8. Stress: It has a positive effect on the endocrine system and helps balance the hormones that cause stress and anxiety.

9. An anti-inflammatory and pain reliever:Geranium oil relieves inflamed joints, muscle pain and even inflammation of the intestines or cardiovascular system, and its analgesic ability works on headaches, migraines, chronic pain and injuries.
