Essence of the Week: Rose Geranium

Rose Geranium is an aromatic evergreen shrub from Egypt. She is one of 700 varieties of Geranium plants, and is now primarily bred for scent and used by aromatherapists and perfumers around the world.

Rose Geranium flowers and leaves help the skin as a regenerator, healer, and purifier. She is good for diabetics, helps with circulation and the heart, heals the digestive system, boosts the immune system, and helps to balance the hormones. For pain, she helps to calm the muscles, and supports arthritic conditions like rheumatism. Rose Geranium rejuvenates the body, is both calming and stimulating in different amounts of application, and allows the nerves to relax with ease and flow.

Energetically, Rose Geranium is a protector through the changes and transitions in life. She helps us to transmute the past, let go, and move forward with confidence and courage. Work with this powerful goddess when feeling adversity or powerful shifts and changes in your life. Her heart healing can help support and lift us up when times feel challenging.
