Background

Matricaria chamomilla is commonly known as German chamomile, blue chamomile, or pure chamomile. This annual shrub from the Asteraceae family is found in Europe, North Africa, and some parts of Asia. The word chamomile means apple-like, which can be attributed to its tempting fragrance. The plant can grow up to 10-80 centimeters in height and bears white or light blue flowers with a golden flower-head. It has leaflets on both sides of the stem(bipinnate). The leaves and the essential oil derived from this plant are extensively used around the globe for their therapeutic and cosmetic uses.In ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, chamomile was used in herbal medications.

General Information

Ecodrop’s Organic German Chamomile essential oil is prepared from chamomile plantations in the fertile lands of Egypt, certified organic by the UK Soil Association. The plant produces the best yield in alkaline clay-like soil under the PH range of 7-9, which is easily available in Egypt. Chamomile flowers bloom between the months of November and February, and harvesting is done in March-April when the flowers are fully mature because the juvenile and older flowers contain a lower concentration and quality of the oil. These flowers are then left to ferment for a while and then transported to the distillery for extraction of the essential oil by steam distillation.

    Very potent German Chamomile Essential oil – The oil arrived super fast and I used it immediately for some chronic inflammation in the right elbow by applying it neat (just a few drops) directly on the area where it hurts. The pain dissipated dramatically within a few days. EcoDrops also sent a very useful guide with inspiration regarding how you can make the best use of essential oil, which I found very useful. I have already taken an online training course on the application and various uses of essential oil, but the e-book from the vendor was a great reminder and it also had some information which I wasn’t aware of already. So all in all a great purchase.

    Eye Popping! – Tis a wondrous stench, worthy of any Yorkshire household.

  • Silver Moon Sailor

    The real deal – Of course it’s not cheap but proper blue chamomile never is. It is a very rich dark blue just like ink. A little goes a very long way. It has a beautiful summery aroma that lasts well in a diffuser.

  • Banjonic

    Great smelling chamomile oil – A really nice quality smelling Chamomile that comes wrapped up well to prevent spillages. I like to add this to my oil burner with other oils to get a nice combination. perfect for relaxation and other therapeutic uses.

  • Adewale IGE

    Great smell and nice aromatherapy blends – This is meant to be an organic essential oils from Germany. It is absolutely lovely with a great smell with a lovely aromatherapy blend.
    It really works perfectly well for me and I so much love it and recommend it.

  • Ryan

    Good product – Good quality chamomile is hard to find and expensive. This is the best quality, for the price category. Wish it was cheaper but it is what it is. You cannot find it cheaper without losing the quality. So thumbs up to Ecodrop

  • Nick

    A go to essential – My wife and 1 have been using chamomile oil for years, I suffer from nasal problems following a nose break and op a few years ago and find a few drops in hot water are great for a steam bath … my wife often put a few drops into a candle diffuser after a stressful day (plenty of those at the moment).

    Certified organic and certainly effective in our experience, this German Chamomile represents decent value for money.

    Chamomile oil has calming and antioxidant properties. As a result, there are lots of benefits to using it, including these five:

    Address skin concerns – due to its anti-inflammatory properties, chamomile essential oil can help calm skin inflammation and redness, making it a useful natural remedy for conditions, such as acne.
    Promotes sleep – chamomile has long been linked with helping improve sleep quality.
    Alleviate anxiety – research has found that chamomile oil helps alleviate anxiety by acting as a mild sedative due to the compound alpha-pinene interacting with the brain’s neurotransmitters.

    Good quality & pipette is better for dispensing – I’ve been using this near daily. There truly is something so soothing about Chamomile and what I like about this particular product is the pipette. It’s so much easier to dispense and use in multiple ways. Not all oils come through those droppers and there is better control with a pipette. The oil looks of good quality and certainly smells as you’d expect indicating good potency thus quality of extraction. Recommend.
