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.

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.

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 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
