Roman Chamomile essential oil comes from the Roman Chamomile, or anthemis nobilis, plant. The plant grows close to the ground, and has the ability to positively affect other plants growing close by, earning it the nickname ofplant’s physician. It grows grey-green leaves and flowers that look like daisies but have a sweet, apple-like aroma.
Roman Chamomile essential oil is steam-distilled from flowers of the plant, and it takes 100kg of flowers to produce between 400 and 900ml of essential oil. After distillation, the oil has a fresh, sweet, apple-like aroma.
Considered to be one of the most versatile and ancient essential oils, the use of Roman Chamomile dates back to ancient Rome. Roman Chamomile essential oil has been used to treat a wide range of conditions due to its anti-spasmodic effects.
Aromatic use calms the mind, whilst internal use soothes the body. Topical application promotes youthful-looking hair and skin.
