Geranium Bourbon
- ( Pelargonium graveolens )
This is a very fine Geranium essential oil grown
on the fertile, lush island of Réunion, formerly known as
Bourbon, from where it gets its name. Geranium essential oil is great for many skin
problems and reportedly helps regulate the skin's sebum. It is
traditionally used for treating menopause and menstruation
conditions because it seems to have a balancing effect on the
hormones and the adrenal cortex. Geranium has a pleasing aroma that is softly
floral and green; it is used extensively in perfumery.

Patchouli - ( Pogostemon cablin)
Patchouli is a sometimes misunderstood oil that has received an
undeserved reputation in recent decades. A truly fine Patchouli oil is a wonderful fragrance that may
not be recognized by many who claim that they do not like its
scent. It is best appreciated when smelled in diluted form rather
than at full strength. A good quality Patchouli oil improves with
age.
