Roman Chamomile Essential Oil is a pale yellow liquid with a warm, sweet, fruity-herbaceous aroma. The herb has had a medicinal reputation in the Mediterranean region for over 2000 years, and is still in widespread use. It is current in the British Herbal Pharmacopeia for the treatment of dyspepsia, nausea, anorexia, vomiting in pregnancy, dysmenorrhoea and specifically flatulent dyspepsia associated with mental stress. Even in very small concentrations, whether alone or in combination with other oils, Roman Chamomile essential oil has a soothing, calming effect. It helps relieves cramps, spasms, and can assist in mild shock.

Chamomile Oil can effectively minimize irritability and nervousness in some children; this, Lavender oil and Vanilla oil are the three primary essential oils for this purpose. It has been used for centuries to calm crying children, soothe stomachaches and relieve teething pain. Chamomile Oil can also help combat depression, insomnia and stress. The oil is also noted to neutralize allergies, cleanse the blood and support the liver in releasing toxins. Further, the aromatic influence may help release emotions linked to the past.

Roman Chamomile Oil is used extensively in Europe for the skin, increasing the ability of the skin to regenerate. It is similar to Blue 'German' Chamomile in this respect, though without such a strong anti-inflammatory effect. The two essential oils are quite different chemically; Chamomile contains nearly 80% esters, an amount rarely found in essential oils. According to Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt in Advanced Aromatherapy, " Even in very small concentrations, whether alone or in combinations with other oils (Roman Chamomile) has a soothing effect. It relieves cramps and spasms and helps relieve shock. In such cases, it is appropriate to massage a few undiluted drops into the solar plexus."
