Each essential oil has a specific frequency, a specificity for certain tissues or organs and for certain imbalances. Geranium essential oil is an extraordinarily important tool due to the fact that it is closely related to two of the most harmful fundamental wounds that have managed to hold  humanity back in terms of evolution in consciousness: shame and guilt.

However, this plant, also called rosehip, has many more properties and has been used for centuries for its hair and skin enrichment properties.

Influences Of Fragrance[1]

The smell of this flower is a strong smell, with mint and rose influences. It is the oil with the greatest power of emotional rebalancing. It helps in the release of negative memories, in the release of the past, raises the frequency of the spirit and strengthens the state of peace, well-being and hope.

It eliminates the mechanisms of self-destruction, is the oil of love and trust, releases suppressed pain, supports the restoration of a healthy relationship with the mother and the father, nourishes the inner child and restores the connection with the heart, where unconditional love is found.

It releases the baggage of the past and supports the soul in its transformation. It is useful for people who jump from one state to another, whose ambition interferes with sensitivity and spontaneous joy.
