Historically, geraniums were thought to ward off spirits (just like they did with mosquitoes!), leading to their cultivation around homes as protective hedges. Originating from South Africa, Reunion, Madagascar, Egypt, and Morocco, these plants made their way to European gardens in the 17th century. While there are around 700 varieties, only 10 yield essential oil in significant quantities, with garden varieties typically producing insufficient oil for extraction.
