Chamomile, German Essential Oil (organic)

This essential oil has a rich, blue color that is accompanied by a sweet, thick, 'cooling' earthy and herbal scent. While both German and Roman chamomiles share some similar properties, there are some key differences between the two that make it worth exploring both. Its Latin name, Matricaria, derives from the Latin word 'matrix' which means 'womb'.
