Overview
Rose geranium oil contains several chemicals that seem to have antibacterial effects. The oil might also have a soothing effect and decrease swelling when applied to the skin.
People use rose geranium oil for nerve pain, wound healing, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Don’t confuse rose geranium oil with spotted geranium, umckaloabo, or 1,3-DMAA. These are not the same.
