Our blue chamomile is coming from Turkey. With steam distillation we receive from 500 kg flowering tops 1 kg of the “blue”essential oil. The blue chamomile or German Chamomile essential oil contains a constituent called chamazulene which is responsible for the dark blue colour and the pronounced soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. The soothing and calming effects of the herb on mind and body are both legendary and well proven, with over 2,000 years of documented medical use by such luminaries as Asclepius, Galen, Hippocrates and Culpepper.
