Alqvimia Geranium Essential Oil

Geranium is native to South Africa and was first mentioned in Europe in 1690. There are more than 200 varieties of geraniums or pelargoniums, but there are very few varieties distilled to obtain essential oil. The Egyptian geranium is one of the most prestigious in the world and recognized for its multiple properties. Geranium, and specifically the botanical species Pelargonium Graveolens, is a plant capable of surprising with one of the most valuable essences in the world of perfumery and cosmetics, as it has a sensational aroma that makes it different and particular from the rest. Its fragrance confers a floral, fresh, sweet touch and with a fruity note in the perfumes. For all this, geranium is considered one of the most important ingredients in perfumery.
The etymology of its name derives from the Greek name geranos or crane, since the geranium seeds have a shape similar to the beak of this white bird. On the other hand, graveolens refers to the strong and intense aroma that it gives off.

Mode of use
There are different ways to apply and use Essential Oils and Essential Oil Preparations:
SKIN APPLICATION:
- face use: we recommend a ratio of 99% Carrier Oil plus 1% Essential Oil. This translates into 2 drops of Essential Oil for every 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
- Body use: we recommend a proportion of 97% Carrier Oil plus 3% Essential Oil, which means 6 drops of Essential Oil per 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
APPLICATION MODE:
- Diffuser: the use of diffusers without heat such as the ALQVIMIA Flask is recommended, since heat modifies the properties of essential oils. Use a maximum of 10 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in the diffuser.
- Bath: dilute a maximum of 10-15 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in a small amount of milk (vegetable or animal), yogurt, honey, salt or Bath Gel. This is because essential oils are not soluble in water and need a vehicle to dissolve in the bath.
- Vapor Inhalation: apply a maximum of 5 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation on a pan of hot water with approximately 1-2 liters of water, and inhale, covering the head and pan with a towel, to maintain the steam for longer.
- Sauna: dilute a maximum of 2 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation for every 500ml used in the sauna.
