Chamomile German Blue

The oil is grown mainly in Hungary and Eastern Europe, no longer in Germany despite its name. It should be a medium viscosity ink-blue oil. It has a strong, sweet and warm-herbaceous aroma. German Chamomile has many of the same properties as Roman Chamomile. But, with a much higher azulene (the cause for the blue) content its anti-inflammatory actions are greater. Some traditional uses: to relieve muscular pain, to heal skin inflammations, acne and wounds, as a sedative, to ease anxiety and nervous tension, to help with sleeplessness. Its main chemical components are: Chamazulene, farnesene, bisabolol oxide. Blends well with: bergamot, marjoram, jasmine, patchouli, neroli, lavender, clary sage, lemon, rose and ylang ylang.

Caution: German Chamomile should be avoided during early pregnancy and may cause skin reactions in some people.
