Geranium Essential Oil

Pelargoniums, commonly called geraniums, shouldn't be confused with the European genus Geranium. The name Pelargoniums is a Greek word that derives from Palargos, meaning "stork". The beak-like fruits originated from South Africa and were first officially recorded in Europe in 1690; they are now a popular and widespread garden plant in frost-free areas. Only a few of their 200 species are cultivated for the production of geranium essential oil. The primary flower cultivation and production regions are Reunion, Madagascar, Egypt, and most other North African countries. Climate and soil are crucial factors in the quality of the plant and the essential oil.

This oil was a complete mystery until the work by Recluz, the chemist responsible for the first distillation of the leaves in 1819. Later, a chemist and botanist called Demarson made a study in Paris that identified the top varieties to yield essential oil production. Rose Geranium began in France in 1847. These researches led to the introduction of Geranium oil to therapy.
