Geranium – Get to Know Your Oils
Oil of Love & Trust

Geranium is not loud or forceful.
It doesn’t try to fix what’s broken or push emotions away.

It softens.

This is an oil for sensitive people — the ones who feel deeply, care deeply, and often carry more than they realize.

Emotional + Energetic Support
Geranium is often chosen during seasons of:
- Emotional overwhelm or feeling “off” without knowing why
- Difficulty trusting yourself, others, or the process you’re in
- Absorbing other people’s emotions or stress
- Feeling tender, teary, or emotionally overstimulated
- Wanting balance without hardening or shutting down

This oil supports emotional regulation without disconnecting.
It helps scattered feelings come back home and restores trust in your own inner rhythm.

✨ Affirmation:
“I am love, and I trust.”

Physical & Everyday Support
Geranium is commonly used to support:
- Skin balance and radiance
- Hormonal harmony (especially during emotionally charged cycles)
- A calming, heart-centered atmosphere when diffused
- Nervous system comfort during times of stress

Think: gentle balance, emotional steadiness, heart-led calm.

🧘‍♀️ Simple Ways to Use
Emotional softening:
Apply (diluted) to wrists or heart space during moments of emotional overload or sensitivity.

Nervous system support:
Diffuse alone or with Lavender or Frankincense to create a calm, emotionally safe environment.

Heart connection:
Inhale slowly from your hands when you need reassurance, grounding, or trust.

Geranium reminds us that strength doesn’t come from holding it all together —
it comes from allowing ourselves to soften into love and trust.

Something my mentor Amanda Curtin LICSW would say all the way through doing childhood trauma work with clients. ⁠
⠀⁠
Most inner child work is actually about getting a stronger adult in place so that we can nurture, re-parent our inner child and live a less reactive and messy life. The adult does all the work and the inner child watches someone finally take care of them. ⁠
⠀⁠
Therefore, the inner adult is the expert on things like: ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
*how our boss is just a person in our life, not the ultimate authority on who we are ⁠
⁠
*that it is safe now to take more risks and handle such risks, like asking for better intimacy ⁠
⠀⁠
*knowing that our triggers aren't correctly sized for the present ⁠
⠀⁠
*asking questions even if it causes anxiety (handling life in an empowered way) ⁠
⠀⁠
*who is safe and who isn't⁠
⠀⁠
*how to read people's emotions and intentions better (not from our childhood trauma narrative) ⁠
⁠
*the adult is an expert on knowing the inner child is active and in need⁠
⠀⁠
And the inner child is the expert on: ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
*what it was like growing up (the emotional data from family) ⁠
⠀⁠
*how people in childhood made us feel unsafe (attachments)⠀⁠
⠀⁠
*how we decided to cope the way we do (surviving it and why)⁠
⠀⁠
*how we got our needs met or survived (navigating toxic people)⁠
⠀⁠
*what we believed about ourselves and others (believing the lies) ⁠
⠀⁠
The inner child is not an expert on things like our dating life - that would⁠ be disastrous and often is : ) ⁠
⁠
Getting a strong adult in place is a process in the beginning of childhood trauma work that is about not letting our inner child look at the present through the lens of childhood. They are not bad in any way for doing that, it's just how this stuff works. This process has a lot of starts and stops. Most of us, including myself, are in our inner child 24/7.

Sharing this for 3 reasons: 1. Georgi ❤️: her patience, communication skills and love for her sister 2. Transparency: Millie, like any child, makes mistakes. She often times struggles to communicate her need for space because she can’t get the words out quickly enough so a push or a grab is her immediate reaction. I spoke to Millie afterwards, but I stopped myself from interfering right away because I think it’s important for Georgi to express her feelings to Millie too. And to be honest, I think Georgi is often more effective at getting the lesson across to Millie than I am. 3) the first time I posted, the reel mysteriously disappeared 🤔 #downsyndromeawareness #trisomy21 #sisters

COMMON YARROW: (Achillea millefolium). At first glance a person would think that Yarrow is another of those members of the carrot family with white flat-topped flower clusters. This plant, however, is actually a member of the Aster Family. There is some debate about the native status of this species. It is certainly found in Eurasia, but some North American plants are diploid and some polyploid in chromosome number, suggesting, suggesting hybridization, perhaps with a native variety. The USDA hedges its bets and calls it both native and introduced. The Eurasian variety has been introduced to other areas, including Australia and New Zealand.

Yarrow has soft aromatic fern-like leaves that alternate on erect hairy stems. The plant has a flat-topped flower cluster that is made up of small ¼-inch long individual composite flowers. Each of these tiny white flowers has 15-40 disc flowers and usually five ray flowers that look like petals. Because of the small number of ray flowers, each flower head gives the impression of being a single 5-petal flower. The 2 to 3 foot tall stem is branchless except near the top.

This species blooms from June to September (earlier in the South) and can be found in fields, along roadsides and in other disturbed areas. There is also a pink-flowered variety that is less common outside of gardens. Although there are some commercial varieties that are good garden plants, most of the wild plants are too w**dy for this purpose. In places, Yarrow can be an invasive w**d.

Yarrow is well known in folklore back to ancient times and has long been used in herbal medicine. It was used to both stop or to promote bleeding, depending on how it was used. The Greek hero Achilles was supposed to have carried it in battle to stop the bleeding when his soldiers were wounded. This legend is the source of the genus name for the plant. Soldiers frequently carried it for that purpose until modern medicine was able to provide better substitutes. Recently chemical analysis has shown that the plant does contain a blood-clotting substance. Yarrow was also used to break fevers by inducing perspiration and as a poultice for rashes. The essential oils of Yarrow were used to treat hay fever.

In herbal directories, Yarrow has more listings than almost any other plant. Herbal medicines should be taken cautiously because of possible allergic reactions and the fact that many alleged remedies don’t work. There may, however, be some basis for yarrow having medicinal properties. The flower head contains: Isovaleric Acid, Salicylic Acid, Asparagin, Sterols, Flavoinoids, Bitters, Tannins and Coumarins—all of which are medically active chemicals.

In folklore Yarrow was formerly used in witchcraft to both summon and drive away the devil. It is also associated with love and hanging a sprig of yarrow from a wedding bouquet over the bed was supposed to bring seven years of love. For a single person, placing it under your pillow was to make you dream of your true love. For this reason Yarrow was used to prepare “love potions.” Yarrow is also called: Milfoil, Old Man's Pepper, Nosebleed Plant, Devil's Nettle, Staunchw**d, Sanguinary, Bloodwort, Carpenter’s W**d, Soldier's Woundwort, Thousand-Leaf and Seven Year's Love.

Essential Ōils to balance your Chakras 🌸

Just before your head hits the pillow...rub a few drops of lavender into your palms and inhale (be careful not to get any in/near your eyes) rub the rest through your hair. Ahhh...sleep. I often have a hot water with one drop of peppermint to calm the tummy and start to unwind. Happy New Moon 🌚. I only recommend dōTERRA oils as I know they are safe to ingest and apply.

Mother’s Day special 2019. This is a limited time offer available April 1st. This post is from the US site.
