Aromatherapy with Roman Chamomile Essential Oil

Also known as Sweet chamomile, English chamomile and Nobel chamomile. The aroma of this oil is sweet, herby, fruity and apple-like. The oil may be very pale blue when first distilled, then it turns a pale yellow color.
 

Roman chamomile is generally used to treat psychological problems and is said to be beneficial for people who are short tempered, self involved, overly sensitive or rarely satisfied.

For anyone that is under stress, is going through a period of depression, loneliness, intense fear or is challenged by anxiety or post traumatic shock disorder, Roman Chamomile Essential Oil can help bring a sense of calm. 

If you've ever enjoyed a cup of Chamomile tea, you are already familiar with the aroma and sense of calm that chamomile offers. The aroma and sedative effect of the undiluted Roman Chamomile Essential Oil, however, is much more fragrant and powerful. 

Roman Chamomile is known to be especially helpful in combating insomnia. 

A 1% dilution of Roman chamomile oil in apricot kernel or any other carrier oil will be very useful as a massage oil over the abdomen if the child suffers from colic or around the cheeks if the child suffers from teething pain. It is useful as a mild sedative for children. When diffused, it can help to calm irritable babies and soothe a toddler's nasty temper tantrums.

Roman Chamomile is one of the more expensive essential oils due to the distillation process. You should expect to pay over $50.00 for an ounce of this essential oil.

Have a Great Thursday,
