A Rare Bulgarian Gem for Skin, Scent, and Spirit
Zdravetz Essential Oil, sourced from Bulgaria, embodies the meaning of its name: health. Also known as big-root Geranium or long-rooted Cranesbill, Geranium macrorrhizum is unrelated to common red geraniums but offers a truly unique aromatic profile—sweet, woodsy, herbaceous, with subtle hints of spice. Its soothing, clarifying, and balancing qualities make it a cherished oil for skin, perfumes, and emotional well-being.
