THERAPEUTIC & SPIRITUAL QUALITIES:
This essential oil is a perfect choice to calm, soothe and relieve insomnia. Our Peace & Purification Anointing Oil unites Roman Chamomile with Lavender essential oil to create a powerful healing tonic that is our go-to oil for anxiety, depression and headaches. When Roman Chamomile essential oil is applied topically, it alleviates stress, tension and relaxes the entire nervous system. It also helps soothe skin irritations and its potent anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties are great to help with arthritis and sore muscles.  Because Roman Chamomile essential oil is effective yet quite gentle, it is the perfect choice to calm children (or the inner child in all of us) and promote harmony (which is why Kate included it in our Ghostbuster Aura Mist).

HISTORY/LORE:
Growing natively in northern Africa and Western Europe, Roman Chamomile has now been cultivated all over the world (ours is sourced from here in the USA). The word ‘Chamomile’ is derived from the ancient Greek meaning ‘earth apple’ and was named for the plant’s apple-like aroma. Known as the “Plant’s Physician,” Chamomile has the ability to keep other plants grown nearby healthy and thriving in the garden. Its white and yellow flowers reach out to the sun and pull light energy and healing down from the heavens.

Since ancient times, Chamomile has been recognized as a powerful healing plant. The Egyptians held it in the highest esteem and dedicated it to the Sun God, bringing light and divine healing energy down to earth. Ancient Greek doctors prescribed it for nervous conditions. It was also one of the “Nine Sacred Herbs” identified by the early Anglo-Saxons.
