Roman Chamomile Essential Oil
Chamomile essential oil with an intense herbal aroma is especially valued in classical aromatherapy as a pain and inflammation-relieving, nervous system-calming agent. Most of these oils are obtained in Europe, especially in Hungary, Slovenia, Bulgaria, because here, thanks to the favorable climate, chamomile inflorescences accumulate the most azulene - a substance that has an anti-inflammatory effect. The yield of chamomile essential oil is very small - it takes about 800 kg of inflorescences to obtain 1 liter of essential oil. This is what determines the high price of this essential oil. However, due to its unparalleled properties, chamomile preparations were used for therapeutic purposes already in Ancient Egypt - they were used to treat heatstroke, neurological disorders, and relieve pain. Today, chamomile essential oil is widely used in pharmaceuticals, making antiseptic, antispasmodic, intestinal tract-improving, pain-relieving drugs. Chamomile essential oil is most often used in aromatherapy as an effective anti-allergic preparation, skin-friendly antibacterial and pain-relieving agent, as well as in aromatherapy for babies and children – chamomile is indispensable in case of colic, spasmodic abdominal or teething pain. Chamomile is very popular with cosmetics and perfumery manufacturers - the essential oil is added to soaps, lotions, massage oils, bath products, shampoos for light hair and cosmetics for mature skin. Chamomile essential oil blends well with lavender, bergamot, lemon, tea tree, ylang ylang and jasmine essential oils in the diffuser. Chamomile essential oil is suitable for babies from birth and for the whole family.
During pregnancy, it is used in moderation as needed, it is safe during breastfeeding.
