100% Pure & Natural Chamomile German Essential Oil

Botanical Name: chamomilla matricaria

Chamomile German has been used for centuries by the Germans as an oil that is "alles zutraut" or "capable of anything."

Widely used in the cosmetic industry, Chamomile German Essential Oil is used in creams, shampoos and conditioners for its hydrating, calming properties.

There is sometimes some confusion with using the term "Blue Chamomile" as it can apply to the German variety or Blue Tansy (tanacetum annuum). This is a good example of why the botanical names are important to be sure you're getting the essential oil you want.

Chamomile was a symbol of the omnipotence of the Egyptian god, Ra. The Saxons considered it one of nine sacred herbs. During the Middle Ages it was used as a strewing herb to reduce odors in homes.

In Chinese medicine, Chamomile German essential oil considered yin energy and a wood element. It is typically used to aid in issues with anger or tantrums.
