Modern people, due to lack of time, have flowers in their apartment less and less often. So the undeservedly forgotten geranium was expelled from the windowsills, but in vain. This plant not only enriches the room with oxygen and pleases the eye with its beauty, but can also become a good amulet against dark forces for all family members. The sign of geranium in the house promises many interesting and favorable events in the life of its owner.
What does the flower symbolize?
Among the people, the iconic plant received several additional names: pelargonium, crane grass. Geranium represents beauty, health, love, the desire for self-improvement, vigor and inexhaustible vitality. The flower is also used as a component for the preparation of medicines.
Pelargonium at home signifies:
- harmony, idyll, mutual understanding between spouses. Geranium as a gift to newlyweds on their wedding day will help maintain a happy marriage;
- crane bird smoothes out conflict situations;
- geranium can become a good friend, a psychologist, it blocks negative energy, prevents depression, helps cope with stress after a hard day at work, like ivy leaves, which are able to absorb negative emotions;
- a pleasant aroma repels evil spirits, protects the house from external negative influences, slander, and damage.
Ancient beliefs and signs say that the more often and more abundantly a sacred plant blooms, the more negative impulses accumulate in the apartment. If pelargonium is in no hurry to bloom, this is a good sign. This means that peace and prosperity reign in the family.
Contraindications for use
Products based on this plant, like any other traditional medicine, have certain contraindications that must be taken into account before taking the drug. For example, such drugs should not be taken by pregnant and lactating women, elderly people and young children. It should also be borne in mind that pelargonium can cause a serious allergic reaction, so before using any product based on it, it is necessary to check the body for the presence of individual intolerance.
Remedies from this flower are contraindicated for people with stomach ulcers and low blood pressure, as well as for patients with thrombophlebitis or other diseases associated with high blood viscosity.
