AD naturam's geranium-type bourbon essential oil is first and foremost antibacterial and a powerful antifungal. It is very popular because it is a venous and lymphatic tonic. It is also a powerful antihemorrhagic (stops bleeding and hemorrhages) and heals wounds and cuts. This oil will be useful for states of agitation, stress and anxiety but it also relieves itching and hemorrhoids. Originally from South Africa, the geranium was hybridized by selection to generate plant varieties in different places such as Egypt, China or Reunion Island. Today there are more than 600 species. The term bourbon means "islands" and the bourbon cultivar comes in particular from the Indian Ocean, where the territories are favorable for its growth. It measures 50 to 70 cm and has green, serrated leaves and pink, red or white flowers. It was imported into Europe at the end of the 16th century. Its beautiful fragrant flowers were very popular there and it quickly became very fashionable at the court and in the gardens of the castles of France. It is harvested at the beginning of flowering and the sun is highly appreciated.
