Chamomile (Roman) Natural Essential Oil

***Chamomile (Roman) Natural Essential Oil – History***

Chamomile (Roman) natural essential oil is extracted from the flowers of the Chamomile plant, scientifically known as Anthemis nobilis, also known as Chamaemelum nobile. Native to Western Europe and the North Western Maghreb, it has been introduced to various regions beyond its native range, where it has become naturalised. Its native range encompasses the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Morocco, and the Azores. Chamomile has a rich history deeply rooted in traditional medicine, spiritual practices, and cultural significance across numerous civilisations.

The Romans utilised chamomile for its calming effects and as a remedy for various ailments. It also served as incense and in massage oils, baths, and perfumes. It was believed to induce relaxation and foster courage, making it popular among soldiers. The Greek physician Dioscorides documented chamomile as a medicinal herb capable of treating inflammation and digestive issues. The Egyptians highly esteemed chamomile for its calming properties and employed it as a remedy for fever and skin conditions. The European cultivation of the plant commenced in England during the 16th century.

Its captivating fragrance and delicate leaves captivated Elizabethan gardeners, and the plant became an integral component of herb gardens throughout the British Isles. Chamomile was spread on floors in homes and churches to impart a pleasant aroma and deter pests. It was utilised in teas and poultices to alleviate insomnia, menstrual discomfort, and anxiety. 

Chamomile essential oil is derived from various species of the chamomile plants, each with distinct chemical compositions, therapeutic properties, and applications. The two most commonly utilised species in aromatherapy and herbal medicine are Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis / Chamaemelum nobile) and German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla / Matricaria recutita), although there are other less prevalent species as well.

In 1741, Roman chamomile was first listed as a medicinal plant in the pharmacopoeia of Würtenberg, with indications of its use as a carminative, painkiller, diuretic, and digestive aid.

French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé and other early aromatherapists further highlighted Roman chamomile’s calming, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic effects. During the Renaissance, Roman chamomile became a prominent component of herbal medicine texts and was extensively utilised in apothecaries. Essential oils distilled from Roman chamomile gained recognition during this period, although rudimentary distillation techniques limited its availability compared to today.

Directions For Use

There are many ways to enjoy the benefits of essential oils. You can use one or more oils mixed together to make your own remedy.

MASSAGE: This is recognised as the most effective way of using essential oils, particularly as it couples the soothing power of touch with the benefits of the oils. To make massage oil, dilute 4 drops of essential oils into 10ml (2 teaspoons) of Carrier Oil.

AROMATIC: Diffusing essential oils into the air using a diffuser can act as a natural room freshener, promote relaxation, improve mood, and help with stress relief.
There are various types of essential oils diffusers, some popular options are:
* Ultrasonic Diffusers: Uses Ultrasonic vibrations to disperse a fine mist of water and essential oil into the air. They are popular their ability to humidify and fragrance a room simultaneously.
* Nebulising Diffusers: Uses only pure essential oils and do not require water. They use a pressurised air stream to break down the oils into microscopic particles, which are released into the air.
* Oil Burners: Designed to heat and diffuse the aroma of essential oils into the air. It typically consists of several components including: The Base (bottom part of oil burner) it provides stability and may have decorative features. The Dish or Reservoir is a small concave or a shallow area on top of the base, it is designed to hold the essential oil and water mixture securely while it’s been heated. The tea light holder is designated area under the reservoir for placing a tea light candle. The flame from the candle heats the dish/reservoir, causing the oil to evaporate and releasing its aroma.

BATHING: Essential oils can be used in bath but only after emulsifying. So, if you want to use naturally extracted essential oil in bath, emulsify it prior to use.

Essential Oil Dilution Guide

Welcome to our essential oil dilution guide for topical and perfume use, where we'll explore the art and science of blending essential oils with carrier oils or alcohol for safe and effective application on the skin. Whether you're new to aromatherapy or seeking to enhance your knowledge, this guide will provide you with practical insights and guidelines for diluting essential oils to maximise their therapeutic benefits while minimising the risk of adverse reactions.

