Pelargoniums with Rose Scented Leaves have a multitude of uses as well as being a delightful and decorative plant for the garden.
There are a vast array of forms and fragrances available as result of many years of hybridization from Pelargonium Capitatum, Pelargonium Radens, Pelargonium Graveolens variegated.
These scented pelargoniums  have been used in the perfumery industry and are valued for their subtle fragrance.

GERANIUM (5ML)The herbalist recommend rose geranium like an excellent mood enhancer and is used frequently in aromatherapy.  

In house you can made bath sachets by enclosing fresh scented leaves  in a fine material like in a little bag and hanging it under the tap when filling the bath.


I 'm looking to buy a home essential oil distiller in next period, but until then I use the next recipe to make rose water in house for myself. This can be used for facial steams for its anti-ageing effects on the skin. Rose water and fresh leaves infused into water also can be used as a final hair rinse for healthy-looking shine.
