Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis L.), is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family, resembling German chamomile and possessing similar pharmacological properties. The ancient Greeks named it "chamaimelon" ("earth apple") due to its apple-like scent and it has a history as a medicinal plant, particularly in the Mediterranean region, spanning over 2,000 years. Historically, it was used by the Egyptians and was one of the nine sacred herbs of the Saxons, known as "maythen."
Roman Chamomile Essential Oil is obtained through the steam distillation of its flowers and has a greenish color, with a herbaceous aroma featuring floral and fruity notes. The main chemical constituents include esters (angelic and tiglic acids), alcohols (amyl and isobutyl), and ketones (L-trans-pinocarvone, 1,8-cineole), known for their analgesic, antispasmodic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, calming, and toning effects.
Roman Chamomile Essential Oil is well-known for its soothing and calming properties. It helps relieve anxiety, reduces agitation, tension, anger, and fear, promotes patience and calmness, and effectively addresses cases of postpartum depression. A few drops in your bath or used for a relaxing massage can provide immediate relief from back pain, muscle aches, and tension or insomnia. Inhalation offers excellent results against chronic headaches and migraines, while dilution in almond oil can ease teething pain. Its antispasmodic and analgesic properties make it valuable for treating irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and menstrual pain. It is also ideal for caring for sensitive or problematic skin, such as acne, dermatitis, or eczema, and is beneficial for all hair types.
