Pure Chamomile Essential Oil

Pure Chamomile Essential Oil can be extracted from Roman Chamomile and German Chamomile. However, not only are they different places of origin, but the base plants are also different. The base plant of Roman chamomile essential oil is Anthemis nobilis, while the base plant of German chamomile essential oil is Matricaria recutita. These two essential oils are quite different in composition and efficacy. The specific differences are as follows.

 

★ Flower

German chamomile and Roman chamomile are similar in appearance, but there are some notable differences. In addition to the downward folded petals of German chamomile, the yellow center part of the middle part of German chamomile is raised cone, while Roman Chamomile is flat.

 

 

★ Oil Property

Roman chamomile essential oil has a sweet, apple-like scent. Pale green in color, clear and transparent with a watery viscosity. The German chamomile essential oil has a straw-like scent, is dark green in color, and has a moderate viscosity.

 

 

★ Composition

Roman chamomile essential oil is high in esters, including isobutyl angelate, a long-chain ester that soothes the nervous system and relieves pain, which is less present in other essential oils.

 

 

The German chamomile plant contains a component called Matricin. During the distillation process, this component undergoes decarboxylation and dehydrogenation reactions at a high temperature and pressure to form Chamazulene. It is the azulene or azulene substance in marigolds that gives German chamomile essential oil its beautiful blue color, so German chamomile essential oil is also called blue chamomile essential oil.

 

 

★ Benefits

As one of the commonly used essential oils, Pure Chamomile essential oil has very rich pharmacological effects. Both Roman chamomile and German chamomile have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing effects. However, Roman chamomile oil has a better effect on anger, irritability, and emotional distress, and is of great value in treating premenstrual discomfort (PMS) and other menstrual and menopausal problems; German chamomile is excellent for the skin. German chamomile oil has an excellent effect on the skin, not only smoothing the skin tissue but also healing and regenerating the skin tissue.

 

 

★ Cost
