CHAMOMILE BLUE
Chamomile Blue (German)
Botanical Name: Matricaria chamomilla / Matricaria recutita Botanical Family: Asteraceae (Compositae)
Quick Facts
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Flower Heads
· Aroma Note: Middle
The Profile
German Chamomile is an annual plant that grows taller than its Roman cousin. It is often called "Blue Chamomile" because the oil is a stunning, inky indigo blue. This color comes from the high concentration of chamazulene, a compound produced during distillation. The aroma is significantly different from Roman Chamomile—it is much deeper, more pungent, and intensely inky, sweet, and hay-like. It is considered a pharmaceutical-grade anti-inflammatory power plant.
Therapeutic Actions
Anti-allergenic, Anti-inflammatory (exceptional), Antiphlogistic, Antispasmodic, Bactericidal, Cicatrisant, Hepatic (liver support).
Usage & Benefits
· Inflammation: The "Heavy Hitter." Chamomile Blue is specifically indicated for physical inflammation. It is used for arthritis, inflamed joints, and hot, painful swelling.
· Skin Care: The best choice for angry, red, or allergic skin. It is highly effective for rosacea, severe acne, and radiation burns. It speeds up the healing of skin tissue significantly.
· Allergies: Like Tansy Blue, it is a powerful antihistamine. It helps the body down-regulate its response to hay fever and skin allergens.
· Liver & Digestion: It supports the liver and gallbladder, helping to clear toxins and "cool" an overheated digestive system.
Emotional Benefit
German Chamomile is the "Oil of Peace." While Roman Chamomile settles the mind, German Chamomile settles the "gut-level" rage. It is for those who feel "burned out" or inflamed by anger and resentment. Its deep blue color acts like a cool compress for the soul, bringing stillness to a volatile emotional state and helping to release the need for conflict.
The "At Home" Remedies
1. The "Inflammation Soother": Mix 2 drops of German Chamomile in 10ml of carrier oil. Gently apply to swollen joints or areas of heat to reduce redness and pain.
2. Allergy Relief Compress: Add 1 drop to a bowl of cool water. Soak a cloth and apply to the forehead or chest during hay fever flare-ups to calm the histamine response.
3. The "Cooling Skin" Balm: Add 1 drop to a teaspoon of Aloe Vera gel for a cooling treatment on minor burns or heat rashes.
