Roman Chamomile is very relaxing. A very strong oil for me and a little goes along way. This oil really helps soothe my nerves when I am over stressed. Also, this oil is a wonderful moisturizer for my hair and skin....I am glad i tried it out...a must have in my home.

I use this essential oil in my signature hair oil blend. I am very particular about the quality of my eo's and was a little skeptical about this one because of the fantastic price. NDA did not dissappoint! I now feel that I can make other creations with this oil and not feel that I just robbed my hair oil of a key ingredient.

This scent is so lovely and soft! I put 2-3 drops on a cotton ball and placed it inside my pillowcase before bed. Off to dreamland and sweet slumber. I find this scent to be more genuinely relaxing than lavender. I am so grateful to have affordable access to such quality oils. Thanks again NDA!

I will never be without this oil again! I have Fibromyalgia and stress and pretty much anything else you can imagine makes my muscles seize up, causing debilitating pain. I use Roman Chamomile daily in lotions and it lowers my stress and relaxes my muscles, thereby relieving and preventing all kinds of pain. On top of all that, it smells just like the chamomile that grew in my yard when I was little - like a beautiful summer's day in BC!
Also, a little goes a long way, so in the end it's economical as well.

Although, I am not personally fond of the smell of Chamomile Roman I can not deny it's wonderful healing properties in skin creams, it's effectiveness in p.m.s and menopausal creams, and it's extreme relaxing abilities. A very important oil with many uses.

This is a lovely, apple-y fresh scent. I use it in liquid soap for skin care, for relaxing aromatherapy, and for just plain sniffing because it smells so good!

This is one of my most useful oils in my apothecary of home remidies. In combination with some other ingredients it is very effective for stopping teen acne in it's tracks. A little on the expensive side, but worth it.

My favorite essential oil by far. I absolutely love this scent. I find it very warm, comforting and soothing. Added to sweet marjarom and lavender, it is a wonderful sleeping "potion" for the whole family.

This is a great scent. Again not knowing which chammomile to get, I don't think you can go wrong with this one. Very nice mild but not too mild scent. It's very middle of the road. All the oils I have gotten from New directions have been great. I can't wait to place my next order!!

This definately is one of the first EOs one should start out with. Safe, non toxic and mixes well with others!
This particluar EO is abit more expensive and I almost passed it up since i already have some from another company (cough) but I am glad I went for it and bought this one as once again there is no comparrasion between the product you get from New Directions and other places!
Thanks ND!

A surprisingly powerful scent for such a gentle oil. When properly diluted however, it lives up to it's reputation as an extremely calming oil. I use it in my deep sleep blend and the results are great! More expensive than other oils but I consider it in the top 10 oils to have in your kit.

I was a little surprised at first by the intensity of the scent out of the bottle, but one drop each of Roman Chamomile and Lavender pop. in my 10 month old's bath before bed, and she's calm and happy and sleeps beautifully.

Roman Chamomile on its own smells sweet, complex, and quite strawlike. There's an element in it that hits the back of my nasal cavity like no other essential oil. This might be nice in a bath bomb, or soap. I can't see it being used in a natural perfume oil, although it is recorded as being commonly used in perfumery, and is in fact contained in at least by chanel.

One of the safest essential oils besides lavender and tea tree. Has the most innocent, sweet and lovely scent always reminds me of childhood. Can be used for infants and children in calming blends and healing blends as well. This Roman is one of the best I've used! Very high frequency.
