Which Flower Best Reflects Your Personality?
An important part of aromatherapy is finding an essential oil that you like. Some of what you will like is based on your history and upbringing. Additionally, some of what you enjoy will be based on your personality.
If you’re easily overwhelmed, then you might enjoy some oils because they’re relaxing. If you’re someone who struggles to wake up and find the energy to get moving, then you might appreciate invigorating scents more.
Highlighted below are some popular flowers and the personality traits that have often been associated with them. Of course, this isn’t the end all be all of finding your favorite scent, and at the end of the day, you’re the best judge of what scent you like most, but this brief guide may help inform your decision.
The geranium flower represents the individual who enjoys fun, laughter, and who isn't afraid to look silly from time-to-time. The flower, much like the personality, can be overlooked at times. It may not seem to carry the same weight as a rose or jasmine flower, but it is an important part of our ecosystem nonetheless. Just as individuals with this personality type are important reminders of what is good in life.
In reality, we all have a piece of the geranium personality within us. There are more than 400 different species of geranium around the world, and the plant has the potential to grow just about anywhere—just as we all have the potential to exhibit a geranium personality.
Geranium essential oil is beneficial for overall well-being. Though it is more commonly-used in beauty products than in aromatherapy, it can still provide a range of benefits as part of your essential oil collection.
If the carefree, easy-going nature of geranium speaks to you, try using the oil on your hair or skin after diluting it with a carrier oil—coconut oil works great. Alternatively, use it aromatically in a bath, room diffuser, or personal aromatherapy diffuser like Forest, Vibrant, or Ocean MONQ.
