German Chamomile Essential Oil: Uses, Benefits, and Blends

If you suffer from chronic stress, anxiety, or depression, calming Chamomile may just be the solution to your problems. In addition to being a beautiful shade of blue, research indicates German Chamomile Essential Oil can help reduce symptoms brought on by Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Keep reading for more information on the properties of Chamomile and the benefits this soothing herbal remedy has to offer.

The German Chamomile plant is a member of the daisy family and appears like a small, modest version of the common flower we all know and love. There are three types of Chamomile common in Aromatherapy: German, Roman, and Moroccan. For this article, we are referring to the German variety when we use the term Chamomile Oil. Though all members of the same family, each of these plants has slightly different properties. 

So, What’s the Difference Between Roman and German Chamomile Essential Oil?

The biggest differences between Roman and German Chamomile are in terms of the plants themselves. Roman Chamomile (which you may also know as Russian, or English chamomile), is a perennial, whereas German Chamomile is an annual. Roman Chamomile grows low to the ground, spreading out, whereas German Chamomile grows in a more upright fashion, without spreading. 

When it comes to essential oils, German Chamomile contains more chamazulene, which makes it a much deeper blue shade than its counterpart. 

German Chamomile Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown

  • Chamazulene: Chamazulene is an organic, aromatic component of German Chamomile and certain other essential oils. It appears blue-violet in color and is classified as an azulene. Biologically speaking, chamazulene is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties.
  • a-Bisabolol: Also known as bisabolol or levomenol, this component is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene. It is clear in color, with a mild, floral aroma. Bisabolol is an anti-inflammatory as well as an active ingredient in many common products. It makes sure of many Chamomile Essential Oil benefits. 
  • Apigenin: Agipenin is an organic plant compound that belongs to the flavone class. It has been widely used in traditional medicines for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Recent studies indicate apigenin to also be a promising reagent in certain types of cancer therapy
  • Luteolin: Another flavone, luteolin is yellow and is the principal component in yellow dye. Luteolin is common in Chinese Medicine, where it is usually used to treat inflammatory diseases, hypertension, and certain cancers.
  • Thujanol: An organic plant compound that appears as colorless crystals, with a mild, minty aroma. Contributes a lot to Chamomile Essential Oil benefits.

German Chamomile Essential Oil Uses: For Wholesale Purposes 

Aromatherapy 

Aromatherapy is the most significant one in the Chamomile Essential Oil uses list. In the USA, anxiety disorders are the most common type of mental illness, affecting up to 18.1% of the population. However, of this 18.1%, only around 36% receive treatment. Multiple studies on Chamomile Oil show a meaningful reduction in the symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. There is also anecdotal evidence that indicates Chamomile is very effective at helping to improve sleep quality.

Aromatherapy is becoming more prevalent in Western countries as further research indicates the effect it can have as an adjunct therapy. More and more medical professionals are suggesting Aromatherapy to patients suffering from stress and anxiety, as well as insomnia. 

Skin Care Products

Preliminary research indicates that German Chamomile may be able to alleviate symptoms of dermatitis, including dry skin and itching. In addition to its ability to soothe and heal, Chamomile oil contains apigenin, which is a powerful antioxidant. 

Soap Making

What Blends Well with German Chamomile Oil?

Many different oils can blend well with German Chamomile’s fruity, herbaceous aroma. Try blending it with Patchouli, Lavender, and Sweet Orange oil and diffusing it before you go to sleep!

Precautions

Though Chamomile tea is popular around the world, especially as a sleep aid, you should never ingest Chamomile Essential Oil. The concentration level of essential oils is very high, and ingestion can cause severe adverse reactions—if not worse. If you wish to apply German Chamomile Oil topically, you should always dilute it with a Carrier Oil first. Keep all essential oils away from pets and small children. 

One additional precaution when it comes to Chamomile is allergies. If you are allergic to daisies, marigolds, or ragweed you may also suffer allergies from German Chamomile. Be sure to do a test patch first if applying topically, and use minimal amounts.

Worth the price

I had been wanting to try Chamomile Essential Oil but struggled to justify the price to myself. I finally took the leap and I'm glad I did. This is the best price I've found so far, and the oil is wonderful. It's a lovely shade of blue and the fragrance is very strong. A little bit goes a very long way, and I'm delighted that I finally tried it!

Great oil for an aroma therapist

It is an oil that an aroma therapist like me and my massage parlor can not do without. Its anti-inflammatory properties makes it suitable for treating skin problem such as allergies, acnes, cuts, rashes etc. Also it has a great fragrance which soothes the environment which in turn helps everyone present in the room during the massage sessions.
