Profile
Chamomile is an aromatic, annual herb, growing up to 23 inches high, with delicate feather type leaves and beautiful daisy-like white flowers on a solitary stem. It is steam distilled from the dried flower heads of M. recutita. The true oil is a deep, inky-blue color and is somewhat viscous. It has a characteristic, strong, sweet, green-herb scent with almost apple like back notes. This Chamomile German Organic Essential Oil contains normal levels of azulene.
The Oil is extensively used in cosmetics. German Chamomile is one of the gentlest essential oils. It has similar qualities as Roman Chamomile, except that its anti-inflammatory properties are greater because of the higher content of azulene.
For those of you who would like to enjoy the exquisite aroma and wonderful properties of AUROMA Chamomile German Organic Essential Oil at a more affordable price, you can find it right here on-line at The Aromatherapy Place as a 5% dilution in Jojoba. The high cost of this essential oil is largely due to the substantial volume of natural product required in the distillation process.
The Aromatherapy Place offers a variety of AUROMA Chamomile Essential Oils to suit your preference. Over time, treat yourself to a special sensual experience by trying and comparing the qualities of each. There are slight variations in odor, color, and the levels of constituents within each oil. However, the oils are similar and can be used in place of one another.
FACT: Historically, the herb and nursery trades have known two types of Chamomile: the German type, M. recutita, and the English (Roman) type, A. nobilis. The German and Roman Chamomiles are very distinguishable, and the effects of one can in no way be associated with the other.

Auroma Quality Requirements
AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:
- BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
- CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
- GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
- COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
- WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
- EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
- ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
Uses
- As a massage oil: When applying Essential Oils or Blends on the skin, a carrier oil should always be added to the mix to protect the skin from being irritated. For best results, all massage formulas should be massaged for at least 30 minutes. See “Cautions”
- As a Spray: Fill a 4-fluid ounce glass mist spray bottle with water and add 25 drops your Essential Oil or Blend. Tighten the cap, shake well before using and spray the mist into the air. As the air freshener ages, the sent improves and becomes stronger. Spray around your room, your clothes, even your pillow.
- In a Diffuser: A diffuser allows the scent of evaporated Essential Oil to spread through a room. When diffusing Chamomile oil be sure to follow the specific directions that come with your diffuser.
- In your bath: When Essential Oils or Blends are added to your bath water, they can help you feel more relaxed and stress-free. Fill the bathtub with warm/hot water. Then dilute your Essential Oil or Blend in a Carrier Oil, such as Grapeseed, Almond, Hazelnut, etc. Pour the blend into the water. Swirl the water to disperse the oil evenly. Relax and enjoy the bath. See “Cautions”

Do not apply directly to skin. May case skin irritation in some individuals. Always dilute with a carrier oil. A skin test is recommended prior to use on the skin.
