Roman Chamomile Organic Essential Oil

ETHERIC OIL

Roman camomile or sweet camomile is a perennial plant that flowers between July and September. It is found in western Europe and western France. Its flowers resemble small daisies on stems covered with a light down.

The essential oil of Roman chamomile comes from steam distillation of chamomile flower heads. It should not be confused with the essential oil of German chamomile, which has different virtues and methods of application. The essential oil of Roman chamomile has a fruity scent reminiscent of apple.

Roman chamomile essential oil is characterised by its high content of monoterpene esters.
