| Cautions: | Though German 'Blue' Chamomile essential oil is considered non-toxic and non-irritating, always test a small amount first for sensitivity or allergic reaction. Due to the levels of the 'blue' chemicals, this oil MUST be kept to under 2% concentration or else it becomes a counter inflammatory - according to Dr's. Franchomme and Penoel - this may be an effect seen only in certain individuals. Others state it is safe under all circumstances. Test for sensitivity before extensive use. | |

German
'Blue' Chamomile Essential Oil has that "deep water’ cooling and enveloping influence
which soothes and relieves. Along with Helichrysum, it is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory essential oils. The cooling, harmonizing effects of German Chamomile make it a first
choice oil against
nervous tensions, migraine and all kinds of stress related disturbances. The herb has a long-standing medicinal
tradition, particularly in Europe, for 'all states of tension and the visceral symptoms that can arise there from,
such as nervous dyspepsia and nervous bowel, tension headaches, and sleeplessness; especially useful for all
children's conditions, calming without depressing...' (from Mills, S.Y. - The A-Z of Modern
Herbalism).
