German Chamomile
There are many types of chamomile from which you will find essential oils produced for Aromatherapy.
For the purposes of this blog entry I will share information about German Chamomile, which is also known as "Blue Chamomile".
The Latin name for this plant oil is Matricaria recutita.

Like Lavender, this variety of Chamomile is quite gentle on the skin. Therefore, it is acceptable for use with children.
The blue color of this variety of Chamomile comes from the azulene (or chamazulene) that is produced during distillation of the oil. It is this blue component that helps make German Chamomile one of the very best oils for reducing inflammation.
Because this beautiful blue oil is so soothing to the skin and acts as a disinfectant, it is fantastic for use on cuts and splinters. German Chamomile relieves dull aches and pains including those related to menstrual and menopausal issues.
German Chamomile is helpful for all skin types, but especially sensitive and dry. It can be helpful in alleviating redness, flakiness, eczema and other itchy skin issues.

Emotionally, German Chamomile is calming. It is an antidepressant which helps with stress and irritability.
Welcome! I'm Stephanie, founder of Spoiled Rotten Bath and Body Boutique. I am a trained clinical aromatherapist and novice herbalist who enjoys sharing information about aromatherapy and herbs in an easy to read and understand format.
I started SRBBB with a basket of soaps and scrubs that I sold in the teacher's lounge when I was teaching. With the encouragement of friends, family and customers, over the years, I have gradually added more and more products.
I opened my first online store in 2001. I continue to sell in my own online store as well as five online sites for hand crafted items. I also sell locally at farmer's markets, craft shows and art fairs. My products can be found in yoga studios, gift shops, day spas, hair salons, holistic medical and dermatologist's offices.
As my children have grown older, and we have encountered skin issues like eczema and acne, my research into these areas and has also grown.
As I have grown older, my products have grown up too. I now offer a variety of natural aromatherapy skin care products for anti-aging. These are my favorite products to research and formulate.
Actually, I like to formulate anything that will help someone!
My products are 100% natural. That means every single ingredient is from nature. No man-made chemicals, fragrance oils or preservatives. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Most of my ingredients are Vegan. I do offer a few products that contain cow's &/or goat's milk, beeswax and honey. These products are clearly marked.
All of my ingredients are certified organic, organically grown or wild crafted & unsprayed.
Every single essential oil I use is intelligently selected. I have been trained in the chemistry of essential oils and choose essential oils for there therapeutic benefits.
I purchase only 100% pure, undiluted, therapeutic, and organically grown oils from trusted aromatherapists who import their oils straight from the distillers. When possible, I import straight from the distiller myself.
