Though they share some therapeutic properties, German, Roman and Moroccan chamomile oil are all different species. German, or blue chamomile, has a higher azulene content than its Roman counterpart. This constituent also gives the oil its characteristic blue color. The azulene is not present in the fresh flower itself but is produced during the process of distillation.
Calming and cooling, blue chamomile oil is among the most supportive for a healthy inflammatory response to be found in nature’s pharmacopeia. Derived from a flowering medicinal plant that has truly stood the test of time, with over 2,000 years of documented medical use.
German Chamomile essential oil has a wide range of applications including supporting healthy joint function, promoting relaxation and deep, restful sleep. Highly versatile, German chamomile oil is also excellent for soothing and healing skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis, sunburn and insect bites. In fact I first think of German Chamomile oil as a powerful anti-inflammatory for use in topical applications, whereas Roman Chamomile is useful for is psychological and emotional actions.
German Chaomiles ability to nourish and restore healthy skin oil balance makes it an excellent natural support for skin health and beauty.
Although the anti-inflammatory properties of chamazulene and a-bisabolol extracted from German chamomile oil have been investigated and authenticated extensively, as is so often witnessed with other essential oils, their effects are often more pronounced when these constituents appear together naturally in the ‘whole’ essential oil rather than when isolated and used individually. This explains why the essential oil is so effective at bringing relief to arthritis, muscular pains and strains, rheumatism and other inflammatory conditions when used in massage.
Gentle in its action, blue chamomile has a very safe for children, although most children prefer the aroma of the Roman Chamomile. Nature Deva’s German Chamomile is sold diluted in organic jojoba so it is ready to apply directly to the skin, and is a favourite to deal with insect bites and rashes.
