In order to produce Roman Chamomile essential oil, the daisy flower is steam distilled. It is a perennial herb with a low growing, creeping habit, delicate, feathery leaves and daisy-like white flowers carried on the plant’s many hairy stems. The primary uses for the oil are bee stings, calming, hyperactivity, inability to sleep, muscle spasms, rashes, as well as shock and dry skin.

One can either apply the oil neat (no dilution required), or diluted (1 drop carrier oil to 1 drop essential oil), for children and for those with sensitive skin. Although you can use this oil in a diffuser, you may also inhale the aroma directly.

Roman chamomile essential oil is an anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, calming and relaxing oil.
