Roman Chamomile, or Chamaemelum nobile, originated in the United Kingdom. Steam Distilled from the flowers of this small perennial creates a sweet, "green," herbaceous apple-like scent. The powerful, sweet scent is a favorite among essential oil users to help ease children and adults to sleep. This oil is soothing and gentle, making it safe for kids when diluted properly. Diffuse before bedtime, apply topically using your favorite Plant Therapy Carrier Oil, or add to a warm nighttime bath to promote relaxation and a restful, refreshing night of sleep. Roman Chamomile helps to ease tired muscles after strenuous exercise and aching joints due to aging.
