Choose Geranium Egyptian if you want to address the following issues or concerns

  • Menstrual Discomfort: blend 3 drops of Geranium Egyptian and 3 drops of Clary Sage in 10mL of Evening Primrose Oil. Massage the abdomen during times of menstrual discomfort. Whilst Evening Primrose further supports alleviating menstrual discomfort, if you don't have Evening Primrose Oil on hand, any good quality Carrier Oil such as Sweet Almond or even Fractionated Coconut Oil would be good for diluting your Essential Oil blend in as well.

  • Muscle and Joint Relief: Dilute Geranium Egyptian at a 2-4% in Carrier Oil and apply to affected areas to reduce discomfort and swelling.

  • Topical Application: Dilute in a Carrier Oil at 1% for the face and 2 - 4% for other parts of the body.
