What is Pranarom German Chamomile Essential Oil used for?
German chamomile, ormatricaria chamomile, is a small herb native to Europe and Western Asia. It owes its name to its significance in Germanic and Norse mythology, as it is symbolically one of the nine sacred plants that Odin, the God of the Sky, offered to humankind to heal all the ailments they might encounter. Pranarom’s German Chamomile essential oil is produced by distilling its flowers, which bloom between May and October and feature white petals with yellow centers.
It is said to have numerous and very powerful benefits, the primary one of which is achieved through oral administration—which requires a prescription from a therapist or doctor to confirm its efficacy and proper dosage. However, it may help soothe and treat respiratory allergies.
Diffusion is also an option, butinhalation is recommended for this essential oil, as it is said to be slightly more effective and, above all, less expensive. Furthermore, it is said to have the great benefit of calming the nervous system and is ideally suited for cases of agitation, anxiety, distress, emotional shock, nervous breakdowns, heightened sensitivity, stress, or even burnout.
However, the active ingredients in German chamomile essential oil are most effectively released through topical application. First and foremost, it is said to be anti-inflammatory and to provide relief from arthritis, sprains, herniated discs, muscle strains, neuralgia, and rheumatism.
German chamomile essential oil is also said to have anti-allergic and anti-pruritic properties, thereby treating conditions such as skin allergies, itching, or psoriasis. Also recognized as an antispasmodic, it is said to be effective against spasmodic abdominal pain, which is accompanied by stomachic benefits, as it helps restore appetite and ease difficult digestion. Finally, it is said to be ideal for alleviating menopause-related symptoms, as well as for its positive effects on absent, irregular, or painful periods.

How should this essential oil be used?
German chamomile essential oil is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for children under 3 years of age. It may cause photosensitivity, so it is essential to avoid sun exposure after topical use. It is also best to dilute this essential oil in a carrier oil for topical application. Oral administration should only be done under the guidance of a therapist or doctor, and for diffusion, German chamomile must be blended with other essential oils.
