Roman chamomile yields an essential oil that is light blue when fresh. It can be extracted from the flower and the upper parts of the plant. It has excellent calming properties, and is said to ease irritation, impatience and help PMS and other menstrual and menopausal problems. Roman chamomile is an evergreen with a fresh apple smell, and is mainly grown in France, Belgium, and Eastern Europe.
This oil is useful in diluted solutions to calm children suffering from colic, irritability, diarrhoea, and teething. While this oil is gentle enough for use with children and babies, always consult an expert before administering it.
The Egyptians dedicated it to the sun god. Chamomile oil was used to embalm bodies. In mythology, chamomile is one of the nine sacred herbs given by Wodan, the god of the underworld, to mortals to improve their lives.
