The oil of anthemis nobilis, synonym: chamaemelum nobile, comes from one of the most beloved herbs in the western world.

Camomile is considered one of the “Nine Sacred Herbs” of the ancient Anglo-Saxon manuscript, the “Lacnunga.”

Chamomile oil and the herb, though having similarities in action, can prove quite different in some of their effects.

The two plants from which chamomile oil is distilled are the more popular German chamomile (Matricaria recutita or chamomila), which has been in use for more than 3,000 years, and Roman, or English, chamomile (Anthemis nobils).

Although these two oils belong to different species, they are frequently used for relieving similar issues.

Both oils may be used to promote emotional calm, as well as soothe the nerves and nervous complaints.

Both chamomile oils have potent calming and relaxing properties and often used as bedtime to encourage restful sleep.

The notable calming properties shared by both oils make them useful for treating any type of hot, inflamed skin issue.

Chamomile oil may be helpful for soothing minor skin irritations, i.e. cuts, bruises, rash, sensitive, dry, cracked or itchy skin.

Psycho-emotionally, Roman chamomile can be useful for calming the emotions and soothing nervous tension.

BLEND WITH: Roman chamomile has a lovely sweet aroma and is quite lovely on its own. In a blend choose more soothing and emotionally supportive oils like, Helichrysum, Lavender, Bergamot, Rose, Neroli, Melissa, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Geranium, Red Mandarin, Spikenard, Vetiver and Ylang Ylang. 

SUGGESTED USE ON LABEL: Adult: Dispense 1-3 drops on a cotton ball or smell strip and inhale, or as directed.

CAUTIONS: Roman chamomile may make asthma and some allergies worse, so people with known sensitivities should not use it. It you’re unsure if you have a sensitivity, do a skin patch test. Although Roman chamomile can be quite helpful for pregnant moms, never use it during the first trimester without supervision of a qualified health professional. There is a very low risk that Roman chamomile may induce menstruation, and/or premature labor, due to its emmenagogue and utero-tonic effects.
