Chamomile oil has been used for centuries to treat different health conditions. The oil is extracted from the flowers of the chamomile plant through a distillation process. There are two main types of oil, German and Roman. Both oils contain almost the same benefits; however, Roman chamomile oil is more popular and is considered the better choice. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of the oil.  

Benefits of Chamomile Oil

1. Good for Acne   

Chamomile oil is loaded with anti-inflammatory properties that help to soothe and treat skin irritation and redness. It also helps to prevent scarring.  Beauty: How To Take Care Of Acne Prone Skin

How to use  

  • Since chamomile is an essential oil, you can mix it with a carrier oil of your choice, like almond or jojoba or add it to your everyday moisturizer.   

2. Prevents Cardiovascular Conditions  

German chamomile oil helps to lower and maintain blood pressure levels. This prevents blood vessel constriction, thereby lowering the risk of cardiovascular conditions like stroke and atherosclerosis.   What You Need To Know About Hypertension And High Blood Pressure

How to use   

  • Sprinkle a few drops of oil around your room or add a few drops to a diffuser.  

3. Evens Skin Tone   

Regular exposure to the sun can cause hyperpigmentation. Chamomile oil helps repair and regenerate skin cells, thereby increasing your skin tone with time.  Skincare: Hyperpigmentation – Causes, Prevention And Treatment 

How to use  

  • Mix a few drops of oil into your daily moisturizer or a carrier oil of your choice.  

4. Natural Analgesic  

Chamomile oil contains analgesic properties that help to relieve arthritis pain. Inhaling the oil can also help to decongest the chest and unclog a stuffy nose. If you struggle with colds, sinuses and migraines, this is the best home remedy.  Health And Fitness: Arthritis And Ways Of Managing It

How to use  

  • Add 2-3 drops of oil to a diffuser and inhale the oil, or you can also opt to sprinkle a few drops on your bedding.  
  • For arthritis, mix the oil with a few drops of water and gently massage the painful areas.   

5. Helps Babies to Sleep  

Sometimes it can be hard to soothe a baby to sleep, especially at night, but you don’t have to struggle to find a solution. Chamomile oil helps to soothe your baby’s senses and triggers sleep hormones, especially when massaged into the skin.   

How to use  

  • Add 2-3 drops of oil to your baby oil and massage your little one with it after a warm bath.  

6. Calms the Mind and Body  

The sweet aroma of chamomile oil helps calm the nerves and relaxes your body. It can also lift your mood and leave you feeling rejuvenated.   

How to use  

  • When you need to relax or feel stressed, add a few drops to your diffuser and inhale for a while.   

7. Moisturizes and Softens Hair  

Chamomile oil is one of the best essential oils you can use on your hair. It nourishes the scalp and strengthens hair from within. Its hydrating properties also help to ease irritation and itching caused by dandruff. Regular oil use will make your hair soft and healthy.  Hair Care: Simple Home Remedies For Dandruff

How to use  

  • Mix 1-2 drops of oil with your hair moisturizer, or you can also choose to mix it with almond or olive oil for better results.   

Safety and Side Effects  

Essential oils are usually concentrated, which can cause serious effects when ingested. If you would like to consume chamomile, it’s best to stick to the tea. Also, like any other essential oil, chamomile can cause skin irritation, so ensure you do a patch test before using the oil. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on any medication, check with your doctor before using the oil.
