CHAMOMILE Chamaemeleum nobile (Roman) & Matricaria Chamomilla (German)
I imagine children playing in a sunny wildflower meadow when I think of Chamomile’s small apple-scented daisy-like flowers. Chamomiles’ gift is to help you recognize yourself and what you truly need and want. The plant balances the solar plexus (digestion) allowing you to release fixed expectations, be patient, and receive assistance being offered. It’s calming, soothing, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic (pain reliever). The oil is specific for types who are feeling “trod on”. German Chamomile is a rich blue color and helpful for all “red” conditions—cools inflammation, anger, rashes, sunburn, irritation. It helps release over-controlling or perfectionist tendencies. Roman Chamomile is prized for its emotionally balancing qualities. Both oils are excellent for skin care, PMS, stress-related disorders, Candida, and for babies and children. The essential oil is quite potent so you don’t need much. CHILDREN

It helps us feel safe to move back into our body. I use it sparingly in blends or directly during sessions.
