Frequently Asked Questions
How to make Roman Chamomile essential oil?
  • Roman Chamomile essential oil, Anthemis nobilis, is made via steam distillation. In steam distillation, plant material is placed in a still, water is added, then heat is applied to the unit. As water heats, plants release their essential oil, the oil rises with steam droplets that are sucked into a pipe and the oil and water are then separated. While it may not be possible to make Roman Chamomile essential oil at home without a still, you can make aromatic hydrosol water that contains many of the same therapeutic benefits as essential oil.

How to use Roman Chamomile essential oil?
  • There are several ways to effectively use Roman Chamomile essential oil and obtain its benefits, including 1.) Add 10 drops to your essential oil diffuser per 100 ml of water. 2.) For a body care blend, dilute 12 drops per 1 ounce of carrier oil and use in a skin-nourishing massage for sore muscles and even headaches. 3.) Add 6 drops to ½ up of castille soap and 1 cup of Epsom salt for their magnesium properties. Add the mixture to your bath and soak up the goodness for at least 10-15 minutes. 4.) Add 10 drops to an Essential Oil Inhaler and take it with you for on-the-go calming therapeutic use.

German Chamomile is ideal for use on inflamed or sensitive skin such as with psoriasis, as it promotes the regeneration of damaged skin tissue. Chamomile German can also be effective as a calming agent when inhaled or when diluted and applied topically, particularly for menstrual and menopausal symptoms. With a sweet, herbaceous, more apple-like aroma, Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) is extracted from the perennial, low-lying ground cover and is ideal for incorporating into sleep blends. This oil can ease allergy symptoms and may also relieve headaches, asthma and anxiety.

Massage the oil blend in a clockwise direction (the direction of digestion) on your lower abdomen over cramps.

I can meditate

First thing I diffused it, I already fell in love & got excited. Makes me want to drink a chamomile tea that has the same aroma of this. Reading Bible while diffusing this helps me meditate.

Good Results!

While I'm not overly fond of the almost sickly sweet scent, I can't deny that Roman Chamomile is very effective! In particular, it does wonders for cramping, acne, and other painful problems. The scent isn't as overwhelming as some of the other strong (fruity?) oils (looking at you ylang ylang), but it is still very strong. A little goes a long way.

My favorite bedtime scent

I absolutely love Roman Chamomile! It reminds me of growing up in Germany and drinking tea with my mom. I use it nightly to diffuse at bedtime for my twin 4 yr old and myself! I prefer it to the German Chamomile because it doesn’t stain my Diffuser. It is so calming! I also use it in my face regimen daily to calm my skin and made a spray for our sheets! Love love love this EO!
