On my\u00a0homepage blog<\/a>\u00a0last week, I reviewed the five key factors in achieving lasting results for hormonal and body harmony when using natural medicine and essential oils. These are imperative to understand so that one doesn\u2019t fall into the trap of believing in a \u201cnatural cure-all\u201d or \u201cpill panacea.\u201d<\/p>\n

This week, I further clarified the importance of addressing underlying factors in a comprehensive and individualized way for lasting change. Next, I started my review of rose geranium essential oil by highlighting the research on its hormonal effects across a woman\u2019s lifespan. You can get a quick review of rose geranium below and then click here<\/a> for my recent blog.<\/p>\n

A Summary of Rose Geranium Essential Oil\u2019s Properties<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pelargonium graveolens<\/em>\u00a0(rose geranium)\u00a0has many health benefits<\/a><\/u>\u00a0that include soothing the skin and irritated tissues, wound healing, mood support, promotion of nerve health, alleviation of discomfort, antioxidant protection from cellular stress, and eliminating unwanted microbes. I also recently found\u00a0a few intriguing uses regarding oral care and allergy symptom relief.<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

In my summaries of the\u00a0research studies on<\/a><\/u>\u00a0rose geranium, I highlighted its ability to protect male rodents’\u00a0sperm from a nasty endocrine-disrupting chemical. Considering how chemicals in our environment are\u00a0now being linked<\/a><\/u>\u00a0to many hormonal disorders ranging from thyroid disorders to infertility (and other brain and body diseases), this is a mechanism that should be explored further with humans. Interestingly, there is also research that essential oils can assist\u00a0our bodies with detoxification<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n

In general, essential oils are very powerful through their aromatic properties due to their direct link to the emotional center of our brain. This combines with their biochemical constituents that effect the functioning and signaling within our brain, our physiology, and stress response. Rose geranium has also been found to be stress-relieving and have calming effects on the mind and body. This is important because stress and negative emotions can cause havoc on reproductive health.
