History/Lore:

Growing natively in northern Africa and Western Europe, Roman Chamomile has now been cultivated all over the world (Kate's is sourced from here in the USA). The word ‘Chamomile’ is derived from the ancient Greek meaning ‘earth apple’ and was named for the plant’s apple-like aroma. Known as the “Plant’s Physician,” Chamomile has the ability to keep other plants grown nearby healthy and thriving in the garden. Its white and yellow flowers reach out to the sun and pull light energy and healing down from the heavens.

Since ancient times, Chamomile has been recognized as a powerful healing plant. The Egyptians held it in the highest esteem and dedicated it to the Sun God, bringing light and divine healing energy down to earth. Ancient Greek doctors prescribed it for nervous conditions. It was also one of the “Nine Sacred Herbs” identified by the early Anglo-Saxons.

We recommend diluting all essential oils for skin application. Applying undiluted oils to the body can cause irritation and increase the risk of sensitization. While Kate's Magik essential oils are tested to ensure purity, we do not recommend or endorse taking essential oils internally unless you are working directly with a highly qualified practitioner who has been specifically trained in essential oil pharmacology.
