Chamomile Roman (P) Essential Oil - 10 ml

Roman Chamomile, scientifically known as Anthemis Nobilis, yields a light blue essential oil when freshly extracted from its flowers and upper plant parts through steam distillation. This evergreen herb, with a delightful fresh apple scent, is primarily cultivated in France, Belgium, and Eastern Europe.

Renowned for its exceptional calming properties, Roman Chamomile is believed to alleviate irritation, impatience, and offer relief from PMS, menstrual, and menopausal problems. Its versatility extends to addressing various skin issues like acne, eczema, rashes, wounds, dermatitis, dry/itchy skin, and allergies. Additionally, it is reputed to be beneficial for abdominal pain, gall bladder problems, throat infections, and provides relief from allergies, hay fever, and asthma.

The oil derived from Roman Chamomile is useful in diluted solutions for calming children dealing with colic, irritability, diarrhea, and teething discomfort. In vaporizers, it proves effective in soothing headaches, nervous complaints, and migraines. While gentle enough for use with children and babies, it is recommended to consult an expert before administration.

Chamomile's medicinal use traces back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. Egyptians dedicated it to the sun god, with a papyrus document from 2800 BC recording its use in treating skin disorders. Chamomile oil was even utilized in embalming practices. The great Greek physician Hippocrates is said to have employed chamomile as a herbal remedy. In mythology, chamomile holds significance as one of the nine sacred herbs bestowed by Wodan, the god of the underworld, to mortals for improving their lives.
