More Information:

Though they share similar therapeutic properties, German and Roman chamomile oil are all different species. Both green and blue chamomile come from the same species known as Matricaria recutita, or German chamomile. Blue chamomile has a higher azulene content, which gives the oil its characteristic blue color. When distilled at a lower temperature, the result is a deep green oil high in the powerfully therapeutic compound matricine. Green chamomile is thought to have a more complex therapeutic profile, as well as aromatic complexity, reminiscent of blue chamomile, but with more herbaceous sweetness.

The word Matricaria is derived from the Latin matrix, or womb, referring to its widespread traditional use by women for gynecological conditions. Chamomile comes from the Greek chamos, or ground, for its low growing habit, and melos, or apple, for the sweet apple-like scent of its blossoms.

Chamomile is often called "the plant doctor" by botanists because of its ability to assist in the health and growth of other essential oil producing plants, especially those from the mint family.

Chamomile was worshipped by the Egyptians for its healing properties, widely employed in Hispanic folk medicine and is today one of the most widely used healing herbs, in the form of teas and tinctures, in the West.
