Overview

Roman Chamomile Essential Oil

The aroma of our classic Roman Chamomile essential oil is powerfully diffusive, fresh, sweet-warm fruity/herbal with green apple peel and pear-like notes and possessing a beautifully balanced drydown. It 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.

The main components of Roman Chamomile essential oil are the esters of angelic and tiglic acids (including the angelates and metacrylates) comprising up to 80% of the total oil.1 Perfumers in particular find great value in these two esters for creating warm, sweet and fruity tea-like notes in their creations.

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.

I previously left a review for this oil when I first received it and I liked it a lot then. Since leaving the review, roman chamomile has quickly became one of top 3 favorites and a hard to live without oil! Blends wonderfully with many things and is deliciously spicy/grassy/sweet on its own. Love it!

A soft sweetness with notes of hay; a perfect chamomile. I'm mixing with the beeswax absolute to make a comforting blend for winter that remind me of spring days.

Oh my goodness, my life has changed dramatically because of this oil. This was my first purchase from Eden Botanicals, and I went for a leap and went with the 1/8 oz Roman Chamomile. People rave about Lavender and say it's a must have, but I hate the smell of Lavender. Roman Chamomile smells amazing and has taken away horrible pregnancy pains and discomforts of getting big, as well as given me calm. Roman Chamomile is safe for newborns, which makes me way less freaked out with putting it on, like Peppermint for muscle pain. It's antibacterial too! Out of all the essential oils, I've had the best results from this Chamomile. SO happy I got it and next time will get a bigger bottle! This is 100% top notch Chamomile. Get it, you won't be disappointed!!!

I found it to smell like the chamomile tea, only stronger and sweeter. My customers use the word divine" to describe the aroma, when this chamomile is used as the dominant oil.

I simply love this essential oil. It has a wonderful fragrance, soft and relaxing and is very good in a massage oil to help relax your clients or for personal use. I usually use it in my bath at night to help me relax and fall asleep. Wonderful in diffuser also.

I have used your Roman Chamomile in several of my blends. As a Retired RN, I am working on not only the body, but the mind and soul. I have found that RC is an excellent single oil and in my blends such as: muscular oils, joint oils, migraine and headache oils and PMS/Woman's health. I also make body balms, salts, scrubs and massage oils that enhance the pure oil. My customers love this product!!! I have tried several companies and EDEN is by far the best.
On a personal note, Essential Oils has saved my life. I have endured numerous neck and abdominal surgeries and after trying Eastern Medicine incorporated with EO's, my life has changed 90%. My goal is to teach an alternative and proven health method that our Ancestors used so many years ago.
Thank-you for a wonderful product such as your Roman Chamomile. I plan to be a loyal customer for years.
Sincerely,
Theresa Taylor
