Enjoying my rose geranium and lavender tea.
Geranium has natural antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties that make it a wonderful cold and flu reliever if you feel yourself getting sick. Drinking a cup of geranium tea or even chewing on the leaves (remember, only the rose-scented variety) will boost the strength of your immune system. It also promotes a quick recovery from a variety of illnesses, including cold.
There are many other varieties of scented geraniums out there but not all of these are edible. I only use the Rose-Scented variety myself. If you choose another variety, please make sure that it is edible before taking it internally.
Geranium include its ability to lower stress levels, reduce inflammation, relieve menstrual pain, strengthen the immune system, ease digestion, and improve kidney, skin, and hair health. It has antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties, which help heal wounds faster.
If you suffer from sore joints, aching muscles, or even internal inflammation of the gut or cardiovascular system, geranium tea can provide relief from the discomfort while reducing the strain on your body’s sensitive areas.
Although quite similar to its anti-inflammatory properties, the analgesic ability of geranium has made it a popular traditional remedy for headaches and other injuries. If you suffer from chronic pain or migraines, research has shown that its tea can release endorphins and relieve pain quite rapidly. This effect is relatively mild, and shouldn’t be relied on for permanent pain relief.
