Geranium
Heart · Anahata · 639 Hz
Open the chest. Let the breath in.
The heart-opener in our range — Pelargonium graveolens, steam-distilled in Egypt from the leaves and flowering tops of geranium fields that have fed the perfumery and aromatherapy trade for generations. The closest aromatic cousin of rose at a fraction of the cost, with a softness that earns its Heart-chakra position at 639 Hz. The oil of emotional balance — the steady centre that holds the whole composition together.
