Roman chamomile produces an essential oil that is light blue when fresh. It can be extracted from the flower and upper parts of the plant. It has excellent calming properties and is said to relieve irritation, impatience and help with PMS and other menstrual and menopausal problems. Roman chamomile is an evergreen with a fresh apple scent and is mainly grown in France, Belgium and Eastern Europe.

This herb is excellent for skin problems such as acne, eczema, rashes, wounds, dermatitis, dry/itchy skin and possible allergies. It is said to be good for abdominal pain, gallbladder problems and throat infections and helps relieve allergies, hay fever and asthma. Roman Chamomile Essential Oil is useful in diluted solutions to soothe babies suffering from colic, irritability, diarrhea, and teething. In a vaporizer, it soothes headaches, nervousness, and migraines. Although this oil is gentle enough for use with children and infants, always consult an expert before administering it.

The medicinal use of chamomile dates back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. The Egyptians dedicated it to the sun god. A papyrus document dating back to 2800 BC records the use of chamomile to treat skin diseases. Chamomile oil was used to embalm bodies. Hippocrates, the great Greek physician, is said to have used chamomile as an herbal medicine. In mythology, chamomile is one of the nine sacred herbs given to mortals by Wodan, the god of the underworld, to improve their lives.
