Family: Geraniaceae
Portuguese: Gerânio-rosa, malva-rosa
Rose Geranium is a perennial evergreen shrub native to South Africa, growing 30-90 cm tall, with deeply lobed, rose-scented leaves and small pink flowers. It is widely cultivated for its essential oil, which is steam-distilled from fresh leaves and used extensively in skincare, aromatherapy, and natural perfumery.
Leaves and flowers, harvested fresh or dried. The essential oil is the most concentrated form, but leaves can also be prepared as tea or infused into oils and salves.
In folk medicine, rose geranium has been used as an astringent for wounds, dysentery, diarrhea, fever, and hemorrhoids. It was commonly applied as a remedy for inflammation and minor infections.
Skincare: Antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and cell-regenerating. Used for oily skin, acne, eczema, and mature skin care.
Emotional balance: Aromatherapy applications include reducing anxiety, supporting stress relief, and promoting relaxation.
Women's health: Used supportively for menstrual discomfort and hormonal balance.
Insect repellent: The geraniol content makes it a traditional natural repellent.
Culinary: Flowers and young leaves are edible and used in salads, desserts, and flavored drinks.
