Organic German Chamomile Essential Oil (Green)
ArOmisArOmis green chamomile essential oil is steam-distilled from the flower of the German chamomile plant (Matricaria recutita).
Green chamomile oil differs from blue chamomile oil in that it typically contains less of the active component called chamazulene, a factor that also influences price. This component is produced as the oil is distilled from the flower, and is not actually in the plant. Most of us are familiar with the chamomile plant as a common ingredient in a relaxing herbal tea, but it has so many other incredible health benefits and uses.
Aromatically, German chamomile has a mild floral or grassy smell resembling straw.
