Chamomile plants are native to Europe and Asia. They may grow to about 3 feet tall and produce daisy-like flowers. Through a steam distillation process, the essential oil is extracted from the flowers. German Chamomile has a plethora of uses and can be added to countless essential oil blends to encourage wellness and balance.

German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) essential oil is extracted from the flowers of the non-perennial variety of the Chamomile plant. It contains chamazulene, which gives the oil its distinctive dark blue color and anti-inflammatory properties. Thick in consistency, its aroma is herbal, sweet, and straw-like. It is ideal for use on sensitive or inflamed skin, as it promotes the regeneration of damaged skin tissue. German Chamomile can also be effective as a calming agent when inhaled or when diluted and applied topically, particularly for menstrual and menopausal symptoms. Try adding it to body butters or salves for use on sore tendons or injured ligaments.
