Common Names: sweet scented geranium
Uses: Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, febrifuge, antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, to treat gallbladder and liver problems, a digestive, to cure gastric ulcers, wounds, burns, respiratory diseases, jaundice, infertility, and urinary stones. It is also used to cure vaginal infections before and after childbirth.
Researchers studied using gold nanoparticles as antibacterial agents against Streptococcus Mutans and Candida Albicans. They aim to create an environmentally sustainable nano-platform with exceptional antimicrobial properties for dental care.
Lavender and geranium essential oil compounds linalool and geraniol show potential in reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and altering iron metabolism in in vitro Parkinson's models. Potential alternative therapy.
Geranium essential oil in ultrafine bean starch fibers showed high antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria, with potential for food packaging to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life.
Inhaling geranium essential oil reduced pain, anxiety, and stress in lumbar spinal stenosis patients. It may be a helpful additional therapy for pain and psychological factors.
Researchers investigated the potential synergistic antifungal biofilm activity of combining diclofenac sodium salt (DSS) with essential oils (EOs) from three different species. The combination significantly improved antifungal activity and lowered required concentrations, suggesting a potential way to combat drug-resistant fungal infections.
The study optimized the extraction of oil from Pelargonium graveolens and found that autumn yielded the highest amount. The oil showed antimicrobial properties and was effective against Gram-negative bacteria and MRSA when combined with certain antibiotics. This has potential applications in the perfume, cosmetic, and medical industries.
Scientists studied the impact of different solar radiation wavelengths on plants' growth and secondary metabolites. Understanding this helps improve plant quality and quantity, benefiting agriculture and pharmaceutical industries.
Geranium oil improved motor performance and prevented neuron death in a Parkinson's disease (PD) mouse model. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties suggest it could be a safe treatment for PD, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
Study finds combining L. essential oil with antibiotics improves effectiveness and enhances killing activity in macrophage cells, offering a potential immunotherapeutic strategy against infections and antibiotic resistance.
Aromatherapy with Pelargonium graveolens essential oil reduces fatigue and improves sleep quality for ICU nurses, benefitting patient care and nurse well-being.
Researchers tested 12 essential oils (EOs) to find ones that can block SARS-CoV-2 delta variant entry into cells without harming them. The EOs were tested on human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (HeLa ACE-2) cells using a pseudoviral entry assay and the XTT assay. Seven EOs, including Syzygium aromaticum, Cymbopogon citratus, Citrus limon, Pelargonium graveolens, Origanum vulgare, "Illicium verum", and Matricaria recutita showed promise in inhibiting the virus with potentially no harm to cells. The research suggests these EOs may be an alternative treatment for SARS-CoV-2 delta variant.
Researchers analyzed rose-scented geranium oil composition and monitored changes in the citronellol to geraniol ratio. This provides insights into the plant's development and compounds correlation, essential for the economically important plant.
