Suggested Use

German Chamomile is particularly effective when used with a compress, either hot or cold. If you are suffering from a 'buzzing' head after a stressful day, try adding 2 drops of German Chamomile and 1 drop of Lavender to a bowl of ice cold water. Dip a folded face flannel into the water, wring it out, and place it across your forehead. Lie back and relax. Alternatively, try using it in a hot compress to ease general aches and pains.

German Chamomile is also an excellent addition to skincare products for dry or sensitive skin.

Did you know?

It is extensively used in pharmaceutical products for its healing properties.

The reference to German reflects the fact that this essential oil used to be distilled mostly in Germany. When fresh, this oil is deep blue, fairly viscous and has an intense sweetness that some people find unpleasant. As with Roman Chamomile, the high price reflects the low yield and labor-intensive processes involved in producing this oil.

Specific Safety Advice

Do not use German Chamomile at all during early pregnancy and only on specialist advice thereafter.
