Inhaling the aroma of Geranium essential oil (or absorbing Geranium essential oil through the skin) is thought to transmit messages to a brain region involved in controlling emotions.

Aromatherapy proponents suggest that essential oils may affect biological factors, including heart rate, stress levels, blood pressure, breathing, and immune function.
