Extraction

Matricaria chamomile essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the inflorescences (the yield is less than 2%). It appears as a viscous, ink-blue liquid with a powerful, warm, and sweet herbaceous scent.

Non-toxic and non-irritating, thanks to its excellent antiseptic properties, chamomile essential oil has long been used to treat wounds, burns, insect bites, and acne-prone skin. In aromatherapy, it is considered an effective remedy for headaches and insomnia.
It blends well with the essential oils of benzoin, bergamot, cistus, African geranium, lavender, lemon, marjoram, neroli, patchouli, rose, clary sage, and ylang-ylang.

Uses

An excellent fixative, chamomile essential oil is used in pharmacy (formulation of antiseptic ointments and tonic preparations) as well as a fragrance component in fine perfumery, cosmetics and soap making.

Botany

Also known as "German chamomile", matricaria chamomile is native to Europe and northwestern Asia. Today, it is widely cultivated in Eastern Europe, especially in Hungary. It is a highly aromatic herbaceous plant, up to sixty centimeters tall, with an erect stem, laciniate leaves, and white daisy-like inflorescences.
It grows wild in meadows and open countryside, where it often becomes a weed.
