Background
Matricaria chamomilla, commonly known as German Chamomile, blue chamomile, or pure chamomile, is an annual shrub from the Asteraceae family native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. The name “chamomile” comes from the Greek for “apple-like,” referring to its sweet, appealing fragrance. This hardy plant can grow between 10–80 centimetres in height and features white or light blue petals with golden centres. With bipinnate leaves and delicate flowers, the plant and its oil have been used for centuries—from ancient Egypt to Greece and Rome—for their wide-ranging therapeutic and cosmetic uses. Today, German Chamomile Essential Oil continues to be prized in modern wellness routines.
General Information
Ecodrop’s Organic German Chamomile 5ml essential oil is extracted from certified organic chamomile plantations located in the fertile lands of Egypt. These plantations are Soil Association-certified, ensuring both quality and sustainability. The ideal alkaline, clay-like soil (pH 7–9) in Egypt contributes to optimal yield and potency. Chamomile flowers bloom between November and February, with harvesting in March and April once the blooms reach full maturity. This ensures maximum oil concentration and quality. After a brief fermentation period, the flowers are steam distilled to produce premium Organic German Chamomile oil.
