Collection: German Chamomile {Matricaria Recutita}

Herbaceous. Restorative. Relaxing.

History:

German Chamomile’s healing properties were recognized as far back as Hippocrates, who wrote of the herb’s success against fever. Since then, German Chamomile has enjoyed a rich history of medicinal use throughout the world. The herb itself is even planted to protect other flowers and shrubs against virus and infection.

Source:

Though traditionally native to Eastern Europe, we source our German Chamomile oil from unsprayed crops in Nepal, where the daisy-like flowers are picked just as they blossom, then steam distilled.

Proven Benefits:

Therapeutically, German Chamomile is anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and analgesic. It is an exceptionally powerful liniment for muscle and tendon injuries, and it is widely known for its calming effects.
