Description

Aroma

Middle note. Like a sunlit field of flowers: fresh, sweet fruity notes of apple and berries first, then soft, warm herbs, finishing with a hint of wood for a round, mellow scent.

Benefits

• Mind — Helps ease the feeling of anxiety and stress, creating a sense of safety and comfort. Lovely for winding down before bed and for meditation.
• Body — A favourite in massage oils, balms and compresses for tired, achy-feeling muscles.
• Skin — Gentle and soothing; helps calm the look of redness and leaves skin feeling comfortable and smooth.

How to Use

• Diffuse — Add 2–4 drops to a diffuser in the evening.
• Massage — Dilute 1–2% in a carrier oil, or use the ready-made 3% in jojoba directly on the skin.
• Compress — Add 1–2 drops to a bowl of warm water, soak a cloth and rest it on tired areas.

The Story

Also known as English chamomile, garden chamomile or 'mother's daisy'. Over 80% of the oil is made up of gentle esters (angelates and tiglates), which give Roman chamomile its famously calming character.
