Chamomile is a low growing perennial with lacy leaves on stems capped with small, white daisy like flowers.  The plant is native to northwestern Europe and was brought to the United States by early settlers. Today it is cultivated in Britain, Hungary, Belgium, Italy, France and the USA.

Roman Chamomile essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of the flower heads of the chamomile plant. The oil is a pale yellow liquid.

Chamomile has a long tradition in herbal medicine and skin therapy, especially in the Mediterranean region where it has been used for over 2,000 years.  The flowers were originally diffused in an herbal tea for many cures and during World War II Chamomile was even used as a disinfectant.

Chamomile calms even the most sensitive skin while its warm sweet scent quiets the mind and soul. This exotic oil was essential to the ancients and remains an important tonic for our busy, modern lifestyles. Even in very small concentrations, Roman Chamomile essential oil has a soothing, calming effect.

The essential oil from Chamomile has many uses. It is one of the safest and most gentle oils used in aromatherapy.

It is one of the premier oils for soothing and calming -- gentle to the nerves and easy on the senses. In skin care preparations it is often used for acne, boils, burns, cuts, dermatitis, eczema, inflammations, rashes and irritations, insect bites.

Among its many properties, it is analgesic, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal.  However, Chamomile is most valued for its anti-inflammatory properties.  As such it can be helpful in treating sunburns and minor scrapes or cuts.

• Yellowstone Bees combines Lavender with Roman Chamomile in many of our natural skincare products including the Hand & Body Cream and Aromatherapy Body Polish.  Our combination brings together the anti-inflammatory and healing properties of Lavender with the soothing, peaceful effects of Chamomile for an overall rejuvenation effect on the skin.

Note: as with any essential oil, always test a small amount first for sensitivity or allergic reaction. 

 

Roman Chamomile is fresh, warm, fruity, like “apples and straw”. When combined with the sweet herbal, floral scent of Lavender the result is an exotic rich aroma that is relaxing and luxurious.
