This hydrosol of Pelargonium graveolens is cooling for hot flashes, especially when blended with Peppermint Hydrosol, as either a spritzer or in a glass of cool water. Our Rose Geranium hydrosol is a bit more floral and "rosy" aromatically than our Reunion style Geranium hydrosol.
Geranium is thought to be a cellular regenerative, thus Geranium Hydrosol is a toner of choice for mature skin, or the perfect liquid to use in creating a facial masque. Like Geranium Essential Oil, Rose Geranium Hydrosol is recommended for balancing combination skin, since it balances both oily and dry skin.
Jeanne Rose suggests using Rose Geranium Hydrosol as a spray on smelly pets to deodorize them.
Suzanne Catty says that it is a humectant, wonderful for dry skin, or mixed into a clay and honey mask. She also recommends it as an anti-inflammatory, useful for sunburns, rosacea, rashes, any condition where redness or heat is present. (I think blending with Helichrysum Hydrosol or even Yarrow Hydrosol would improve its anti-inflammatory properties, and the Rose Geranium would certainly improve the aroma of the yarrow water!)
Emotionally, this lovely spray can bring balance to our psyches, it is said to balance female and male energies. By inhalation, the spray is said to be antidepressant and to relieve hot flashes. Jeanne Rose suggests taking it internally (1 teaspoonful in a glass of water, once a day) both as a tonic, and to help women with hormonal balance or during menopause.
Our hydrosols are packaged in blue cobalt bottles with atomizer tops for ease of use. Hydrosols are perishable: keep refrigerated. For more information on how they're made and their uses, click here.
