  Geranium
  Latin name: Pelargonium graveolens
  Family: Geraniaceae
  Plant Part: Leaves, Flowers, and stems

Geranium stimulates balance, warms, and uplifts the physical and emotional body; even though geranium smells flowery the majority of the essential oil glands are found in the leaves. Geranium has antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, astringent, diuretic, deodorant, sedative, and vermifuge properties. Geranium radiates the feminine “Venus” qualities of sensuality, creative intuition, emotion, and protective character, balancing to the adrenal cortex assisting hormonal issues such as pre-menstrual syndrome, menopausal, premenopausal, moon cycle distress, and sore swollen breasts before or during the menstrual cycle.

Natures First Aid

CINNAMON BARK (Internal use) hot toddy for viral, flu, and cold symptoms: One tablespoon of honey, a few drops of CINNAMON BARK essential oil and fill a cup with hot water. W/CORIANDER SEED

This will ease pain, and assist inflammation and bruising caused by injury. The results are incredibly amazing! Remember castor oil wraps also, you can either add castor oil after the essential oils or wrap with castor oil in between the essential oil wraps.

(Generous drops of each are applied to the affected area and let dry somewhat between each essential oil application.)
Applications of ELEMI, LAVANDER, SPRUCE, MARJORAM, and Peru BALSAM. Apply Peru BALSAM last, as the varicosity is a bit sticky. Then wrap the area with a cotton gauze roll and spray cotton gauze with FRANKINCENSE or HELICHRYSUM hydrosol. Remember the golden rule: Ice, Elevate, and Rest. Three to two times a day until you achieve the desired effects and relief.

As a bodyworker/massage therapist, I find Spruce, Black wonderful for personal use at the end of a busy day working with multiple clients. Most individuals who do bodywork/massage therapy tend toward a more empathic nature in general; add to that feeling tired or overwhelmed, Spruce Black or Pine Black can clear us from our day's work.
