Chamomile Oil (Roman)
(Chamaemelum Nobile)
Calm • Comfort • Restoration
Roman Chamomile; often called liquid peace; softens tension in both mind and body. Its gentle, apple-like sweetness eases anxiety, fear, irritability, and sleeplessness while restoring an inner sense of calm and emotional safety. Lighter and more delicate than German Chamomile, it is a powerful emotional harmonizer and a comfort for sensitive skin and sensitive hearts alike.
Roman Chamomile, known as the Oil of Tranquility, is beloved for its remarkable ability to soothe emotional distress and dissolve nervous tension. Its warm, fruity-floral aroma wraps the senses in reassurance, helping ease anxiety, overwhelm, restlessness, and lingering emotional trauma. With just a few drops, the mind settles, the breath deepens, and the heart finds its way back to peace.
Unlike the deep blue, azulene-rich German Chamomile; which is stronger for acute inflammation; Roman Chamomile shines in emotional healing, children’s care, and daily nervous system support. Its gentle nature makes it ideal for those who are sensitive, easily overstimulated, or recovering from emotional turbulence.
On the physical level, Roman Chamomile is a powerful ally for irritated, inflamed, or reactive skin. It brings relief to eczema, rosacea, rashes, and hypersensitivity, while also soothing headaches, menstrual discomfort, digestive upset, and muscular stiffness.
Its calming presence makes it one of the safest and most comforting essential oils for babies and children, helping with sleep, colic, tantrums, and overstimulation.
