Description
Matricaria chamomilla / Chamaemelum nobile
Chamomile Essential Oil is steam distilled from the flowers of the chamomile plant. It possesses a sweet, herbaceous, warm aroma with fruity, apple-like undertones. Just a drop or two of Chamomile Essential Oil can add gentle, calming properties to any blend, making it one of the most beloved essential oils for soothing both body and mind.
Chamomile Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help ease anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, and nervous tension. It is valued for its powerful anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to help relieve skin irritations, eczema, minor burns, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps. Chamomile is gentle enough for use with children when properly diluted.
Emotionally, Chamomile Essential Oil is profoundly calming and comforting, helping to ease anger, irritability, anxiety, and emotional stress, while promoting feelings of peace, patience, and emotional release, particularly beneficial for overwrought nerves.
