Geranium hydrosol is also helpful with burns, frostbite and acne. It has antiseptic properties so not only does it help heal, but it prevents infection.
Some aromatherapy experts have found that when geranium water rubbed into cellulite that it decreases the puckering look. Try a massage on cellulite in the morning or before wearing that bathing suit to help reduce the appearance of your cellulite.

There are many ways to use geranium oil to treat hormone imbalances. You could add a few drops to a diffuser or release a drop onto a cotton ball and inhale deeply.
