the right prefrontal cortex. This makes sense because it's good for people who are depressed, especially if they’re grieving.
But Geranium essential oil does more than that.
It affects both left and right prefrontal cortexes and its actions on how it affected brain processing were far more complex and profound.
Stimulating both sides means it has the potential to elevate your mood, get rid of the need to bury your head in the sand or run away, and it gives you the motivation to face things head-on and try and work them out.
So, if you are feeling low, overwhelmed, and down, but you still need to be able to make decisions and concentrate, Geranium essential oil is ideal.
Further, it is useful if you are stressed because of relationship issues, rodent trials demonstrated that citronellol, which is the primary ingredient of Geranium essential oil, possesses anti-conflict properties. (Umezo,2002)
Geranium Essential Oil and Stress
Now, we begin to see how the mind might also affect the body, especially during times of stress. If our thoughts and feelings change, then our bodies often respond to that too.
In 2019, a Japanese trial proved that inhaling essential oil reduces heart rate and blood pressure. (Masubuchi, 2019).
That’s an obvious outcome but reducing stress has wider physical aspects, most notably on pain.
In 2002, a study was done to analyze how inhaling Geranium essential oil could affect postoperative pain. Sixty-eight children between 3 and 6 years old, in a pediatrics ward, were split into two groups. One group worked with Geranium essential oil and were asked to sniff Geranium essential oil when they were first admitted to the ward, then 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours postoperatively. The other group sniffed a placebo.
On each occasion, the pain scores were taken 30 minutes after they had inhaled their oil. In all cases, Geranium essential oil scores were lower than those who had been given the placebo. (Sirousfard, 2014)
Geranium Essential Oil - A Rejuvenating Essence
Geranium essential oil also supports healthy adrenal function. This is an extremely useful essential oil to use if someone has been under stress for a long time. (Karimi, 2023)
During the pandemic, eighty-four nurses who worked in intensive care were given either Sunflower oil (placebo) or Geranium essential oil to inhale. The objective was to see how it affected their levels of fatigue. So, they were given just one drop, to inhale for twenty minutes, twice a shift, over three consecutive shifts.
An hour after inhalation, their questionnaires demonstrated significantly lower fatigue scores in those who had been given the Geranium essential oil. (Karimi, 2023)
So…consider Using Geranium Essential Oil in The Bath
Lavender is often the recommended essential oil to use in the bath for relaxation.
Excellent advice.
However…
Lavender’s nature is drying. Eventually, Lavender baths will dry out your skin.
Geranium essential oil benefits are relaxing, rejuvenating, and refreshing. You will still be drowsy when you get out of the bath, but your skin will be nourished rather than being dehydrated.
Geranium essential oil is a great way to balance the drying effects of Lavender.
The Circulatory Effects of Geranium Essential Oil
Massage with Geranium essential oil is soothing, but it’s also fantastic for aches and pains. Specifically, Geranium essential oil supports healthy circulation. Massage stimulates muscles and their blood supply in its own right, then, Geranium enhances that further.
So, if you have issues with the cold, because of Raynaud’s disease, or have poor circulation in your feet, blend Geranium with something like Ginger, Black Pepper, or Cinnamon essential oils, and you’ll soon be feeling a lot warmer!
In another aspect of circulation problems, it can be useful for varicose eczema. The Geranium essential oil supports healthy skin regeneration as well as circulation. Incidentally, massage is contraindicated over varicose veins, so be careful to only stroke in a very thin lotion. Let the Geranium essential oil do the work without the pummeling.
Geranium Essential Oil for Hormonal Balance
Aromatherapist and TCM practitioner Peter Holmes describes how Geranium essential oil also regulates menstruation and menopause by balancing estrogen and progesterone deficiency. (Holmes, 2016)
Most aromatherapists would agree. However, there are still very few trials to verify this. Battaglia gives voice to the frustration of the dearth of research into Geranium essential oil and the female reproductive system:
“Often studies involve Geranium oil blended with other essential oils and used in massage. Typically in such studies it [is] difficult to ascertain if the effects were from Geranium essential oil or the massage.” (Battaglia, 2018)
Antimicrobial Abilities of Geranium Essential Oil
About 20% of the population naturally carry the staph aureus bacteria in their respiratory tracts. However, causing skin eruptions like pimples impetigo, boils, and abscesses, it can be a very nasty thing. It is also responsible for nasties like pneumonia, meningitis, and septicemia.
Geranium essential oil is active against staphylococcus aureus in a petri dish. (Bigos, 2017)
Is Geranium Essential Oil Safe To Use?
Geranium essential oil is incredibly safe and easy to use. However, there are some situations where people with flame-red hair seem to react to it. Likewise, they seem to react to Geranium plants generally so using Geranium essential oil may not be your best plan if you have an allergy to Geranium plants.
Like all essential oils though, avoid using Geranium essential oil in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy

Try this wonderfully soothing and fragrant Face Spritz with Egyptian Geranium. It is beautiful for cooling and calming your skin, especially if it feels parched, dry, and taut.
Now, just a note that you will need what you call a ‘Dispersant’, this stops the essential oils from floating on top of the surface and helps to meld them into the fluid. That way you don’t end up with great globs of essential oils on your face!
You can use just a couple of drops of Castile Soap or a couple of ml of High Proof Alcohol. However, I am not keen on spraying alcohol on my face, as it tends to dry my skin.