From general dilution ratios for adults to considerations for children, sensitive individuals, and specific applications, we'll equip you with the knowledge and confidence to create customised blends tailored to your needs. Let's dive in and unlock the secrets of safe and effective topical use of essential oils!

Here's a general guide for diluting essential oils for topical use:

1. For Adults: In general, a 2% dilution is considered safe and effective for most adults. This means adding approximately 12 drops of essential oil to 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of carrier oil.

2. For Children and Sensitive Individuals: For children, the elderly, or those with sensitive skin, a lower dilution is recommended. A 1% dilution is typically suitable, which equates to about 6 drops of essential oil per 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of carrier oil.
3. For Facial Use: The skin on the face is more delicate, so it's best to use a lower dilution. A 1% to 2% dilution is generally appropriate for facial application.

4. For Specific Applications:

* Massage Oil: 2% to 5% dilution (12 to 30 drops of essential oil per 1 fluid ounce of carrier oil).

* Bath: 6 to 12 drops of essential oil mixed with a solubiliser such as Solubol (Dispersant) to disperse in water.
* Compress: 1 to 3 drops of essential oil in a bowl of warm or cold water.

* Body Lotion or Cream: 1% to 2% dilution (6 to 12 drops of essential oil per 1 fluid ounce of lotion or cream).

5. Essential Oil Safety: Some essential oils are more potent and may require further dilution. Always check the specific safety guidelines for each essential oil, especially if you're using them for the first time or with specific health conditions.

6. Carrier Oils: Choose a carrier oil that is suitable for your skin type and preferences. Common carrier oils include jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and grapeseed oil.

Remember that these are general guidelines, and individual preferences and sensitivities may vary. It's always a good idea to start with a lower dilution and adjust as needed based on your personal experience and comfort level. If you have any concerns or specific health conditions, consult with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare professional for personalised guidance.

When creating perfumes with essential oils, you'll typically work with higher concentrations of essential oils compared to topical applications.

Here's a general guide for diluting essential oils for perfumery:

1. Perfume Concentration Levels:
* Eau de Cologne: 2% to 5% essential oil concentration

* Eau de Toilette: 5% to 15% essential oil concentration

* Eau de Parfum: 15% to 20% essential oil concentration

* Perfume or Parfum: 20% to 30% or higher essential oil concentration

2. Perfume Formulation:

* Base Notes: Typically make up 15% to 30% of the perfume blend and include heavier, longer-lasting oils such as patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver.

* Middle Notes: Comprise 30% to 60% of the blend and include floral and herbal oils like lavender, rose, and geranium.

* Top Notes: Make up 10% to 30% of the blend and include lighter, more volatile oils such as citrus oils (e.g., bergamot, lemon, orange) and herbal oils (e.g., basil, peppermint).

3. Perfume Blending:

* Start by blending your chosen essential oils in the desired proportions, considering the base, middle, and top notes.

* Use a pipette or dropper to measure the essential oils accurately.

* Keep track of the total number of drops used to ensure you stay within the desired concentration range for your chosen perfume type.

4. Dilution with Carrier Oil or Alcohol:

* To dilute the essential oil blend, you can use a carrier oil such as jojoba oil, fractionated coconut oil, or grapeseed oil.

* Alternatively, you can dilute the essential oil blend in perfumer's alcohol (such as perfumer's ethanol or high-proof vodka) for a sprayable perfume.

5. Blending Process:

* Add the essential oil blend to the carrier oil or alcohol slowly, mixing well after each addition.

* Test the scent periodically to ensure you achieve the desired fragrance profile and concentration level.

* Allow the perfume blend to mature or "age" for a few days or weeks to allow the scents to meld and develop fully.

6. Adjustments and Personalisation:

* Feel free to adjust the proportions of the essential oils to suit your preferences and create a unique fragrance blend.

* Experiment with different combinations of essential oils and note the effects on the overall scent profile.


Remember that creating perfumes is an art form, and there are no strict rules. Trust your senses and intuition as you explore different essential oil combinations and concentrations to create your signature scent. Keep detailed records of your formulations for future reference and refinement.
