Extraction

Property

Thanks to its excellent antiseptic properties, chamomile essential oil—non-toxic and non-irritating—has long been traditionally 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 bergamot, cistus, geranium, lavender, neroli, ravensara, clary sage, and oakmoss absolute.

Uses

Roman chamomile essential oil is used in pharmaceuticals (in the formulation of antiseptic ointments and tonics) and as a fragrance component in fine perfumes, cosmetics, and soaps.

Botany

Also known as "Erba pomaria", Roman chamomile is native to the Iberian Peninsula. It is cultivated in England, Belgium, Hungary, Italy, France, and the United States.
It is a small, woody perennial plant that grows to twenty-five centimeters tall, with a highly branched stem, pinnate, laciniate leaves, and white daisy-like flowers. The plant exudes a characteristic apple-like scent.
