10 ml Chamomile Roman (D) Essential Oil
Latin Name: Anthemis Nobilis | Plant Part: Flowers | Source: England | Extraction: Steam Distillation
5% Dilution in Grapeseed Oil
Gentle, apple-fresh, and profoundly calming — Roman Chamomile Essential Oil is one of aromatherapy’s most beloved and versatile oils. Steam distilled from the flowers of this low-growing English evergreen, it yields a delicate oil with a naturally fresh, apple-like scent and an exceptional ability to soothe both body and mind. Its use in healing dates back over 4,000 years, to the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks — the Egyptians even dedicated it to the sun god.
