It is not only beautiful, but also useful. The expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told about the useful properties of the flower.
Air purification
Pelargonium will easily remove harmful microorganisms from the air, including staphylococci and streptococci.

Perhaps this is the only reason why a pot of geranium should definitely be placed in a room with children or sick people.
Sedative
Did you know that geranium essential oils boast a calming effect and are therefore often used in situations where there is a need to relieve stress and improve sleep.
Wound healing
It is believed that an infusion of pelargonium leaves, which has antiseptic properties, can be used to wash wounds and ulcers to speed up the healing process.
However, before testing the magical properties of the flower on yourself, it would not hurt to consult a qualified doctor.
Earlier, the expert told how to water a sickly geranium so that the flower comes back to life.
