Roman Chamomile is antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal, as well as pain relieving.
Chamomile is also antispasmodic and relaxing. It is very relaxing and calming to children and adults alike.
Chamomile can be used as a relaxing massage oil in labor and will work on the digestive system to treat gas, heartburn, nausea and vomiting. When feeling grumpy, discontented, or impatient, Chamomile is a good remedy. Children, when they have days where they feel impatient, irritable, or tense, would also benefit from Chamomile.
How to use
- Add 10 drops Chamomile and 10 drops Lavender to ½ cup bath salts and mix into warm bath water to relieve tension and stress.
- Diffuse 10-20 drops of Chamomile into the air as an effective remedy for people who feel short tempered, self-involved, overly sensitive, or rarely satisfied.
- Mix 20 drops with 4 ounces of distilled water in a cobalt blue glass or PET plastic bottle, shake well and mist into the environment as desired.
