German chamomile is an herbaceous annual plant that grows in a bushy shrub with daisy-like flowers on long stems that reach up to 3 feet tall. It is native to western and southern Europe, parts of Asia, and North Africa. (Not to be confused with Roman chamomile, which is a perennial plant that only grows to about 1 foot tall!) German chamomile is a popular plant for medicinal purposes and has been used in various ways by numerous cultures throughout history for its sedative, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.
German Chamomile hydrosol brings a gentle richness to the practice of aromatherapy, as it is less potent than the essential oil counterpart, yet still retains the therapeutic properties of the distilled plant. German Chamomile hydrosol is energetically vibrant; yet gentle enough for those with sensitive systems, including children. German chamomile hydrosol has a myriad of possible uses thanks to its incredible anti-inflammatory and soothing properties as well as its gentleness. German Chamomile hydrosol can be used in places essential oils and some other hydrosols cannot, such as on the eyes and other super sensitive areas. In addition to assisting with the physical terrain, German chamomile hydrosol is helpful emotionally and energetically. German chamomile hydrosol is grounding and calming. It is very helpful for easing anger, frustration, anxiety, and situational depression.
