Geranium oil may also be one of the best oils for such a variety of very common skin including oily or congested skin, eczema, and dermatitis. (1)

Is there a difference between geranium oil and rose geranium oil? If you’re comparing rose geranium oil vs. geranium oil, both oils come from the Pelargonium graveolens plant, but they are derived from different varieties. Rose geranium has the full botanical name Pelargonium graveolens var. Roseum while geranium oil is simply known as Pelargonium graveolens. The two oils are extremely similar in terms of active components and benefits, but some people prefer the scent of one oil over the other. (2)

The main chemical constituents of geranium oil include eugenol, geranic, citronellol, geraniol, linalool, citronellyl formate, citral, myrtenol, terpineol, methone and sabinene. (3)

 Geranium Oil Uses & Benefits

 Wrinkle Reducer

Rose geranium oil is known for its dermatological use for the treatment of aging, wrinkled and/or dry skin. (4) It has the power to minimize the look of wrinkles because it tightens facial skin and slows down the effects of aging.

Add two drops of geranium oil to your face lotion and apply it twice daily. After a week or two, you may just see the look of your wrinkles begin to fade away.

2. Muscle Helper 

Are you sore from an intense workout? Using some geranium oil topically may help with any muscle cramps, aches and/or pains plaguing your sore body. (5) 

Create a massage oil by mixing five drops of geranium oil with one tablespoon of jojoba oil and massage it into your skin, focusing on your muscles.

3. Infection Fighter 

Research has shown that geranium oil has potent antibacterial and anti-fungal abilities against at least 24 different types of bacteria and fungi. (6) These antibacterial and anti-fungal properties found in geranium oil can help to protect your body from infection. When you use geranium oil to fight external infection, your immune system can focus on your internal functions and keep you healthier.

To help prevent infection, apply two drops of geranium oil combined with a carrier oil like coconut oil to the area of concern, such as a cut or wound, twice a day until it has healed. (7) 

Athlete’s foot, for example, is a fungal infection that can be helped with the use of geranium oil. To do this, add give drops of geranium oil to a foot bath with warm water and sea salt; do this twice daily for the best results.

Urination Increaser 

An increase in urination means fewer toxins in the body, and being that geranium oil is a diuretic, it will promote urination. (8) Through urination, you release toxic chemicals, heavy metals, sugar, sodium and pollutants. Urination also removes excess bile and acids from the stomach.

5. Natural Deodorant 

Geranium oil is a circulatory oil, which means that it exits the body through perspiration. Now your sweat will smell like flowers! Because geranium oil has antibacterial properties, it aids in eliminating bodily odors and can be used as a natural deodorant. (9)

The rose-like smell of geranium oil is a perfect way to keep you smelling fresh every day. For your next great natural deodorant, add five drops of geranium oil to a spray bottle and mix it with five tablespoons of water; this is a natural and beneficial perfume that you can use every day.

6. Possible Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Preventer 

Research published in 2010 demonstrates geranium oil’s impressive anti-neuroinflammatory effects. When it comes to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, the activation of microglial cells (primary immune cells in the brain) and their subsequent release of pro-inflammatory factors including nitric oxide (NO) play a major part in the development and progression of these diseases.

Overall, this study concludes that “geranium oil might be beneficial in the prevention/treatment of neurodegenerative diseases where neuroinflammation is part of the pathophysiology.” (10)

7. Skin Enhancer 

With its antibacterial and soothing anti-inflammatory properties, geranium oil can really boost skin health. (11) Geranium oil can help in the treatment of acne, dermatitis and skin diseases. Are you wondering, “Can I use geranium oil directly on skin?” To be on the safe side, it’s best to dilute geranium oil with a carrier oil. 

For geranium oil acne use or other skin use, try mixing a teaspoon of coconut oil with five drops of geranium oil, then rub the mixture onto the infected area twice a day until you see results. You can also add two drops of geranium oil to your daily face or body wash.

8. Respiratory Infection Killer 

A scientific review in 2013 looked at the data to date on the use of Pelargonium sidoides (South African geranium) extract in liquid or tablet form versus placebo for the treatment of acute respiratory infections. The reviewers found that the geranium extract may be effective in relieving acute rhinosinusitis and common cold symptoms. In addition, it may also effectively relieve symptoms of acute bronchitis in adults as well as children, and sinus infections in adults. (12)
