Suggested Use:

Add 9 drops to 1oz. unscented body care or to a massage oil/lotion. If you like you can make your own hair care blend, combining Geranium with Rosemary, Jasmine, Patchouli and Lavender according to your liking. Add to unscented shampoo or conditioner (5-10 drops per 1oz. of product), or apply 1 drop to your hairbrush to rejuvenate and naturally scent hair and scalp.  To add to a bath - in order to prevent the oils from floating on the surface - you may want to blend the Essential Oil with some Half and Half, honey, vinegar or Aromaland's Coconut Emulsifier before adding it to the water.

Almost everything! Clary Sage, Lavender, Rose, Chamomile, Rosemary, Basil, Thyme, Cedarwood, spices like Clove or Cardamom and many more.

Traditionally Geranium Essential Oil has been used for circulatory problems, the respiratory and reproductive system for skin and hair care and as a general nerve tonic.
