ESSENTIAL OILS FOR RENEWAL

The past several months have been an extremely stressful time because of the sudden global lockdowns and 24/7 media fear instilling pandemic blitz. This has caused major losses on a grand scale never before seen. Many people are suffering loss of confidence, loss of income and jobs, domestic violence, relationship break ups, business failures, you name it! Fear, anger, stress, and despair take a terrible toll on the body, mind, and spirit.

Now, as the lockdown eases, people are trying to get back on their feet and renew their lives, income, businesses, and spirit. Many are seeking healthier ways to assist in doing this. I have found the following two essential oils to be very helpful in this area.

GERANIUM

Aromatic Description:

Herbaceous,

Green,

Floral,

Sweet,

Dry

The Pelargonium graveolens or Rose Geranium flower is grown for its beauty and is a staple of the perfume industry. Its use of essential oil dates back to ancient Egypt where it was used to beautify skin and hair.

In the Victorian era it was used at formal dining tables as decorative pieces and to be consumed as fresh sprig, in desserts, cakes, jellies, and teas. Just looking at these brightly colored flowers brings joy. Geranium is also a natural insect repeller.

Geranium essential oil helps to renew the body, mind, and spirit after the loss of a loved one, a relationship break up, a business failure, a disaster or trauma, or other loses.
