Roman chamomile produces an essential oil that is light blue when fresh. It can be extracted from the flower and the upper parts of the plant. It has excellent soothing properties and is said to relieve irritation, impatience, and help PMS and other menstrual and menopausal problems. Roman chamomile is an evergreen with a fresh apple scent, and is grown mainly in France, Belgium, and Eastern Europe.

This herb is excellent for skin problems such as acne, eczema, rashes, wounds, dermatitis, dry/itchy skin, and any allergies. It's said to be good for abdominal pain, gallbladder problems, and throat infections, and helps relieve allergies, hay fever, and asthma. This oil is useful in diluted solutions to soothe children suffering from colic, irritability, diarrhea, and teething. In a vaporizer, soothe headaches, nervous discomfort, and migraines. While this oil is gentle enough to use with children and infants, always consult an expert before administering it.

The medicinal use of chamomile dates back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. The Egyptians dedicated it to the sun god. A papyrus document dating back to 2800 BC records the use of chamomile to treat skin disorders. Chamomile oil was used to embalm bodies. Hippocrates, the great Greek physician, is said to have used chamomile as an herbal remedy. In mythology, chamomile is one of the nine sacred herbs given by Wodan, the god of the underworld, to mortals to improve their lives.
