About Camomile Essential Oils
About Camomile Essential Oils
This image shows the amount of German Camomile essential oil that is obtained from the amount of plant material shown in the background. No wonder it is a costly oil!
Help me choose:
There are a number of different plants which are known as camomile, all look similar, all broadly speaking have similar properties, all look similar, and all belong to the same plant family. It is difficult to be prescriptive about the different uses and you need to be guided a little by personal preference and feeling, but here’s a broad brush summary.
- German (or Blue) Camomile essential oil contains azulene which gives it its characteristic beautiful blue colour, and has a heavy sweet and herbaceous aroma. Its key action is anti-inflammatory, both physical and in terms of becoming ‘inflamed’ emotionally.
- Roman Camomile essential oil is sweeter aromatically. It shares the same therapeutic properties, but is milder than German Camomile, which makes it more suitable for children, anyone who is particularly sensitive, or those with a weak constitution.
- Moroccan Camomile Organic essential oil grows in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, is useful as an ingredient in skincare preparations, is a good support for the female reproductive system, and is particularly suitable for use in perfumery.
- Camomile Blue Tansy essential oil is not a true camomile but is also high in azulene and has similar properties to German Camomile.
- Cape Camomile essential oil is sometimes difficult to obtain and varies considerably depending where it is grown.
