Roman chamomile yields a beautifully light blue essential oil when fresh, extracted from the delicate flowers and upper parts of the plant. Renowned for its calming properties, this oil is ideal for easing irritation and impatience, as well as alleviating PMS and other menstrual and menopausal issues. With its delightful, fresh apple aroma, Roman chamomile thrives in regions such as France, Belgium, and Eastern Europe.

This remarkable herb is beneficial for a range of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, rashes, wounds, dermatitis, dry or itchy skin, and various allergies. Additionally, it is reputed to support digestive health, addressing abdominal pain and gall bladder concerns, as well as soothing throat infections. Roman chamomile also provides relief from allergies, hay fever, and asthma. When diluted, it is especially helpful for calming children experiencing colic, irritability, diarrhoea, and teething. In a vaporiser, it can ease headaches, nervous complaints, and migraines.

While this oil is gentle enough for use with children and babies, it is always wise to consult an expert before use.

The medicinal use of chamomile has a rich history, dating back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. The Egyptians dedicated it to the sun god, and a papyrus document from 2800 BC records its use for treating skin disorders. Chamomile oil was even utilised in the embalming process. Hippocrates, the esteemed Greek physician, is said to have employed chamomile as a herbal remedy. In mythology, chamomile is one of the nine sacred herbs bestowed by Wodan, the god of the underworld, to mortals to enhance their lives.
