"There are over 250 known varieties of Geranium, grown throughout the world. The fragrant plant used to extract our essential oil is the Pelargonium Gravolens, originating from South Africa. Unlike many other floral fragrances, the distillation process for Geranium essential oil uses the leaves of the plant, not the flowers themselves. The velvety leaves of the plant contain thousands of microscopic hairs, each one housing a tiny drop of essential oil. Geranium is used in modern aromatherapy to nurture and lighten the soul. Great for balancing mood and calming anxiety. "
