Description

Name:  Chamomile (English/Roman)

Latin Name:  Anthemis nobilis 

Origin:  NEO England UK

A perennial of creeping habit – the herb growing to a height of 30cm with flower spikes during the flowering season (July, August) to 45cm.

Origins

The herb itself has a history of use stretching back to the Ancient Egyptian and Moorish Civilisations and it has certainly been grown in England for over a thousand years, being one of the Saxons nine sacred herbs – known as “Maythen”. It is not surprising, therefore, that it should be known as “English Chamomile” being ideally suited to our climate and soils.

Harvesting

The flower heads are harvested when they are in full bloom in July and August and the Essential Oil is extracted by Steam distillation. The Oil is a sky blue colour when first distilled with a clean, almost medicinal but floral aroma. The sky blue is caused by the presence of traces of chamazulene, a powerful antinflammatory agent.

Uses

The oil is widely used in Aromatherapy for its soothing properties and its ability to blend happily with other oils, and more generally in cosmetic and skincare preparations.
