Essential Oil of the Month: Roman Chamomile.
It took me a while to enjoy the scent of Roman Chamomile, but now I absolutely love it. Much like the aroma of Chamomile tea, it brings a sense of calm when I smell it. This is because Roman Chamomile has great sedative properties. This means it is a good oil to use for anyone who is going through a period of depression, anxiety or stress, as it can support them in feeling calm and bring about emotional balance. As you can expect, it is also useful in supporting sleep and combating insomnia.
Roman Chamomile is one of the few oils that is considered safe to use with children (as long as it is well diluted) and diffused could be helpful in soothing irritable babies.
As Roman Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties it can be useful in a massage oil or lotion to help with aches and sprains, along with muscle aches and arthritis. In addition to this, it can be used to calm inflamed skin and reduce redness and irritation. Roman Chamomile is definitely an essential oil to have in your aromatherapy ‘first aid’ kit.
