Rose Geranium Essential Oil is extracted from flowers and leaves of the plant Pelargonium graveolens, also called geranium or rose-scented geranium, native to South Africa and Mozambique. To Europe it was introduced during 17th century, and since then it has been cultivated in Spain, Italy and France. Traditionally the edible flowers and leaves are used as flavouring in vinegar, cakes, jams, jellies, ice creams and teas.
Rose Geranium Essential Oil is widely used in the perfume and fragrance industry. It has sweet, rose-like floral scent with earthy undertone. The oil also has many therapeutic properties, for example its major components – citronellol, nerol and geraniol offer astringent, antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antidepressant and sedative action.
