The quality is generally graded by the azulene content and good quality oil should contain between 4.5 – 5%. It is this azulene that gives it a deep blue colour .

Chamomile reduces inflammation due to headaches, asthma, allergies. It also treats colic in children, light constipation, PMS, menstrual pain, and gall bladder damage.

Derived from the Greek word meaning 'ground apple' and the Latin word 'nobilis', referring to a noble flower, it certainly is a plant of many uses. To the Egyptians it was a herb dedicated to the sun to cure fevers and to the moon for its cooling ability.

This herb has been used for medicinal purposes and skin therapy for a long time, in particular in Europe. German/Blue Chamomile and Roman Chamomile have very similar properties, however the German/Blue oil is better for anti-inflammatory applications, because it has a higher content of Azulene.  

Users can expect a shelf life of at least 6 months to 2 Years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight).
