|
 Botanical Name: Matricaria recutica

Description: The Chamomile German is an annual, reaching up to 60cm in height. From May to August it flowers, sporting top-heavy flower heads with a fragrance similar to apples.

The therapeutic properties of Chamomile German oil include: analgesic, anti-spasmodic, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, emmenagogue, digestive, hepatic and vulnerary. German Chamomile contains Azulene, a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. This blue crystal is not actually present in the plant, but forms in the oil and only a small quantity is needed. The quality is generally graded by the azulene content and good quality oil should contain between 4.5 – 5%. It is this azulene that gives it a deep blue color.

Blends well with: Bergamot, Clary sage, Lavender, Geranium, Jasmine, Tea tree, Grapefruit, Rose, Lemon and Ylang Ylang.
Aromatic Scent:The chamomile German essential oil has a sweet, straw-like fragrance.
History:Derived from the Greek word meaning 'ground apple' and the Latin word 'nobilis', referring to a noble flower, it certainly is a plant of many uses. To the Egyptians it was a herb dedicated to the sun to cure fevers and to the moon for its cooling ability.
Cautions:Non-toxic and non-irritant, yet since they can be used as an emmenagogue, it should be avoided during pregnancy.

So blue, I haven't smelled the true EO so I am going to assume that this is dead on. Its less floral then I imagined but I love it.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I LOVE IT. The fragrance is
very strong (at a 3% dilution) and the blue color so deep. I've been
very happy with my orders from NDA. Thanks for another great product
I'll be ordering this again real soon.

I was concerned that a 3% dilution wouldn't be strong enough, but it's perfect for the German chamomile. It still has the lovely blue color, and the scent is full without being overpowering.

I adore the 3% dilutions. They are much stronger than I had anticipated and reasonably priced. A great way to include otherwise unaffordable scents in my formulations. I would love to see a larger variety offered in the future.

Are you sure you only put 3% of the oil in this dilution? I think you put more since the smell is so wonderful and strong and this product is really quite blue in color as well. Your price is fantastic and it allows me to use this precious oil in my facial care products when in the past I thought I couldn't afford it. Thanks for this awesome product!
