100% Pure German Chamomile Essential Oil 1ml

German Chamomile (Chamomile German), scientifically known as Matricaria recutita, is an annual herbaceous plant of the aster family, native to the plains and uncultivated areas of temperate Europe.

The word Matricaria comes from the Latin matrix meaning "womb," reflecting the ancient medicinal use of the herb for treating menstrual disorders.

The essential oil of German Chamomile is obtained through steam distillation of the flower tops; it is viscous and has a characteristic blue color and a strong, penetrating fragrance with sweet, fruity high notes and a bitter undertone.

The use of the oil has been widespread for millennia. In fact, there are many references to its therapeutic powers from the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, as well as from northern peoples.

The main molecules of its chemotypic composition are Sesquiterpenes: chamazulene, Sesquiterpenols, and Oxides. It owes its rare blue color to chamazulene, as well as many of its therapeutic properties.

The essential oil of German Chamomile has significant anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-itching, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and soothing effects.

It has been shown to be particularly useful in treating various skin conditions and allergies, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and redness, as well as herpes.

Additionally, it tones the skin, cleanses the pores, and revitalizes the cells, giving the face a fresh and renewed appearance.

It is also an oil that is particularly relaxing for the nervous system. According to many studies, it combats migraines, headaches, and insomnia, while reducing anxiety, daily stress, irritability, moodiness, and depression.

Finally, it is ideal for relief from arthritic and rheumatic pain, back pain, and myalgia.
