The traditional empirical and anecdotal narrative for Geranium is it was once regarded as a great healing plant and
often used as a remedy for wounds, tumors and fractures.  Its ability to please the mind, calm agitation, and ease
frustration and irritability. It may help instill a feeling of calm strength and security which is beneficial for both
chronic and acute anxiety, particularly when overworked.  

During medieval times people planted geranium around their cottages as a protective herb.  

It is said to be a herb of Venus, symbolizing the feminine qualities of sensuality. It will help connect us to our
feelings and remember the value of our imagination and intuition.  A true friend to women.
