Benefits of Roman Chamomile Essential Oil

Time for my first oil spotlight.

Roman Chamomile

— Chamaemelum nobile —

Botanical family: Asteraceae

Native to Italy, France, United States, Hungary, Chile, Germany.

Steam distilled from flowers.

Yellow to clear color.

A couple of weeks ago one of my sweet neighbor mamas asked me for an oil (or two) to help relieve her teething daughter’s discomfort.

I added a drop of Roman chamomile + Lavender in a 5 ml roller bottle topped off with fractionated coconut oil.

She used it on her baby‘s jawline and — she slept through the night without waking from teething pain.

Now, Roman chamomile is generally known for its soothing, calming, and sedative properties.

However, as I dove deeper into this single essential oil this morning, I felt the need to highlight a few more of this oil’s wonderful therapeutic actions.

🌱 anti-inflammatory (skin conditions)
🌱 antispasmodic (relieves muscle spasms)
🌱 febrifuge (reduces fevers; cools body)
🌱 vulnerary (promotes wound healing)
🌱 analgesic (reduces pain perception)
🌱 antipruritic (reduces itching)
🌱 digestive support
🌱 relaxes the nervous system
🌱 relieves anxiety and tension

And mamas, this is for us in particular:

🌱 can help calm hyper-active kiddos
🌱 perineal healing after birth
🌱 helps with PMS
🌱 regulates monthly cycle
🌱 aids in reducing period pain


🌿 It has a strong, sweet and apple-like aroma.

So many good things. You can grab a bottle here if you’re keen on trying this essential oil.

This is an oil that I keep handy and that’s a regular in our natural medicine cabinet at home.

Have you used Roman chamomile before?
