GERMAN CHAMOMILE Essential Oil - steam distilled

This delightful British essential oil has far and away the pleasantest aroma of any steam distilled German Chamomile I have ever experienced.

Your first choice for treating inflamed, irritated skin. Dilute in carrier oil or use in a compress for any sort of inflammation, but German Chamomile excels at treating all sorts of dry, itchy flaky skin problems. This deep blue oil is most effective used in a carrier oil and applied to the skin. I see very little use for it in a diffuser or lamp.

German Chamomile is traditionally the EO of choice for treating irritated or inflamed skin. I know of nothing better to add to a blend for infected skin, acne, or to blend with lavende for for sunburn

I put it in my grand baby's baby oil, along with Lavender to treat the occasional touch of diaper rash.

Both the German Chamomile oils (Steam Distilled or CO2 extracted) are recommended for treating any sort of rash or skin irritation. For granulation and tissue regeneration, I would recommend this traditional steam distilled oil.

Blends with: Bergamot, Jasmine, Labdanum, Neroli, Clary Sage, Rose 

CHAMOMILE GERMAN CO2

Matricaria chamomilla Spain, Org, CO2 Extracted (Available undiluted and in a 10% dilution in Fractionated Coconut Oil. Please scroll down.)

This German Chamomile, produced by the new High Pressure Carbon Dioxide method, is very different from the traditional steam distilled blue oil. Since CO2 distillation contains all the water soluble parts of the plant, the oil is much thicker, with specks of what appear to be plant matter in it. It also does not turn blue as expected. Picture a deep, dark green or brownish green semi-solid, pasty texture. A difficult oil to work with, but well worth the trouble.

The CO2 extracted oil has even stronger anti-inflammatory qualities than the steam distilled EO, and has a more natural, fruity odor. I do know that it doesn't take over the scent of my skin care blends the way traditional Matricaria does. 

A must for treating Rosacea and/or couperose, an essential ingredient in our anti acne blend, also you might blend with French Lavender for treating sun and wind burn.

The extreme effectiveness of this CO2 extraction comes from its high level of matricin (the precursor of the deep blue chamazulene that gives the tradition steam distilled blue oils their efficacy.)  Research has shown that the matricin is far more active than the chamazulene.  This specific CO2 extract is also very high in the sesquiterpine alcohol Alpha-bisabolol, another powerful anti-inflammatory agent.

We have also had success treating skin ulcers that seemed to resist every other treatment, by diluting German Chamomile CO2 in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil and applying several times daily.

Please note, this marvelously healing extract is difficult to work with. It is extraordinarily thick and viscous because of the plant waxes contained in the CO2 Total. To blend it in a carrier both the CO2 and the carrier oil must be heated to body temperature. We strongly recommend purchase of our 10% dilution, offered below, for your ease of use.

CHAMOMILE  GERMAN CO2 10%

Matricaria chamomilla Spain, Org, CO2 Extracted

Our CO2 extracted German Chamomile in a 10% dilution in Fractionated Coconut Oil. We chose to dilute the Chamomile in Fractionated Coconut because this is our oil of choice for acne and other skin conditions which can be irritated by Jojoba. This is a superb all purpose remedy for irritated or inflamed skin from almost any cause.
