Early on I discovered that Geranium is one of my favorite essential oils. Why you might ask? Geranium is the "go to" oil for when you get hurt. Geranium stops internal damage decreases swelling get the body fluids moving to where they need to be, and helps to soothe the pain.
Three years ago I landed hard on my tail bone and crunched my rib cage, three days after the fact and still in a great amount of pain, it finally clicked in my head that I should have rubbed Geranium on. Instantly I was rubbing on the geranium, sweet relief. Recently I fell down the stairs while carrying my toddler, seriously sprained my ankle and put a small fracture in the end of my elbow. Ouch! Before I even got up from the fall my daughter was rubbing Geranium on my foot and elbow. Then there was the time.....you get the picture.
Geranium isn't just for big injuries, my children love our "Bonks and Bangs" mixture that we have put together. Anytime they fall, hit their head on the corner of a wall, drop something on a toes, jam a finger, collide with each other, etc. we rub this mixture on them and they feel loads better. To make "Bonks and Bangs" in a 4oz dropper bottle place 8-10 drops geranium oil and fill the rest of the way with a carrier oil (I prefer grape seed oil). If you want to boost the healing properties of this mix you can add 2 drops of Lavender oil to the bottle.
If it happens to be summer time and my children hit the asphalt a little too hard and they have an open wound, then instead of using the oil in a carrier oil, I take a mister bottle with filtered water and add Lavender, Tea Tree, and Geranium and we are as good as new. We honesty have not used neosporin, triple antibiotic, or any other such band-aid cream for several years.
