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 viceral symptoms that can arise therefrom, 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).

The sesquiterpenes (chamazulene) and sesquiterpenols (a-bisabolol) of this chamomile may excel in a wide range of healing properties, which are hard to find in comparable strength in any other oils. The blue/green viscous liquid has a strong, sweetish warm herbaceous aroma.

The botanical name of Chamomile, "Martricaria", meaning "Caring for the womb" finds its echo in folk medicine that has always emphasizes chamomile’s emmenagogue properties and its connection with the female system. German or "Blue" Chamomile can be of good help in cases of headaches caused by gall bladder deficiency and general digestive problems and nausea. Similar to Helichrysum, it has been used to dissolve congestions of the blood. It has excellent properties to ease neuralgic pain and inflammatory processes, esp. of the eyes and the stomach (ulcer), but also helps with cystitis, arthritis, inflamed joints and rheumatism in some individuals.

Another area where German Chamomile can be of great help is the skin, as can Roman Chamomile - though the anti-inflammatory properties of the Blue variety are considered greater. The list is extensive: skin inflammations, acne, allergies, boils, burns, cuts, eczema, dermatitis, problems of the scalp, rashes, insect bites, infected wounds, skin impurities and more.
