Product Overview
Our Roman Chamomile is distilled from plants grown in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in the United States' Pacific Northwest. We visited this second-generation, family operated distillery where, on a hot August afternoon in the cool of the still house, the warm wafts of sweet hay from the neighboring meadows and the determined buzz of honeybees mingled with this apple-y gem of freshly distilled Roman Chamomile.
In some spiritual traditions, the aroma of Roman Chamomile is said to evoke peace, love, tranquility and purity of spirit. Different authors have claimed it benefits the grumpy, impatient, rarely satisfied and disagreeable. Children are typically attracted to the fruity and comforting aroma, succumbing easily to the laid back, carefree vibe Roman Chamomile embodies. Roman Chamomile oil seems universally beloved - its equilibrium and brightness are sought after by earthlings of all ages.
Please note that Roman Chamomile essential oil has a strong odor intensity and should be used sparingly.
